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.
