September, 2017 -
From the Awakening album, ‘Ocean, Carry Me’ was recorded at the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz, CA, and features performances from Naomi Charanpal and
Johanna Beekman, with footage from out in the desert at Joshua Tree and
on the shores of our Pacific Ocean. Feeling blessed to be coming to the
realization that we each, like a river, are flowing in to the sea and
ocean of connectedness with each other, and with a ‘power greater than
ourselves’…
“Hallelujah,” the first video release from the “AWAKENING” album, honors
many of the Paths that we take that lead us home, towards the Divine,
towards God. With lyrics and languages that honor practices including
Buddhism, Christianity, Hindu, and blessed Amma ji, the message is clear
~ it’s all leading to that same, sacred place.
And, blessed to be able to share with you now this video release from
the ‘Awakening’ album – a mix of Krishna Das’ ‘Govinda Hare’ and the
traditional ‘Maha Mantra.’ After recording these kirtan one instrument
and vocal track at a time, it’s hard to describe the blissed-out,
resonant energy happening with these beautiful souls all together at the
Rio Theater last month... Deep, deep bows and gratitude to everyone
there that day, and in the studio this summer, and special thanks
to Greg Gilholm (Director of Photography and Editor) for bringing this
vision to life, and to Krishna Das for bringing this channel to the
Divine to us all. 🙏

AWAKENING has arrived!

Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone tagged below that helped make this album, the videos, and the live gatherings soon to come. Feeling the love, the healing, and little by little, an awakening. I hope that this music finds its way to your ears, and it it’s to be, your heart as well…
