Neurons to Nirvana - Journey with Mother Aya

Journey with Mother Aya

Neurons to Nirvana

play

11/11/21 • 39 min

Ayahuasca, known as the vine of the soul, is a plant native to the Amazon region, brewed from a jungle vine into a tea, and has been used by shamans for centuries in healing ceremonies. Tom shares his very personal journey with Mother Aya when traveling to South America. Ayahuasca is a ceremonial experience. A shaman is a vital difference between recreation and medicine. When someone says they “drink Ayahuasca,” it inherently means to drink in ceremony. This episode is a two-sided account of Tom’s ceremonial Ayahuasca experience. You will hear a personal account of visions, nightmares, and fears that unfolded and ultimately the sense of wonderment, enlightenment and self-love. Tom is joined by Adam Stammers, one of the retreat helpers from Bristol, England, who assisted the shaman and the participants throughout the entire ceremony. Adam’s perspective and insight may help the listener frame how an Ayahuasca ceremony can appear from an outsider’s point of view.

Neurons to Nirvana - Electric Violnist Asher Laub
play

10/13/22 • 43 min

As an independent artist, Asher Laub has found ways to monetize his music career by both pushing conventional boundaries in composition and implementing creative strategies that inspire fans to keep consuming his unique music. He is an electronic violinist, bollywood violinist, producer, composer, and performer.

Asher is known for breakdancing across stages with his LED electric violin, and after you hear his how he lost his music career to adrenal insufficiency and subsequently recovered, I believe that you will be inspired by his story.

Asher’s content can be found on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, and today, you will hear his original single Neon Dreams that brings high-energy progressive house music and merges it with contemporary classical.

What does it mean to be a Utopian? After twelve years, attendees of UTOPiAfest celebrate mind-blowing musical performances, breathtaking West Texas Hill Country sunsets and dark skies showcasing the Milky Way.

In this first of several Discover UTOPiA episodes, I interview founder Travis Sutherland, and creative mastermind Wayne Dalchau.

In April, I went backstage to hear from the musicians about what UTOPiAfest actually meant to them. There are great songs and stories that you can only hear on the Discover UTOPiA episodes. Stay tuned for future episodes featuring many great musicians.
