Arielle, Madhu, and Egemen (Ege) are honored and enlivened to guide you through an alchemical journey of ritualized music, chanting, and embodied movement...
We'll begin by collectively activating the community altar ground from the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, a Peruvian based lineage reflecting our common unity as People of the Sacred Rainbow. This altar is a portal for re-membering the perfect balance of elemental and divine masculine/feminine energy within us.
Here, we offer our prayers for our life as well as the shared dedication that all the energy generated during our time together is for the benefit of all beings to be free from suffering and to experience happiness.
The music we offer weaves together sitar, sacred chants from Peruvian, Tibetan, Hebrew, Sanskrit and other traditions, interwoven with modern and improvisational looping pedal artistry, dope beats, wind instruments, soul-evoking harmonies and melodic vocal jams.
Our Invitation to You: We invite you to deeply receive these soundscapes in stillness and also to dance; to inhabit your body and move as your soul feels guided by the sound and energy in the space.
Bring your favorite cushion, mat and blanket for full comfort.
At the end of our gathering we will formally close the ritual space with the prayer that the planet, the sacred elements, and all beings be benefitted by the container of joy we have created together.

About the Artists: Madhu Anziani is a sound healer, musician, qi gong practitioner, and Pachakuti Mesa carrier who used the power of sound and his voice to heal from tetraplegia (paralysis affecting all four limbs). In 2009, after experiencing a traumatic fall, which shattered two of his neck vertebrae, Madhu used his knowledge of sound, energy (chi), and the healing power of the voice to completely recover from an injury that should have kept him wheelchair-bound for life.
He shares the techniques he used to heal and transform himself. Madhu has a degree in Jazz/World music performance from San Francisco State University and is certified in Sound, Voice, and Music Healing from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Egemen Sanli (Ege) is a modern dervish traveling to find his own voice within world music, carrying the flag of his Turkish roots as a musician. Ege plays the sitar alongside other ethnic instruments (shamisen, saz, hang and handpan drums, banjo, flutes) and is able to bring out the mystic and invigorating qualities of all. He utilizes beats, loops and tanpura machines to compliment his joyful improvisations based on traditional Eastern ragas. Ege lives in San Francisco and performs regularly in the Bay Area, he is also a certified Yoga teacher.
Arielle Brown is an Communal Intimacy Catalyst who uses her voice and melodic expression as a means towards helping humanity reconnect with their essential nature. Devoted to the path of embodiment and collective awakening, Arielle relates with her music as medicine for the collective soul, and is most fulfilled when she weaves improvisational sound alchemy with other musical magicians. Her musical influences range from Rising Appalachia, Ibeyi, Lauryn Hill, and a limitless range of world music rooted in soul. Elegantly riding the waves of emergent sound, Arielle serves as a channel for the divine, an ambassador of Mother Nature, and carries the message that it is time to remember who we are.
