Ever since I saw jamming to ‘We all come from the Goddess’ on her handpan, realising it was on D Kurd, I tried to play it by ear. While I can’t get the full version of hers, this is my own rendition, and boy have I been playing it every night before bedtime. Thanks Amy for the inspiration.🙏🏻🎶
Today felt like the right time to offer it to the land, to Mother, so I took my handpan along with cacao to sit in her embrace and just play.
I found this spot of track where the rhododendrons have shed a beautiful pink carpet, as if waiting for me to just sit amongst them. So I did.
My heart has been feeling heavy lately, and retreating into nature playing music is my solace. Not escaping but bringing myself into the medicine heals me. The problems doesn’t go away of course; but at least I feel held and witnessed by Pachamama, Father Sky, the birds, the trees, the Spirits of air and water from Ōakura river. Can you hear how cleansing she sounds even though they are a distance away? This is my safe sanctuary, and I can’t wait to share it with those who are coming here for retreats.
Yes, I’ve been silently working on my upcoming retreat in 2028. Details will be announced when the moon is in Libra.
