A collective record label for emergent devotional artists.
Conscious Tribe. Sacred Vibe. Ecstatic. Ancient. World. Rising.
Eva keeps telling me to start a site called The Product Whisperer, recommending resonant people, products and more. I'm starting simple, with my top 11 of '11 as Blissroot's first blog. Categories reflect what juices me most these days...
1. Spiritual Teachers Hiro Boga rocks energetic realms with resonance and righteousness. Her potent teachings and crystal voice drop me directly into my most grounded, inspired, in-the-flow self. Plus, she introduced me to the Deva of FaceBook. My godson Bodhi Muse keeps transforming me with his koans, cuddles and knowledge dropped.
2. Who I Wanna Dance With Toni Bergins, founder of JourneyDance, gets funky and divine like no other. She guides magic movement ritual with a fiery blend of grace and primality! Jamile McGeejust came off tour to do his thing at a studio down the street from me. He glides through the local late spots with laughter and moves that break the house down. Strange Powers struts her stuff with hot hoop skills and serious sass. Find her on the regular convening jams at Joe's Movement Emporium, in the spotlight at Malcolm X Park drum circle Sundays, or at my hip.
3. DJ’s For ritual and trance vibes: L.A.-based sonic-priestess ImagikaOM transfixes with mixes of ancient future tribal devotion. For booty-shake: NY's guru of global beats, 2melo aka Myk Tummolo,journeys around the world in a set spiced with just the right blend of base and bounce, fiery vox and inspired moments of live latin percussion. Both Imagika and 2melo are straight channeling when they DJ, imho. Find their mixes on SoundCloud.
4. Food From the Tree: Mangos. Five a day all summer, two a day now. The magnificent mangueiras which held my hammock decades ago during the Paraiba (Brasil) Rainbow Gathering got me hooked, no doubt. From the Shelves: Taste Nirvana Coconut Water. When I can’t get to Khepra's raw spot or split my own, it’s all about Taste Nirvana, the closest thing to a fresh coconut. One a day keeps me from falling over in the 105 degree Bikram studio.
5. Movements for Change Occupy. Nuf said. Kohenet, our priestess movement that continues to Occupy Judaism and Embody the Goddess with radical reclaiming, reveling and revealing. Something tells me my sister Indigo Bacal's WildeTribe World Council and Initiation is gonna be my new fave for 2012.
6. Adornment Shakti Activewear. If you’ve ever seen me with just the right amount of cleavage and bounce, skirting that line between sexy and support in style, I’m in Shakti. Buy a size larger than you think you need, they’re made in Brasil!
7. Music Instead of going with my gut on this, I’m turning to hard data: Itunes play-count. Most rocked in 2011? Single-track: Mos Def’s No Hay Nada Mas. I had it on repeat all the way from DC to Europe and back. Album: Beats Antique’s 2009 release Collide... my daily dance album for months. Available for free download on www.beatsantique.com.
8. Live Music Chant: I Remember, the timeless new anthem by Shoshana Jedwab I couldn't get out of my head all spring. Recently recorded with an ensemble from the Galilee, and up on bandcamp. Concert: Peace-sound-troubador Gabriella Kapfer is a living instrument who paints new possibility in the realms of transformative sound vibration. Find her in the UK or US/world tour.
9. Invention The Gameltron. Hands down. The sonic tradition of 1,000 year old Indonesian Gamelan merged with robotic technology to create sound-healing that is out of this world. Zillions of of vibraphones, drums, chimes, bells and resonating bronze gongs played by robotic mallets. An hour, or a day, inside the Gameltron will leave you transformed. Yearning for more.
10. Party The NYC Dream Collaborations. Find on FB at OneGood Reason. After the multi-modality magic of OneDreamNYC 11.11, its a no-brainer that DreamTime 2012 will be miraculous. These collaborative healing arts jams transform parties into panoramas of play, pleasure and possibility.
