Ways We Practice Together · 02

Medicine Music

Song as remembrance. Listening as prayer. Music as one of the oldest medicines we have.

"AshEL offers a deep transmission of soulful melodies and celestial vibrations. The first time I experienced his music it transported me to some profound and beautiful places. His frequencies are tuned to the ancient lineage of divine light and sound."

— Jen Jarvie, Heart Wide Open Band

Watch & listen

Rose Petals, by the fire

  • Conscious hip-hop

    Rooted in language, lineage, and truth-telling.

  • Medicine songs

    Prayer carried on melody — for ceremony and healing.

  • Ngoni & African string traditions

    Old strings, ancestral time.

  • Devotional chant

    Mantra, invocation, repetition as remembrance.

  • Sound healing

    Voice, bowl, bell, drum — vibration as offering.

  • Improvisation

    Listening in real time to what wants to move through.

  • Community singing

    One room, many voices, no audience.
