Taragápe is a name that implies cosmic compassionate universal love. Through this energetic signature, Jeremy Colbert seeks to serve as a hollow vessel for diverse and devoted vibrations to emerge through the integrative and healing modality of sound.

As a multi-instrumentalist, ceremonialist, music educator, composer, and Sound Journey facilitator, Taragápe has been sharing music as medicine in intentional spaces throughout the Boulder region for years. His album Spirit Maze was recorded in 2019 with members of Elephant Revival, produced by bassist Dango Rose and Evan Reeves.

You can find him on Instagram @taragape and his album on Spotify.

Genevieve Ayala is a carrier of sacred chants and medicine music, inspired by her passion to dream awake a more beautiful and loving future. She has facilitated women’s circles, workshops, and sacred rituals in earth-based wisdom and elemental alchemy around the world for the last seven years. While living on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala for several years, she would sing through ceremonies and lead chants at a weekly community kirtan.

After living abroad, she has recently put roots down in Boulder, CO, after meeting her beloved Taragápe at a kirtan here! Find out more about her workshops and courses in her vision of “An Emerald Earth”, as well as ceremonial Cacao from Guatemala, at https://anemeraldearth.com.

Amandla de Luz (also known as Amanda Grover), was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, inspired from a young age by the soulfulness within many musicians and genres of music. Singing, dancing, playing guitar and piano from the age of 6, life came alive for her with the vibrations of Reggae, Hip hop, Funk, Blues, Jazz, R and B, Folk, and Country music.

At the age of 20, her roots grew, and African rhythms called along with the Native American Water drum, hand drum and big drum, the heart of the Native people. For 13 years she devoted her life and musical abilities to learning Native American ceremonial songs and honoring the ancestors and future generations by learning these traditional musical prayers.

Amanda's healing journey with sacred music took her to Colombia in 2012 to study with indigenous communities. There, her guitar playing was greatly influenced by the folkloric music of South America, giving her musical sound roots in the traditions and rhythms of Latin America. Discovering all the while, through prayer and sacred song and music, her heart of devotion for healing and inspiring people into deeper communion with the Spirit of Love.

"Let your love be music, let it pour forth from your heart...let it move and change like the water flowing from its source to its destination. Let it speak beauty with no words...mirroring valleys of wildflowers undisturbed, holding the faith that all things mature to their fullness, in their own time, an ever-flowing radiant love to give".
