Woven Songs Of The Amazon II: A Ceremony Of Healing With The Shipibo Shamans

Icaro For Cleansing The Mind & Body (feat. Herlinda Agustin Fernandez)

✨ Radhe Radhe Govinda...Radhe Radhe Gopala ✨ 

Radhe Radhe Govinda translates to love without expecting anything in return. Only the one who knows how to love unconditionally can teach it. Radha is pure compassion, unconditional love in its perfection.

"True Prayer" is a truly rare and powerful spiri-musical offering. How many other psychedelic folk albums are the product of seven years of deep shamanic initiation, spiritual pilgrimage, and total immersion in ceremonial living? The answer surely is "very few"... but now there is one at least: this LP, the debut album of New York based Alan Scheurman under the moniker Santiparro.

Santiparro means "the lens that sees many things not usually seen." It is a name that was given to Alan Scheurman in 2010 during a pilgrimage with a Wixatari (Huichol) family to Wirikuta - the sacred desert where Peyote originates.

Scheurman grew up in the Detroit indie music scene and moved to Brooklyn following a spiritual awakening in 2007. There, he contributed to the founding of an intentional community and educational center called the Golden Drum under the guidance of shaman and spiritual teacher Maestro Manuel Rufino. Scheurman spent the next seven years centering himself in shamanic rites and initiation making frequent pilgrimages to visit and study with elders in North, Central and South America.

The songs that form "True Prayer" bubbled up after deep dives into the Spirit World, they were gathered from the outer reaches of our ever expanding collective consciousness. And although sojourns into the shamanic realms are intense in nature, the music collected here does not overpower. "True Prayer" is accessible and fertile, sincere and extraordinary pop & folk music – sparkling with the light of Wisdom.

The album is blessed with guest contributions from Will Oldham (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy), Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio), Adam Wills (Bear In Heaven), Melati Malay (Young Magic) and Ben Bromley (NewVillager). "True Prayer" is an emergent work, ancient teachings and timeless visions, transmitted through the artistry of a modern man.

Pray Awake

This song is about healing, surrender and sourcing your own Inner Power. The Almighty One is You, your True Self. Life is a journey with its challenges, joys, ups, downs and wild turns it can take. To Live and experience life fully we feel deeply- all of it. How we heal our wounds and the wounds of humanity, by piercing through illusions of ego and transforming the painful feelings into fertile compost to create our reality is truly an art.

All Music, Production and Lyrics by Mary Isis:

Peeling back the Layers of Time
Revealing all the Shadows of Humankind
The illusions of separation of Body, Soul and Mind.
The Struggle for the Power...Oh the Power that dwells inside.

Inside of my heart...Inside of my soul
There is a bridge to the Almighty One
When I fell apart...I become Whole
Surrendering to the Almighty One
The veils are thinning...no longer can be hidden ot forbidden the truth of the soul

Eternal, Immortal and Free
Releasing all fears to the fires, to the Great Mystery
Healing...singing for the healing, heart wide open, releasing the tears of thousands of years of silent suffering
Feeling...the full range of being. Eyes wide open to seeing beyond You and Me, beyond this duality.

Inside of my heart...Inside of my soul
There is a bridge to the Almighty One
When I fell apart...I become Whole
Surrendering to the Almighty One

Tap into the Presence, the Power Inside
Open your Channel, let Light flow inside
Tap into your Essense, Your Power Divine
Open your Heart up, Let Love be your Guide
Tap into the Presence, the Power Inside
Open your Channel, let Light flow inside
Tap into your Essense, Your Power Divine
Open your Heart up, There's no need to hide
Shine on with the start, the moon and sun
Shine on with the Force of pure Life creation
Shine on in Remembrance of this reunion
Giving Praise to the Source, to the Almighty One.

Almighty One

Wave of the Heart

I recorded this song on a full moon and lunar eclipse, February 10th, 2017. Feeling the lunar pull so deeply, i feel the moon pulled this song out of me while I also desired to create a song in honor of Our Beautiful and Sacred Moon~ Mahalo i ka Mahina! Gratitude to the Moon! For all of the lunar transmissions, for all the phases we go through together, for our deep cosmic connection....
I incorporated the Vedic Mantra for the Moon:
Om Sran Srim Sraum Sah Chandraya Namaha.
This is very powerful balancing mantra for the mind and emotions, and when recited with pure devotion it works to harmonize.
 I hope you enjoy!  and I pray that this song awakens and strengthens the deep inherent lunar love connection within all who listen. Feel free to Share! 
Music, Arrangement, lyrics and recording my Mary Isis
my words: 
Here upon the Earth 
WE are Children of Light
In your Luminous Love 
We are Purified

Seeking Balance in our Bodies
In our Heart and Mind
Finding Peace in the Stillness of your Holy Light

Full Moon we feel your pull like the Ocean Tide
and like you we have our phases in our cycle of life
Full Moon we feel your pull like the Ocean Tide
and like you we have our phases in our cycle of life

Oh Luminous One!
Shine on us, reflecting the light of the Sun- Source of Life 
We bow down to your beauty and grace
so blessed to behold you in this infinite Space.

Luminous One

Golden Age

Alan Scheurman began making music as Santiparro in 2010 after a Wixarika elder gave him the name on a pilgrimage to collect peyote. Translated as “a lens that sees many things not usually seen” but aware it also signifies “magnifying glass,” Scheurman is certain it was given to indicate he was the gringo with big glasses, not some special seer. His first EP of bedroom recordings, Get Well Soon, on FM Dust, was influenced by his early experiences  in peyote and ayahuasca ceremonies. After its release, Scheurman relocated from Detroit to Brooklyn. In 2015, Gnome Life released Santiparro's self-produced True Prayer LP, featuring contributions by Will Oldham, Kyp Malone, and others. He later moved to Joshua Tree, occasionally touring in intimate settings. Spending 3 months each year in the Peruvian Amazon studying within the Shipibo tradition, he wrote the majority of 2018’s The Talon - exploring new territory with the help of producer J Ashley Miller. That year Scheurman became a father and releasing new music took a back seat, though a few singles would follow. In 2020, he released Shadow Dancer before organizing a series of pandemic fundraising concerts for Amazonians. Later he’d release a cover of Magic Wand by Little Wings for a Gnome Life cassette. In 2023, he put out a cover of Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s Squid Eye and returns in 2024 with Everywhere You Ever Were —  a reflection on the work that came out of a decade of study with the Shipibo and feels like a return to form.
