Seiji Bio:
Seiji Oda is an Oakland-based MC, music producer, and community wellness practitioner whose approach is rooted in a lifetime of Buddhist teachings and the study of Chi Gong. Raised by Buddhist parents, Seiji has practiced meditation since childhood and later expanded his training while living in Los Angeles, where he studied Chi Gong and embodied movement practices. He previously facilitated Monday Meditation & Movement for over a year at Oakland's Clinton Community Center through Tribe, primarily serving BIPOC adults in their 20s and 30s. Seiji believes these practices provide practical tools for cultivating compassion, resilience, and personal growth, helping participants become more grounded, balanced, and connected to themselves and their communities.
