Music for Ceremony

There are still places in the world where plants are considered teachers and healers. Places where people have direct communication with the spirit world. Places where there is a recognition and a deeply felt sense that there is no separation, that we are all interconnected.

If you travel to visit indigenous elders in any jungle, mountain, plain, or desert in this world, you will hear a common refrain:

“We are all related.”

To transcend a world of separation and ego, we need to consistently cultivate the stillness in ourselves. Only from that place can we deeply listen.

Through the stillness, we can find ourselves in everything and everything in ourselves.

This is the message of Metsa’s music.

You have heard me speak of ceremony and sacred medicine. And it brings me joy to share this music with you. Metsa is a friend. He is masterful in this ancient healing art. And It is one of my life’s blessings to collaborate with him and his wife Kelly. Together we are part of a small cohort of spiritual teachers, medicine people and facilitators committing all of our skill and heart to finding a deeper way of being together.

This is the music that shapes my journey.

Tune in. You will have a sense of what I mean.

I periodically gather groups to sit with Metsa in this most potent of ways. Go ahead and send me an e-mail if you think you’d like to join us. I’ll be glad to answer your questions. And to keep you in my invite list.

Pay for this music. Give more than the stated cost. This is an artist and medicine man who is wielding gift and access in order to support the indigenous communities that have shaped him.

I’ll leave you with Tim Ferriss’ endorsement:

I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. This album is a compilation of ceremonial plant medicine songs called ikaros, some of which are traditional and some of which are reinterpretations informed by decades of practice. This artist supports a number of indigenous communities and causes, so I bought the album on Bandcamp, which allows you to donate above the low album price. I gave $100, but you can get the entire album for $9.99. Get a taste of it here. I love all the tracks, but I’m paying closest attention to Urkututu (track #5) at the moment.

Listen with your heart and your soul.
