Life as a musician and nomad
Through a deep yearning for a harmonious and free practice of life, she chose since mid 2018 to leave all structures and live as nomad focusing on the yogic study of the self, sharing Kirtan practice in which music is used as a tool to center the mind and transcend the individual experience of separateness.
She has been offering Kirtan practice in many places in Mexico and Guatemala, so in Maloca, San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, in Huerto Roma Verde in Mexico City, with Uria Tsur in Unite in Babylon, Zipolite and in Mitotecalli, Mazunte, as well as in places in Rishikesh, India and im Chiemgau, Germany. As singer she performed in the Festival “La Presencia” in Puma Hidalgo 2022 with the Cumbia-Orchestra La Luminosa and also sharing Kirtan practice.
In May 2022 she did studio recordings of harmonium, voice and mouth drum as part of a cooperation with the artist and DJ Kris Berle, creating a studio EP (this projects are in the process of post production), as well as a Live-Kirtan concert recording with the tabla player Raven-Farhad-Tohidi in Mexico City.
In 2023/24 she traveled India and Nepal – now having lived in a nomadic way for 5 years.
