The Highlight of My Experience!
I have experienced Arkawa's music during my first Ayahuasca retreat with Pachamama Sanctuary. I chose that specific retreat because I was a bit afraid of my first experience and thought that having music around might be encouraging and soothing. It turned out it was exactly that and far beyond. Arkawa's voice, touch of the guitar strings, breath onto the wind instruments was simply Divine. I felt he was talking to the Ayahuasca/Chacruna at work in me, directly and profoundly, with so much love and strength; it was the most beautiful dance inside my core. He has that thing. I am beyond grateful that I was on this once in a lifetime journey with him supporting me and each and everyone of us. I remain connected to his music and will continue to listen to it.
