Jon David (aka Apukuna)creates musical journeys from deep within the mountains. Inspired by the beating hearts of the mystical music makers of mother earth...
thats what we feel and we feel so blessed to be able to share this attitude on 'Echoes'.  Thank you APUKUNA!

Open Into Flame
 is a meditation, a prayer and a dance for personal and collective transformation. For the past month, I have been immersed in smoke from fires burning in the mountains to surrounding my home and from the hundreds of others burning nearby here in the Pacific Northwest of Canada/USA. The burning of entire towns, homes and livelihoods has moved me into tears and into deep reflection. What is our Earth Mother asking of us in this time? This music was chosen to tell the story of my own journey into this question. It's an invitation to open into your own flame and to support releasing, transforming and welcoming new beginnings. As Bība shares so eloquently in this mix, “It’s time for a change of skin. This shedding is underway. Snake shows us that this shedding is by fire. The skin burning away is a skin full of injustices, anger and violence. [The fire] is symbolic of moving away from the old ways and making way for the new. In these flames, our anger can now be seen, our shadow revealed by the glowing light. And in this fire now, it’s time to heal. At this time of great shedding, an energy channel is open- a line of light. This line of light is our lineage. Our path to awakening. This energy is open to all beings on earth to come into alignment with the unfolding mystery of our individual and collective evolution.” 
With love - Jon (Apukuna)

Ecstatic Morning Dance ॐ Live @ Rise Up Gathering Switzerland, July 2022

The day began in the garden
Medicine songs
Movement
Food under blue summer Swiss Skies

Johanna the host of Ecstatic Dance Zurich created a day of celebration and it was set in a beautiful church in the heart of Zurich. We sang, we danced, we ate, we laughed, we cried, we loved.

What a special day and dance with our parts.

**((lA iGlesiA: zUrIcH))**

💎 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. 💎
― Arundhati Roy

💎The Next Buddha will be a Sangha 💎 – Thich Nhat Hanh

Recorded in the summer of 2022, in one of the most lush and soulful (private)settings I've had the honor and pleasure of playing music at...a true Medicine Temple of Sacred Sensuality, innocent Eros, humans-like-dolphins, swimming into unity, mycelium magically rooting us into collective-intelligence, collective-evolution, collective-play...

It was exquisite to serve this space with the power of intentional M U S I C (I got to play some tracks that have been waiting to play for years):  a true Medicine Temple of Human Hearts 💎

The taste of New Earth Nectar that was dripping in this space was sweeter than sweet:  it's medicine is still working it's magik, the portal is still opening and deepening each time I listen to this mix and remember this portal...We are the Medicine 💎

Enjoy the 3,5 hour journey of sonic sound:  feel free to download and share...

I support independent artists by always purchasing the music I use in my musical-mixes:  you can support my artistry (see Kofi link here:  https://ko-fi.com/alma8omega) so I can continue to support the artistry of others....

no matter what, VIVA MUSICA, VIVA BAILAR, VIVA FAMILIA 💎

Andi Rietschel

in 1950  the german Erika Engel wrote christmas joy
a peaceful christmas song


If the lights are lit, joy moves into every room.
Christmas joy is proclaimed under every tree of lights.
Shine, light, with bright glow,
everywhere, everywhere shall be joy.

Sweet things, beautiful gifts now go from hand to hand.
Every child shall have joy, every child in every land.
Shine, light, with bright shine!
Everywhere, everywhere shall be joy.

When the lights are lit, every room is illuminated.
Christmas peace is proclaimed, goes out into all the world.
Shine, light, with a bright glow!
Everywhere, everywhere shall be peace.

_______________________

Sind die Lichter angezündet, Freude zieht in jeden Raum.
Weihnachtsfreude wird verkündet unter jedem Lichterbaum.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein,
überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Süße Dinge, schöne Gaben gehen nun von Hand zu Hand.
jedes Kind soll Freude haben, jedes Kind in jedem Land.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein!
Überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Sind die Lichter angezündet, rings ist jeder Raum erhellt.
Weihnnchtsfriede wird verkündet, zieht hinaus in alle Welt.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein!
Überall, überall soll Friede sein.

MIX: Apukuna - Ecstatic Activation

One of my favorite aspects of ecstatic dance is the organic and melodic pieces.

So I played a journey with mostly organic and melodic music, and just a few selected electronic songs.

I wasn't sure how the people were going to respond, since they are so used to electronic music at ecstatic dance, but they really loved it.

This set is dedicated to Ofir Magico and to the 3rd birthday of his wonderful "Sharing the Vibe" FB group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/498869587722376

I'm grateful to these DJs who inspired me with the organic music they weave into their journeys:

Kareem Raïhani, Martyn Zij, Frans Iradi, Shanto IJzendoorn, Caroline S'Jegers, Esta Polyesta (who encouraged me to weave this set when I was unsure), Tom Goldhand, Lotus Imane (that tribal samba track in the pyramid years ago!)  and many others along the years. 

Deep gratitude to these amazing musicians :

Don Juan Mezcal - Ecstatic Beltane Dance @ Vitality Base Vienna 2023

@roxyboomba

"They spent their time like this. In total dissolution of their human density. They were wordless, formless... How they prayed, what they felt, the places they reached -- I could not tell you. It was between them and the stars. Inside, the fire burned slowly, but it burned for days. Mint tea steeped on the rocks. The smell of Frankincense filled the air. On the walls of the canvas, two shadows, then one, two, one.... and for eternity."

Roxy Moon - Swoon on the Nile (BMG 001 - DJ Set)

Considered one of the pioneers of electronic organic music, Intiche‘s journey, he claims, started even before travelling from Argentina to Berlin for the first time in 1999. Indeed, the celebrated DJ and producer proclaims his “passion for music began some past lives before this one”. Nevertheless, it’s in the last twenty years of this life that the downtempo DJ has made considerable impact.

From an acoustic starting point, Intiche’s compositions find inspiration in Pachamama (“Mother Earth”) and earthy frequencies. Using traditional instruments, native to Latin America, Intiche’s trance-like productions deftly traverse history, weaving links between ancient indigenous cultures and modern club culture. Intiche’s music intends to “touch the soul” as much as make people dance and, accordingly, you’re just as likely to find him playing at Berlin’s Berghain or Beate Uwe as at ceremonies, yoga festivals, healing gatherings and “Ecstatic Dances” around the world. We’re grateful to have Intiche drop in for a Con Alma Mixtape.
by Joe Osborne

“A Mixtape in an Ecstatic Dance. Two Waves flow for Sound & Colours, on a mixtape made between full moon and new moon in early November ’20. These are mostly original songs – some of them unreleased – that have the intention of making you feel good and keeping the motivation high. Uplifting melodies and rhythmic percussions to dance pump up the frequencies and the booties. It is a mixtape for listening in nature or whatever you are in this moment now – doing training, yoga, meditation…or just listening while traveling, chilling, or in a lockdown situation. This is for listening to while enjoying nature and respecting it – under shooting stars and clear skies; orange, red, yellow sunsets and golden sunrises; inside the green old rainforests; above the clouds on the massive mountains, powdered in beautiful white snow; swimming, diving or barreling in the beautiful blue oceans or lakes… Music can serves as a bridge to connect deeply to the source, with lots of playfulness through the magic of frequencies and vibrations. Much love and peace.”
