English words:

I call upon the healing spirits 
To come and join this ceremony
To dance a joyous dance of love 
And transmit wisdom teachings
May the sick become well
May those who suffer become free
With our hearts in reverent prayer
We offer love unto this earth

Nocon Shawan (Shipibo Icaro)

This song carries a message of liberation from some of the painful and oppressive messages many of us have been conditioned to believe. 

"My body is a living temple of love. My body is the body of the Goddess."

Many of us have been taught that our sensuality is not sacred, that our embodiment is not holy. We are taught that to be "spiritual" or "pure" is in conflict with our sexuality. In reality, sensuality and sexuality are some of the most beautiful, divine gifts we are given as humans. While we may intellectually agree with this, the conditioning of thousands of years of patriarchy and oppression around these topics runs deep. Music has the power to penetrate aspects of our beings that words alone can't. So, a song that celebrates and affirms this truth is powerful medicine.

"Oh, oh, oh, I am what I am. Oh, oh, oh, I love what I am."

The tyranny of the "trance of unworthiness" is a fierce one. Most of us are bombarded with messages of self-doubt and insecurity by the mass media, our families and our culture at large from a very young age. We are taught we need to look, be and perform in very specific, usually unrealistic ways to be worthy of love. This honestly makes me want to grab a bucket and puke in it just thinking about it! 😂 Yuck! Let's clear that toxic business from our beings ASAP! 

The original words to this song, written by Michael Stillwater, are "Oh, oh, oh, I am that I am. Oh, oh, oh, I am that I am." He granted me his blessing to record this song with the agreement that I stick to his original lyrics, though he did approve my request to include my adapted lyrics at the end. That's why you'll notice this difference in the recording, compared to how we sing it live. I feel the self-love message is important, so I'll stick to those lyrics when sharing it live, fyi!

I hope you'll give it a listen, sing, dance and celebrate your divine sensual embodiment and holy self-love with me! More of this, YES!! ✨✨

La Luz del Bosque

La Luz Del Bosque, feat Adrian Freedman

Happy full moon everyone! 🌕 
I have new song release update! 🤗🎶

It was a hot summer night several years ago, in my sweet West Marin home. I had just completed a deep and powerful evening of meditation and felt a strong desire to be out in nature, under the full moon. 

I hiked up the hill near my house and was struck by the most gorgeous, brilliant full moon! Its radiance filled my heart and soul with magic and inspiration. A Mercedes Sosa song celebrating the full moon beamed powerfully into my mind. I barely knew it and hadn't thought about it for years, but there it was. It arrived with a clear calling to learn and sing it. At that point, I just knew one line of it, so kept singing that line over and over again to the moon, creating other parts around it.

I went home, pulled up the lyrics, figured out some chords and created a rendition of it, very different from the original, but one that rang true to what I had heard and felt from the moon that night.

I started to share it in sacred circles and retreats and it became a favorite to sing and play with my sisters Lauren Arrow and Ila Cantor Santiago. (Such sweet memories! 💕)

Today, on the full moon, I am delighted to release "La Luna Llena," featuring Lauren Arrow on vocals and Ari Langer on violin.
I hope it brings you joy and inspiration!

Loving Kindness Meditation - Guided Meditations for a Peaceful Mind and Open Heart

Love is the Medicine

Love Is The Medicine

As those who know me know, I have a tremendous amount of reverence for the sacred plants of this earth and the myriad ways they support humanity's health, healing and awakening. In particular, the master teacher plants are incredible keys to transformation, illumnination and Divine Love... In a flash of awe and gratitude, this song came forth, in the early hours of the morning as I sat by the fire in contemplation.

I hope you listen, enjoy and share!

Sacred Plants

This meditation track is designed to be deeply calming, bringing you back into your breath, body and heart center. I sing a traditional Tibetan Buddhist chant to Green Tara. She is known as the "Mother of all Buddhas," who alleviates suffering in her boundless compassion and wisdom.

Much gratitude for Mary Isis's beautiful back-up vocals and Shannon Hayden's stunning cello.
