Who is this school for?


For anyone who (just like us) connected a lot with the music at a sacred medicine ceremony or retreat. Now, you can learn medicine songs so that you can maintain your connection to the energy, insights and inspiration you received during this experience.

It takes years to assemble a repertoire of medicine songs, and often, these songs are only shared from one person to another in intimate spaces.

That is why we built the Medicine Music School — for you to be able to do just that, no matter where you are in the world or where you are in your medicine music journey!

This is the first time that the opportunity to learn directly from experienced medicine musicians, who regularly support ceremonies across Colombia and internationally, is being made available to anyone who feels inspired...

FAQs

FAQs

Medicine Music is the genre of music that is played during sacred medicine ceremonies as well as any other music that aims to harmonize, to share a blessing, to calm, to bring healing and share a message or a prayer. This music has the power to bring us back to the insights we received during our work with the sacred medicines such as Ayahuasca, Psilocybin Mushrooms, San Pedro, Peyote, Sweat Lodge, etc. — as well as to infuse our lives with the energy that it carries. Learning medicine music is a spiritual practice in itself and a beautiful way to cultivate inner growth through art and creative expression.
YES! The songs come with an increasing level of difficulty so that you can start with easier ones and build yourself up to the more complex pieces. If you are an absolute beginner, we recommend starting with our Guitar Initiation Course which will take you from 0 to playing and singing an original medicine song by Govinda Bhajan Maharaj, through four weeks of guitar technique skill-building.
YES! Singing is a skill that everyone can develop. In our Guitar Initiation Course, we take you through four weeks of different voice activation and breathing exercises to help you liberate your voice and gain confidence to share it with others.
The courses are subtitled so that you can still connect with the musicians and understand everything they teach in the videos.
The more, the better. We recommend that you practice at least 30 minutes per day, 4 days per week. If you practice more, you will advance quicker.
We wish that this seed of medicine music grows into a beautiful flower in your heart and that you may cultivate and inspire a lot of beauty in your life and those of other people through this music.
