Recorded live at Sacred Sound Studios in Florestral Community, in the heart of the forest of Costa Rica.
Before we began construction of the rooms of the studio, we held several events in the incredible and giant empty dome. The acoustics in the dome were like no other in the world, giving us a unique chance to record with the natural amplification and reverberation.

Condor Record’s Dreamscape project is the first in a number of collaborations between Michael Folkert and Sixto Gonzales, a native Ecuadorian specializing in the traditional sounds of South American guitar and pan flutes. The album was recorded in the Andes Mountains in Ecuador and “Mystic Rain” is the culminating track that wraps up Dreamscape’s mystic South American journey. “Mystic Rain” is a dreamy mix of flutes, guitars and percussion that was inspired by an afternoon walk the through a mountain region in Ecuador. 
“Moving through the forest everything was so crisp and clear - the rain, the rushing streams, a Condor flying overhead, the lush vegetation, the smell of a campfire in the distance. In that moment I was surrounded by the music of Mystic Rain.” - Michael Folkert

Scarborough Faire is an amazing song. Such a wonderful melody and lyric that tells of all of the impossible tasks a human woman would need to achieve to be with a man from Elfland.

But I began to wonder…

These wonderful folk songs have been left us by anonymous writers from years ago and have been sung ever since. But is there another story behind Scarborough Faire? What about that songwriter from years ago? What inspired them to write such a song?

So I thought I would tell that story. Hope you like it!

Iron from Stone
Verse 1
As I rode out one morning,
Just as the day was dawning,
I gave my usual greeting to the Sun.
To seek my inspiration
I knew my destination
A standing stone down where the river runs.
Seeing no one else in sight
I sat down to write
But I was not alone
The Sun a little colder
A hand upon my shoulder
A shadow fell across the ancient stone.

Verse 2
He asked what I was writing
It sounded so inviting
I said I just tell stories with song.
The melody compelling
Said he had a tale worth telling
And promised that it wouldn’t take too long
He never would forget
How his true love he met
At a county faire
Of land by the sea
A Cambric shirt with no seams
And of a life that they would never share.

Verse 3
He thought they’d be together
To live their lives forever
But realised that he would soon be gone
Behind doors that were closing
From the will we were imposing
On the land we depend upon.
Their story will be sung
For many years to come
But we reap what we have sown
Two broken hearts
Two worlds torn apart
From the day we made iron from stone.

Affirmations are one tried and tested way we can reprogramme our conscious and unconscious minds with new ideas and possibilities. Affirmations can raise the level of our thinking which in turn increases our overall vibration and ability to hold and radiate more light.  

"It is time, now, to awaken, time to step out. Now. I am light. Starseed I am, Star-child I am, star light I am, a seed from the stars, I am here to serve the earth, to serve in this time of global awakening, in this year 2018 the year of the butterfly. At this time the light is ascending. I am ascending as the light descends into my body and energy fields. My physical, emotional and mental bodies are enlivened with light......"

Affirmations: Starseeds Awaken! This is the Year (2018) of the Butterfly

SARESASA

In this time of ascension it is more important than ever to connect with your Soul Tribe. These are beings that are both incarnate and in Spirit. These are the beings that resonate with your core energy and your Soul Purpose. These are members of the same “Spirit Family” as you and all members share an intensely strong bond with that transcends time and space itself. When you meet one of your Soul tribe, intuitively, it feels like you share the same 'frequency' because of the deep harmony felt between all members of the group. Your Soul Tribe are here to support, encourage and sometime appropriately challenge you to keep you in alignment with your promise before this lifetime to awaken and then serve in the awakening of other beings. 

In this meditation you will call one being that is incarnate and then one that is in Spirit. With your Higher Self you will be invited to clear any limiting entanglements and agreements or promises from any lifetime. Then you will be invited to allow a higher frequency of light and love to connect you. Finally, we call all beings who are incarnate or in Spirit that are part of your Soul Tribe. Again, you will be invited to clear anything in the way and then connect with all these beings at a higher level of light, love and consciousness.
