The Apukuna Breath Medicine series of mixes is a gift in support of personal healing, transformation and growth. As one of my teachers reminds - we come to earth with a carefully constructed "care package" known as our breath. [Full series playlist: https://soundcloud.com/apukuna/sets/apukuna-breath-medicine]

Our breath is the most readily accessible medicine available to us. There are many ways to work with our breath and this series is in support of your practice. These particular breath medicine journeys are inspired by my own practice that is most similar to Holotropic Breathwork. For me, the breathing is deeper, a little faster, only through the mouth and only through the chest. Many others can find great benefit through the nose or using the belly. Best advice... experiment and listen to your body. With love from the mountains. @apukuna

[mix002] - This 75-minute journey was recorded in December 2021. The journey includes Native American musicians R. Carlos Nakai (Navajo / Ute), Primeaux & Mike (Oglalla/Dakota (Yankton) Sioux and Ponca & Dine Navajo) and Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan, Haudenosaunee). As this breathwork journey was coming together, Joanne Shenanodah breathed her last breath in this life on November 22, 2021. Prayers to Joanne on her journey into ancestorhood. Also included in this mix is a favorite for breathwork - Deya Dova’s Ancient Creation Mother - recorded on the edge of Kīlauea volcano crater on Hawai’i’s Big Island.

APUKUNA - Breath Medicine 002

A mix made for a Psilocybin Ceremony in July 2022 with friends. Deeply honoured to be asked to create the soundscape for the journey.

Temple Step - Psilocybin Ceremony DJ Mix, July 2022

I couldn't have imagined a more dreamy European Apukuna debut than this night here! A few hundred beautiful beings welcomed in the evening and became a part of my dream. The night offered some valuable wisdom on just how DEEP a dancefloor can go when the people who show up are holding the space with abounding hearts, clear intentions, and immense impeccability. For more than half of the two-hour set, the radical love dancers held their attention and focus into the center of the dancefloor. Everyone became a facilitator. This was Radical Love at its finest. And with that focus, something deep was generated in the middle. Pure magic! Offered to you as a meditation, a movement, and a prayer for an awakening heart.  - @Apukuna

Earth Portal

Welcoming Spring Ecstatic Dance@Yoga Barn.Bali

"The intention of this set is to create a sonic journey inspired by the ancestral chants of the Amazon rainforests and the sacred mountains of the Andes. Each melody and vibration is designed to guide us through a soundscape filled with serenity and light. The chants, often resonating as ancient prayers, intertwine with the whispers of nature, evoking a deep space of introspection and healing.

The music flows gently, inviting the mind and body to release tension and immerse into a state of deep peace. The sounds of drums and flutes blend with the soft, powerful voices of the chants, creating an atmosphere perfect for meditation and inner stillness. Every note is crafted to take us beyond the noise of everyday life, transporting us into a state of full awareness, where the inner light can shine clearly.

This is a journey within, a spiritual connection experience that reminds us of our roots and invites us to open our hearts to peace and ancestral wisdom."

Much Love 💚 🌿

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."
