Singing Plants at Damanhur
A community in Italy called Damanhur is doing in-depth research with plants and trees by monitoring vibratory resonance of the plant whose electrical impulses are registered through an electronic device that is connected to a synthesizer. The plants and trees learn to work with the machines and then begin to produce intricately beautiful musical pieces. As more and more trees and plants in the Damanhur community learn to sing in harmony, the entire environment becomes a sanctuary for healing not only humans but all life forms. Check out this YouTube video of the singing plants! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZaokNmQ4eY

Our first guest was a long time friend of mine, the one and only mr. Kyle Neidig <3 musician, artisan, cat-whisper, & chef extraordinaire! For more about Kyle, see his bio below.
I was always in awe of those who could play djembes- with such beauty and power, and at various times I theorized about getting one but lacked the motivation to actually go through with it. Plus I knew if I had one, I wanted to make it myself, making the task that much more daunting. I knew eternalinnersmile and morganalafay shared this desire- we had causually mentioned it from time to time but without any real plans…
Then, at the new england’s women’s herbal conference, Mz. Amani and the heartbeats were beyond words- so captivating, majestic, and primal. They were the spark that ignited our lingering desires into what was now a fiery need- a need to satisify our primal right to build, grown and heal through drumming- NOW. It was decided, the time had come…
