This is my personal interpretation and adaption of a powerful song to honour Mother Earth. When we walk and dance, we feel Mother Earth under our feet. We drum on her like a large drum and are able to feel her heartbeat from there. 

It symbolizes that our own heartbeat and the one of Mother Earth are one.

I performed this song during the opening of The Morning Breakfast in Amsterdam, on the most beautiful final day of summer, 20 September 2020. The Morning is a breakfast gathering that celebrates human connection & mindful eating

The Spanish adaptation I made especially for this edition of The Morning: The Future of Farming. It was held at outside the farm, where Andres Jara, an Amsterdam-based farmer of Colombian origin, educated the guests on permaculture and biodynamic farming. 

Everything came together on this Morning. Our connection to mother Earth was celebrated in a deep, fun, loving and meaningful way.

Chef & founder of The Morning, Edwin Sander: "Food connects us to the land, it connects us to other humans, to life, because if we don't eat we die. It connects us with our identity, with rituals, with culture and nature. It connects us to everything around us. Yet, when we put it inside of us, it becomes us." 

During the opening ceremony of this Morning I was able to guide the guests into a few rituals, under which a grounding meditation and conscious movement. I read them a poem about the voice of Mother Earth and I performed this song. 

All of this to feel connected to nature and everything around us, bring calmness of mind, open our hearts, and from there, enjoy a nourishing three-course breakfast together. 

All the individual instruments and backings vocals were played, sang and recorded by myself. I am happy to hear what this song does to you. 

Much love,
Chantalle
