My friends, I am thrilled to share that I will be performing at Medicina Campout in Oregon this summer! 💫
Last year’s Medicina was a personal all time favorite of festival experiences for me. I am honored to be on the lineup this year with such talented artists, DJs, musicians, performers and I am so excited to join this incredible community for a magical weekend full of authentic connection, play, dance, nourishment, and earth-rooted prayer.
This is a private microfestival event, to apply to be there you can visit /medicina-campout. 🙏

Sound healing with folk instruments from Eurasia to close the evening for Portland Ecstatic Dance.
Elements include overtone flute, mouth harps, and my version of an old Slavic healing chant with saaz (Turkish lute).
🔥 The words of the agma, or mantra— call in:
RADORO - harmony within and repair of relationships.
DARO - the gift, positivity and balance for protection and success.
SłAWO - reveals darkness or what is hidden, for transformation of negativity.
Always grateful for this amazing community @ecstaticdanceportland . 🙏

Grateful for this opportunity to rest by the river, in the shelter of grandmother cedars and breathe in the stillness of the forest.

Today’s sketch with the saaz and throat singing. Still new to singing with strings, and my kargyraa voice is rusty, but I’ll keep practicing. 🔥

🌱 Spring renewal. Still, the muses of Life grace us with gardens of delight, blooming with possibility and new beginnings. 🌸 I pray that each day reminds you of the divine force of love within you.

Improvisation on the saz/ baglama. A few years ago, I had no experience playing stringed instruments, and am now getting a feel for this one.
🔥 What’s a skill you thought you’d never be able to do but want to try or are learning now?
I hope you do something that stirs your soul today. 🙏

queer love is magic. and I have proof. ✨
they write me poems about mountains and snowmelt.
I write them back in devotion and cathedral fire.
we wrote one together standing at the edge of the ocean
on one of our first dates, barefoot & butterflies
and something ancient in both of us finally exhaled.
this is the love I spent years not believing I deserved.
the kind that sees all your parts… body, spirit, shadow,
grace…and says yes. all of it. you.
six months of chosen. of sacred. of real.
six months of being known the way the mountain knows
its own name.
to the queer souls still waiting🌈 it exists.
the love that feels like coming home to a place you’ve never been.
don’t you dare stop believing in it. 🌀
thank you for loving me, @karromoss .
“We are the same flame, learning again how to burn together.”
