Weightless

Ecstatic Dance Wave played for the Asheville Movement Collective on July 4, 2021 

~Interdependance~

Independent though I may think…
Without you, I cease to be. 
This dance we do calls forth our knowing
That in moving together 
We are growing and flowing
And only by sharing our radical selves
Do we realize that we depend 
On everyone else
For my heart needs yours,
To know what its made of
Independent in mind, 
Interdependent in love <3

did you catch a song upon the wind
or carve it from the stone
did you hear it coming o’er the mountain
or read its scripted bones

did you feel from the forgotten place
the space between your toes
did you taste the color of its melody
dance rhythm’s prose

did it come to you like lightning would
or slowly through the veil
did its sonnet climb right out your throat
from the darkness it escaped

did it take you on a journey through
the faces of your past
did the memories last long enough
to turn phrase from their grasp

did it chase you in your dream time
cast its burden on your chest
did it wake you ‘neath the moon light
did it even let you rest

did it startle you by telling truth
you sworn silence til your death
did you let it have its way with you
this music on your breath


how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song come
how did the song
how did the song
how did the song

How Did The Song

Neo-tribal healing song for our dear friend Jamie :)

Jamie Angelic Healing Magic

I’ve been holding on to something that isn’t real
couldn’t be lost, couldn’t be found
i’ve been wondering how long i could bear to feel
stuck in the sound, between the sky and the ground
hovering in suspension
i disappear
everything i’ve come to know
surrendered
and offered to the records 
of remembering

this longing is such a crucible
of wandering among the half dead and half hearted
I don’t have much more to give and truth be told 
i’m not sure that I ever did

but in the spark i saw the art of a memory
making its way down the halls of my darkest dreams
there were portraits on the walls of the lovers i had lost
in the fires of a dawning that couldn’t come soon enough

and maybe i had it wrong, the pictures in my mind
so many shapes and so many faces
every time i chase the song, what do i find
pleasures untasted, moments i wasted
wandering the realms of regret
you disappear
and everything we came to be
to one another’s
been broken by a hunger
and a thundering

this longing is such a crucible
of wandering among the half dead and half hearted
I don’t have much more to give and truth be told 
i’m not sure that I ever did

but in the spark i saw the art of a melody
making its way down the trail of my sweetest dreams
there were poems in the flowers in the shimmering night light was
moving to the muses there was only us and you of course the
picture of an angel who’s soul was on fire with 
the love that id been aching for all the while, all the while
the edges of my heart beat beat beat against the walls 
of a mind that was shattering, shattering, shattering

death don’t you come, i’m having way too much fun
death don’t you come, i’m having way too much fun
death don’t you come don’t you come don’t you dare come death
strike me a bargain 
I'm one of your own kind
oh death so kind of you 
oh death it was so kind of you to come
oh death so kind of you 
oh death it was so kind of you to come

Crucible

you told me everything I longed to hear
you brought the sky down 
that I might feel her constellations
the wild winds were moving, ecstatic visions came
mystic phrases revealing every inch of her temptation

you showed me a dream that I’d long forgot
a garden so rare, her flowers restored my innocence
for a moment it seemed our souls were being brought
together to give form to the ones who lives were to be born from our love 
  
and I was only human  
I could not resist
I was only human   
longing for bliss 
just a hot blooded woman
what am I to do
a part of me still waits for you
in that garden under the moon

once I was a believer in stories of great love
designs of a feverish light on eyes of giants
where ancient flames were rising, fashioned as twins
well babe I’ve had soul mate or two
but damn I thought you might be it

and I was only human
I could not resist
I was only human
longing for bliss
just a hot blooded woman
what am I to do
a part of me still waits for you
in that garden under the moon 

holy wild revive me
all of this emotion and writhing beauty
prophecies unbind me I can only keep
a secret for so long

and I was only human
I could not resist
I was only human
longing for bliss
just a hot blooded woman
what am I to do
a part of me still waits for you
under the moon

Only Human

how'd you get so far under my skin
i can feel you there listening
i can hear you lingering in my riddles of love
oh babe, its been years and years 
since i started writing this song
so if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
if you stay with me longer than tonight
ill just write and write and write


i’ve been writing love poems to the stars
trying to spell, spell out my heart
never dream id hear them respond
oh but babe when you looked at me last night so fondly
I swear i could hear 
the song of a thousand lifetimes of fears
fall away to the fires i saw burning in your eyes
oh how long I've been chasing that sight


how'd you come to feel so much like home
like the place I've tried to find on my own
like the love I’ve been after with all these words
like the sound of the song in my heart 
I know in my heart that you heard
and if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
but if you'd stay with me longer than tonight
there's no telling what we could write

and if your passing through
id say it wasn’t really about you
if you'd stay with me longer than tonight
oh baby what could we write

Under My Skin

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

i miss the long nights
where we’d dream right through each others devastation
miss the prayers we'd say, to bear the wieght of all this crazy making
miss the blissful shaking heartfelt stake we’d claim for making
love until the dawn

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

I miss the silk-ness in your voice
whispering through dissenting choices
miss the curious way you’d say my name
on windless flames and
seeing through the architecture’s
bold conjecture, sometimes less is more
when making out like bandits in the goldmine
of songs before time

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

for life how you breathe into me
sing of this mystery through
my listening feeling taking
over every moment
waiting for your next move
swell pushing comes rushing to
crash over everything
and leave me weightless

Among the stars….

HEART BEAT / (by Inner Forest feat. Wahkeena Sitka)

All We Have Is Now

  'TRANSITION" is traditional Tibetan Buddhist prayers and mantras, mixed with modern electronic music production, specifically intended to support beings through the time of dying.  
 For 1,000's of years, the unbroken Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, has recognized the importance of the moment of death.   A pivotal doorway, that can bring inconceivable benefit to the deathless, eternal, aspect of consciousness. 
 The tracks are beautiful, peaceful, inspiring, illuminating.  Also supportive for the 'transitions' we all go through within this lifetime.   Good for meditation, yoga, babies, lullabies, everyone... and even played on repeat, emanating positive energy, like a prayer wheel spinning sound.      
      Within these uncertain times, it is said, is also the potential for great spiritual awakening.  Through the medium of music, an ancient technology of vibrational medicine, we can directly influence consciousness in positive ways.  Through the vastness of the world wide web, we have a miraculous ability, to infinitely replicate these sounds, and reach innumerable beings.

About Feminine Medicine™
The Feminine Medicine™ project is a series of collaborative albums and stage shows I launched in 2015. Every song on the album is a collaboration between me and another female artist. 

I set out to bring music to the dance floor that showcases the "feminine" aspect through many expressions and faces of the feminine. The music expresses a harmony of both masculine and feminine frequencies that is both danceable and sacred co-created with some of my favorite female artists. I believe this music shows how "feminine" melodic textures and vocals can integrate with traditionally "masculine" bass frequencies to create songs that are harmonically transcendent of any existing genre.   

I have been writing, producing and performing the Feminine Medicine™ music for the last 5 years, collaborating with over 30 female musicians, vocalists, and dancers to showcase stage shows at major festivals including Lucidity Festival, Beloved Festival, and Enchanted Forest Festival. 

Artists showcased on Feminine Medicine™ music so far include: 
Heather Christie, Imagika Om, Liquid Love Drops, Ixchel Prisma, Eden Amadora, Amma Li Grace of Entheo, Tara Divina. 

Volume 1 was released Feb 2017. A remix album was released in 2018 featuring remixes from Govinda, Living Light, Luke Mandala, Ra So, Spoken Bird, Wu Wei, Joe Muscatello, and Pattern Disrupt.

Thanks as always for listening!

"In the space between art and persona there is magic.  Marya Stark lives there. Drawing from influences as diverse as Classical, Broadway, Indie-Pop, Storytelling and Folk, Marya crafts a sound that is wholly original. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media enchantress, she creates the way she breathes; without choice or hesitation. She is a carrier of myth, mystery, and medicine songs with which she embarks to create a ceremony of the human condition, taking her audience on lucid journey's through the caverns of the soul. An award winning songwriter and soaring soprano, she is a mentor in the art of voice and archetypal embodiment. She is mused by kindness, nuance, synchronicity and soul remembrance, and is a life-long chaser waterfalls."
