about

hebrew goddess chant. lush world beats. blessed vocal caress.
the root and vision of my priestess dreams.

three years ago on the Jewish new year, a tornado came to me as I slept in my geodesic dome. a huge healthy tree offered herself up for me. the tornado uprooted and dropped the tree directly onto the dome. trapped beneath dome and tree, I had no idea if I would live. the frame drum I prayed with earlier that day created a stop-gap through which I could breathe. with the gift of that air, I sung to the divine mother.

my aliveness is a miracle. this music is an offering I wasn't sure I would be able to make. from the abounding grace I have received, I offer this music to you, with gratitude, with praise and with a prayer that you let love and bliss permeate this life that has been given to you.

i kiss earth and sky for my stellar engineer and co-producer arik labowitz; for exquisite collaborators surya prakasha, yael illah, jen myzel, rakia shemaya, isa nessim and hope medford; for mastering by ryan kleeman / overlap studios; for design by navyo ericsen and for cover image by pan trinity das.

i sing sweet praises for co-visioners ibrahim baba, indigo bacal, jill hammer, joti shephi, rae abileah, shoshana jedwab, sunshine muse and the kohenet hebrew priestess and makam shekhina tribes; for dad; for mom; and for the deepest love of ade odara.

this bliss exists because so many of you responded Yes, Make More Music and donated generously.

the cover of this bliss is an homage Anandamai Ma, the bliss-permeated mother.

this bliss is in gratitude for my healer, guide and protectress familiar, Sarah.
