This is my first original, solo produced song I've released. 

This track is available to purchase as an NFT on OpenSea for anyone who wants to own my very first fully self-produced musical creation. LINK TO THE RIGHT.

The song was born in an improphetical song ceremony in 2014 with my OneDoorLand community in Portland, OR.  Since then I have carried it and sung it around many fires and many circles, and countless bodies of water, with the prayer that we finally recognize the importance of clean, fresh water for all beings on earth and that ultimately, we are all the same, all one, all "drawn from the same well," the same source. May we remember and act accordingly. We are not separate and water holds the key to our remembrance.

Huge gratitude to all my teachers along the way, especially Krikor Andonian, aka, KR3TURE, and Ben Harris, aka Yemanjo, for setting me on the right path with the best tools.

Credit on lyrics goes to Heather Beckett who channeled many of the words.

Track mastered by Momentology.

If you like the track and don't want to own the very first, highly desirable and valuable NFT, you can purchase the regular track on Bandcamp. Please also consider donating to my Patreon at https://patreon.com/dancemedicine so I can continue to devoting time and energy to my creative pursuits. I am working with the "lite" version of Ableton and would love to have more than 8 tracks to play with. That being said, this is what I can do with only 8 tracks. Just imagine the music I can create with more. ;)

Thank You Water (Original Track)

ECSTATIC DANCE INSPIRED BY INDIA 2023

Played at Asheville Movement Collective on Sunday April 30th, 2023

I wrote a poem for this ecstatic dance set as its intention.

Lion's Mane

Wild wind blown and untamed 
This Mane bares scars 
Marking resilience
Brutal courage
And lingering pain

To all the lions 
And lionesses out there
Still marking their terrain,
The Sun of the Earth
Shines upon your Mane

Lion's Mane {Ecstatic Dance Set by MIKAYA}

Cause to occur. Fire. Kiyah is the calling of one’s purpose that fuels their actions. One of our greatest powers as humans is to alter, instigate change, cause to occur, make things happen, and create. 

Kiyah is you in action from your purest self. It is the other two fire elements, Ziassou and Nikkah, in action. Actions driven by Kiyah will bring great fruits. What fuels your actions?

Kiyah - Chris Berry & Shaman’s Dream

Self sovereignty. Fire. Each of us is a blossom perfumed with the scent of creator, the gift of free choice. No one can take that from us without our cooperation/surrender. 

An individual’s conscious claim of self-sovereignty is a potent form of protection. There are many resonant allies who value free choice and who will sing behind a person’s song of self-sovereignty.

- Lyrics - 

i'll step into this mission with no fear and no regrets,
i'm changing my position and nothing holds me back,
i will rise up to the hill, to the unknown,
it's so profound, but before i've got to know the woods,
to be one with the ground,

examinating life, out of my corner,
unconvetional, it's my disorder,

when i step into this forest. there's no place to compromise,
when i step into this forest, no proportion, big or small,
i'm a midget or a giant in a land that have it all,
invisioble kingdom, reflecting pure wisdom,
a storm of all colors with no king and no victiom,

when the light is dissapearing,
and darkness shows it's face,
i hold my inner spirit,
i sit, i say my grace,

releasing,
i'm releasing it all,
im  releasing.
i'm releasing it all,


dancing leaf, between acception and believe,
dancing leaf, what am i trying to achieve?

no need to cut the fence i'm passing through the gate,
non dem can stop me. i run and cannot wait,
to be high, in the sky, in a dome
i&i,

life and death together,
face to face forever.

Ambient Mixtape

Utooto - Ichizoku - 01 Ichizoku

Standing upon the shorelines of the inner world, where deep awareness gently laps against the soft sands of the mind, you are invited to step into the tranquilizing waters of Liquid Bloom’s ‘ReGen Ambient Meditations.’  A guided journey through the ebbing and flowing expanse of personal consciousness, these spoken meditations from Amani Friend’s global vanguard of sonic mystics and vocalists explore the ephemeral boundaries between mindfulness and the oceanic currents of the meditative state. Transported through ten serene landscapes by the voices of Darpan, Deya Dova, Porangui, Ashley Klein, Darma Friend, Isabel Friend, Ixchel Prisma, Rara Avis, Azriel Ferro, Avatara, and Allisunshine, listeners become participants as soothing words and holographic sounds converge to coax the petals of consciousness open, exposing us to the infinite space within.
