These images are from October 2023 — when this documentary was filmed.
The ink moves before words do.
Our documentary has been selected for the Oregon Coast Film Festival.
Today I’m in Coos Bay — screening after 2pm, joining the Q&A.
I’ve spent years expressing through my own hands, body, and heart — with ink, with silence.
In the middle of all this chaos, I still have something I want to say.
A prayer I keep offering to the earth, to the world.
That’s why I keep showing up here, in the U.S.
My path has never been straight.
I’ve compared myself to others, wrestled with my ego, lost things I couldn’t imagine losing.
And all of it brought me here.
It’s never too late.
If each of us can live even a small piece of the role we were born with —
this world becomes a little gentler.
Back to ourselves. That’s where it starts.
In quiet moments. In nature. In what we see, hear, smell, touch, taste.

Oregon Coast Film Festivalにドキュメンタリーが選出されました。
本日Coos Bayにて、2pm以降の上映とQ&Aに参加します。
混沌とした今も、伝えたいことがある。
大地へ、世界へ、祈り続けたい。
遠回りしてきた。比べて、向き合って、失って。
でも、そのすべてが今の私につながっています。
今からでも遅くない。
本来の自分へ、還っていこう。
静かな時間の中で、自然に触れ、五感で感じながら。

Gather close, good folk, and hear a brief telling of Malúr, the Wandering bard.

Born beneath the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains to a Romani caravan, Malúr knew no lasting home but the road and no truer family than those who traveled beside him. Raised among firelight, music, and motion, he learned early that song could warm hearts—or open doors best left closed. In time, his skill carried him to the courts of kings, where he served not only as minstrel, but as a quiet gatherer of whispers in days of unrest.

Yet stone walls could not hold a spirit shaped by wind and wheel. When war’s echoes faded, Malúr returned to the wandering life, walking the long veins of the Silk Road. There, by chance or fate, he came upon two mercenaries—Ferdinand, iron-willed and watchful, and Chiron, keen-eyed and cunning as a fox. Seeing in Malúr more than a simple bard, they took him into their company, and in time, into a wandering guild of blades and brothers, where loyalty was coin and survival its trade.

It was along these same roads that the blade Kindlegrave came into his keeping—born of loss, and bound to the memory of one called Siora.

Now he roams still, with lute, flute, and steel alike at hand—ever between laughter and shadow. And wherever the fire burns and stories are welcome, there may you find him… for he was born walking, and so he remains.

After the horns were sounded Chiron and Ferdinand continued Westward. The Guild gathers strength with every step as each member adds to the Saga. Malúr with journeys with us yet again as we ponder the riddle of steel.

A short glimpse from one of my favorite presentations at the Anahata Nada sacred sound concert from last Saturday in Eugene.. Thank you @caravanredsmith and @ankushvimawala for the musical sangat..
Would you like me to create such concerts more in your city?
#nada #mantra #indianraga #kirtan #chanting

Some quick throwback from last’s night Anahata-A heart awakening spring sacred sound concert and sunset embodiment ritual on Saturday March 28.

What a night it was!!! A House full, sold out concert!!!
Eugene, so much love you put out.
So much gratitude for everyone who came in to help me to put it together, without your love and support none of this could happen!
This was one of the biggest milestones for myself personally as alongwith a healing practitioner and self expression guide, now I am fully owning my hat as an artist too..
And though I have hosting events for last two years, this felt fully like a full on production with crew and community support..
I will tell you being an artist and facilitator while putting together all the other logistical aspects requires a major balancing of masculine and feminine energies..
It wasn’t easy, there were situationsI was like what’s the point..but the moment I stepped on the land, the land reminded me we got this! And then all of your beautiful hearts and smiles, made me remember how much I just love community, sharing and receiving..
Some of you drove all the way from Portland and nearby areas to come for this!
Thank you being the sweetest audience and supporters and being open to receiving the medicine !

Anahata-The unstuck sound of heart was resonating all through the field.. so much love in the space!
Thank you to @caravanredsmith and @ankushvimawala for your mind blowing music..
Thank you @paul.anderson.deering and @coalessencedance for being a dear friend and community partner for supporting the sound systems.
Thank you @larry_and_sons_bagels for the delicious fresh baked bagels for our lunch!
Thank you @innerforest for being an awesome friend and the capturer of moments.
Thank you Alan for supporting! Please visit Star Gate Store for all the magical collections when you are in Eugene.
Thank you Mandala sanctuary for being the amazing venue host and for the dreamy venue!!
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with people management!
And thanks to my dear husband Rajesh!❤️

Can’t wait to come back! Love you all so much!
Feeling grateful!!

And though I have hosting events for last two years, this felt fully like a full on production with crew and community support..
I will tell you being an artist and facilitator while putting together all the other logistical aspects requires a major balancing of masculine and feminine energies..
It wasn’t easy, there were situationsI was like what’s the point..but the moment I stepped on the land, the land reminded me we got this! And then all of your beautiful hearts and smiles, made me remember how much I just love community, sharing and receiving..
Some of you drove all the way from Portland and nearby areas to come for this!
Thank you being the sweetest audience and supporters and being open to receiving the medicine !

Anahata-The unstuck sound of heart was resonating all through the field.. so much love in the space!
Thank you to @caravanredsmith and @ankushvimawala for your mind blowing music..
Thank you @paul.anderson.deering and @coalessencedance for being a dear friend and community partner for supporting the sound systems.
Thank you @larry_and_sons_bagels for the delicious fresh baked bagels for our lunch!
Thank you @innerforest for being an awesome friend and the capturer of moments.
Thank you Alan for supporting! Please visit Star Gate Store for all the magical collections when you are in Eugene.

Some quick throwback from last’s night Anahata-A heart awakening spring sacred sound concert and sunset embodiment ritual on Saturday March 28.

What a night it was!!! A House full, sold out concert!!!
Eugene, so much love you put out.
So much gratitude for everyone who came in to help me to put it together, without your love and support none of this could happen!
This was one of the biggest milestones for myself personally as alongwith a healing practitioner and self expression guide, now I am fully owning my hat as an artist too..

Event details
As the season shifts and the evenings soften, we gather for a heart-opening immersion of ritual, music, and shared presence.

Anahata — the heart center — invites us into connection, expansion, and a deeper sense of belonging. This special evening unfolds as both outdoor ritual and indoor sacred sound journey — weaving nature, voice, and vibration into one collective experience.

At its core, this gathering is about opening the heart — gently, organically, and together.

As the season shifts and evenings soften, we gather for a heart-opening immersion of ritual, music, and shared presence. Anahata — the heart center — invites us into connection, expansion, and belonging. The evening unfolds through an outdoor sunset ritual and an indoor sacred sound journey, weaving nature, voice, and vibration into one collective field.
Mokshajyoti is a sacred sound weaver whose offerings blend mantra, kirtan, Indian rāga, and Nāda Yoga–inspired meditative soundscapes. Through intuitive vocals, handpan, and layered frequencies, she creates prayer-like sonic spaces that support inner stillness and emotional opening.
Calin Matei, a musical storyteller rooted in Romani heritage, brings the depth and texture of world instruments and ancestral musical traditions, adding richness and grounding to the shared soundscape.
Come as you are. Let the heart open to receiving!

This is a song that came to me in a flash while Galen’s grandmother Doris was dying in October 2021. Love to her always, and to all of our beloved dead and those they have left behind.
To all of our ancestors.

Lyrics:
When the old ones
welcome your footsteps
back to the sky
back to the sky

When the old ones
welcome your footsteps
back to the sky
back to the sky

We will feed you, we will feed you
we will miss you,
we will know your dance in the stars
in the stars

You are so held and so loved
you are so held and so loved
