Episode I. The Burn

Emotional Fields Recordings

//: S o u n d s

Listen on 🎧

#burningman

This is a journey through the desert madness and its

S o u n d

there's laughters with strangers and music to dance

sometimes, sound and image comes together to you and makes sense.

but most of the time, nothing does.

Sun rises comes, you meet an artist by its artwork:
#The tree of exhaustion.

He tells you about his many burns, and his mission to eradicate the noise

"In silence, there is no wars"

In silence, there is no war.

He has towers of microphones, cancelling frequencies.

The science makes sense but the scale of the desert to catch soundwaves is bewildering.

You wonder about his genius, or his madness.

Unsure of which, you venture further on.

Nature takes back its right.

The sun heat slowly breaks into your skin.

Night comes again.

The lights are on, the desert turns again.

On like a Christmas tree. Fun fair bonanza.

The party resumes.

The show goes on.

Art cars come together, like tribal members around fire.

In between them, the sound bleeds and makes me confused.

The body splits between rythms.

It makes my head unclear.

I dream of peace and harmony

Afar, the man burns

Above, softness heals

We watch, unsure, the ritual

what does it mean?

what is this ritual?

its been two weeks of integrating

my take is the following:

the playa is a dual space:

absurdity and amazement

laughter is the solace

the art is the tribute to the love of creation:

we need spaces to be artists.

we need spaces to create.

we yearn to express ourselves, to be witnessed in our creation

that work is hard. I learn about

Type 2 fun: like climbing a mountain.

it's more in the aftermath that the reward becomes apparent, rather than in the immediate experience.

I didn't find time to play.

It's a type of new fun to understand

the offering is the love - the time we contribute, the effort in the face of an unpredictable weather, an uncertain goal

and the love is the yearning

the yearning for remembering of what we humans are capable of

we come together in this ocean of nothingness to put together the best and the worst

duality again

A X I S M U N D I --- axis of the world

Mount Olympus. Yggrasil in Norse mythology. Points where worlds meet, into which reality is organised.

The axis mundi can be within you

The symbolic meaning isn’t necessarily “there is a magical center of the universe.”

It can represent the search for an inner center, the place from which you can orient your life.

"What is the point around which I want my life to revolve?"

Weirdly it's a question that comes up a lot these days for me personally.

First Burning Man.

Fitting theme.

Never in a million years would I have thought I would go and have many opportunities to meet new people through these offerings.

Life's always full of surprises.

Thursday 03.09 / 6 PM ~ Desert Rose Songs ~

Live show from the desert of Nevada

🏜️

I put this show together to honor the desert - a live performance inspired by its environment.

The desert is so rich in symbols, in stories. In evocations.

This is how the story starts: It happened a very long time ago...

before we knew how to find our way through the desert.

they say that once, a goddess looked down upon the mortals and saw how deeply they suffered.

their loneliness,
their longing,

they ways they loved
and the ways they were afraid to love

and she wept

where one tear touched the earth,
a flower began to grow

a desert rose blooms

and it said the desert rose would only bloom for those willing to love with their whole hearts

such flowers do not give themselves easily,

because the desert doesn't forgive the careless traveler

5 WEEKS TO GO! 1 spot left :))

Goddesses Gathering invites one more woman to enter a space of ultimate self-care.

Living with nature's cycle, end of summer is the middle of the witch's year - a time to slowly come inwards. This is not a retreat to push yourself, do more, or cultivate more of the same practices.

This is designed as a nurturing.

As a deep rest and time to feel within.

A way to connect with our divine nature. We all crave for the same things - love, joy, happiness, peace, connection. Can we become these things ourselves, and be catalysts of them in the world? I deeply believe that we accumulate so much limiting beliefs, so much holding us back. Some of it are learned, or transmitted through generations. And that with care and attention to them, with their understanding, their witnessing, they slowly can dissolve and let us be who we truly disserve to be.

If you've come to my class you know that they are ceremonial by nature - an exploration of the self and of the unseen.

I strongly believe Jung's quote of "If you don't make the unconscious conscious, you will call it fate".

So this retreat will blend my most powerful practices to make us feel more at ease in who we are.

>> GODDESSES <<

We all participate. We all share.
There will be a talk on fermentation, its history and benefits for the body, and one very special workshop on "Allowing Wellness".

We will honor all parts of ourselves.
The shadows, and the light.

We honor all of that at the beautiful @har_en_mar

Dates: 30.09 to 05.10
The perfect temperatures for Ibiza ☀️

Warm sea, but colder nights for the use of the sauna...

Eyes closed, I can feel the sun...

☀️

Photo on polaroid double exposure from @________asa4
from two summers ago, at @har_en_mar
turned into video with seedai

deep into transformation process

🌸

"Eyes closed I can feel the sun,
waves of warmth raining
on my skin,
down my spine,
your heartbeat
mirrors mine
I feel your chest rising
like I feel your breath
on my back
I lay here...

- eyes closed I can feel the sun"

~ < > ~

some moments feel eternal

Extract from

(( S A L T ))

Amazon is not my first choice of distributor - but after writing this book in 2020, working with a designer on beautiful illustrations and having it sitting in my computer for half a decade...

I thought that it would be best putting it into the world imperfectly, than not putting it out at all.

Everything is a learning. Here I realize that I'm good at creating, at the pure act that translates what I feel into some work of art.

it's second nature, I do it all the time. but anything related to my own work promotion / outreach / the administrative work of putting it out in the world, I'm kind of terrible at.

I grew up as a single child and I never learned to ask for help. I'm terrible at asking for help, or relying on other people. I never learned that it's something one could do.

Something else I notice is that I have zero interest for the prospects of where the work goes, what deeply interests me is the moments of creation, where I feel closest to SOUL.

I simply hope that some people will connect with it and it will make them feel

seen
less lonely
feeling from their hearts
a little more at peace

& I get really overwhelmed by the research and reaching out process (labels or editions houses) or submitting to publishers... having worked in startups I know all the strings, machinations and luck involved with some choices and it sucks the joy out of the creative work.

This is also the stage where the doubts most easily creeps in.

When I create there is no space for doubt.

Concrete mirrors // Memories from Naoshima

"There's a form of truth only art can attain."

I discovered museums in my early twenties. Never visited one with my parents - and I became obsessed.

I realized that their atmospheres (like churches and gardens) was a space I resonated deeply with. I loved the mystery behind every piece. A scene. a moment captured. A thought. Looking through time almost.

Bending realities.

I loved the feeling of being in a place dedicated to creativity.

A place for the minds who wanted to explore this seemingly useless thing humans do since painting the grotto of Lascaux - art.

A place dedicated to this space humans go, in their minds - to reveal the unseen.

To make other people feel. Reflect. Heard.

Naoshima was probably one of the most surreal museums I've been.

An island, rainy season, weather warm and sweet. My hair so fizzy from the misty rain. Tropical feeling, but it's Japan.

And the art.
Monet / Walter de Maria / James Turell / Basquiat / Kusama...

I drink from their wells and integrate the story they tell.

POV: Making this was fun

======> Are you sometimes sitting in meditation and wonder what should I be doing?

I share here my own "system" ==> • A A A •

I didn't invent the wheel and there's many ways to meditate but for me this has been the one I crafted from my experience that works for ME :)

Maybe it helps you too 🥰

but - not everything in your body is a muscle btw ;)

Since I heard the image of your mind is a like a mountain of snow and every thought marks a path like a skier coming down, I can't stop having the following:

1/ feeling inside my brain the sliding sensation i love of skiing on a fresh powder snow and leaving a fresh mark

2/ imagining my brain as a worn down ski slope and myself as a mountain, my head as a snowy tip

3/ having the obvious resolution that I want to take down the path I love and NOT the bloody damn black slope full of humps that will make my quads burn.

I am here to enjoy my ski holidays (life).

yes, don't live on autopilot => it might seems so obvious but it takes quite some time and reflection to beat mother nature // reptilian brain // the pre frontal cortex from messing up with your life 🍄

I guess it's fitting, A A A = I feel we're (all?) recovering addicts of some kind ;) And we're still battling everyday
some kind of addiction to something

🌸🧿🌸

Awareness = noticing

Attention = bringing focus

AWE => simply the most important thing to make your life joyful

So happy I could finally use these selfies from last year at
@har_en_mar I remember feeling SO GOOD that morning :))

Tanned, nourished, creative, having a fantastic time with the soft female energy of women gathering...

1 spot left on my Ibiza retreat!!

do nothing for one day, without guilt. see what changes the next day. Sometimes I need reminders that I can just chill, guiltfree.

Having a music studio at home often makes me feel I should be making music/ yoga 24/7.

But especially in summer I need slowness. Rest. Let my body process all the information it collects.

Let the psyche deal with the small changes I'm going through. I need to be patient in painting the full picture. I need to get out of the way.

So this is the sign that ITS TOTALLY OKAY TO DO NOTHING TODAY

Just take that rest. Be cosy.

The moving forward, integration and growth also happens in learning how to do nothing. Learning new ways of processing. How to connect with intuition and what's going on within - the subtle messages.

Then I can hear before the signs are loud.

It sometimes need some reminders.

#guiltfree
#soulliving
#followyourheart
#slowlife
#summervibes

think of your life force as a currency. if you overdraft and go in negative, you will have to pay back with interest

you are the sum of the 5 people you spend your time with. choose wisely

feeling connected 100% of the time is not realistic. what is interesting is to notice how you handle the disconnection, and if that allows you to explore the ways to get back on that connection.

a central question is "how does it feel"? for me it means being in a flow, a certain type of "everything is going to be okay" feeling, an energy of excitement

another one is "what do i need"?

and because you are always changing it always requires a curious mind.

one that doesn't mind being "lost".

one that enjoys "finding its way".

Something I notice: when I am fully rested, efforts feel rewarding.

when I am depleted, efforts make me resentful (to others, to the effort / thing itself)

that resentment is the sign that I wasn't enough taking care of my needs, rather than the conclusion that I am lazy

how to transform what happened to you in the strength in your story? still figuring that one out :)

i've witnessed this so many time after so many years of holding on "tightly" - the most beautiful things happen when I let go

WATER RISING - THE EDGE

A few years ago I read this fable that stayed with me:

"Come to the edge"
'but I'm scared'
"Come to the edge"
'but what if I fall?'

And you fall. And
you fly.

"Standing at the edge,
watching myself fall..."

Sometimes falling in what you need to witness your own rising.

Coming out 21.08

POV: About to go behind the decks and play live. I am setting intention and praying all goes well - I remember making a wish a few years ago that this would happen.
Life is strange this way, some dreams come true. Yet we forget.

A bit stressed because 1/ I've mastered myself all my tracks and 2/ it's a new mixer I have never tried playing with 3/ I'll share some unreleased tracks for the first time and it's always vulnerable 4/ I'm singing live so hoping I don't forget the lyrics and I feel comfortable singing so I guess there's a few unknown ;)

But I have my friends around and Bj told me I'll be next to you you go girl so I'm feeling very supported

POV: My psychotherapist told me once "you're not an artist". She was wrong.

I promised a trip down memory lane: my favorite band is AIR (or the one I listen to the most consistently for so long).

Being a teenager in south of france I remember many summer nights getting high and listening to that album ✨By that time I was writing still but composing very little - only with the guitar as I didn't have a piano. Ever performing live felt impossible.

Many limiting beliefs, and an environment that didn't value creativity at all - or treated it as a silly dream.

who you surround yourself with is so important.

Fleetwood Mac remixed by Kerala Dust - what can go wrong?

I had prepared many ways the set could go, different vibes - and I guess this is the path that the moment followed.

people dancing, we kept the groove on with one of our favorite sexy track.

SMILE SMILE SMILE BC OUR HEARTS WERE SO FULL.
Playing with people we love.
For people we love.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes. A lot of stuff going on in the world that makes my heart heavy.

But then... ART.

As a hypersensitive person, art saves me ✨

Behind every song, a story. Someone were at a point in their life, in their craft. A memory, an encounter, a book they read. Something inspired them.

It's one of my favorite feeling.

Being inspired. sense of Awe.

Music like wind, moving like reeds.
Ambient is that expansive flow.

Term was officially coined with "Ambient 1: music for airports" by Brian Eno (1978).
Exploration.
