Ep 9. Medicine Music & The Adventure Of Self-Exploration With Medicine Song Man Rasmus Ronholt

Love Is Our Nature

May 26 2021 • 1 hr 14 mins

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Rasmus through Darren Austin Hall from our last episode. And since then, I have been a regular attendee at the Medicine Song Circles that Rasmus hosts and organized for free for the community in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica every Wednesday. Suddenly, this has become one of the highlight of my week, and perhaps one of the highlights of my last 4 months in Costa Rica.

It's difficult to explain rationally what one gets from getting together with others and singing medicine songs. I for one never thought of music as "medicine", yet getting together with Rasmus and singing together with him, has been one of the most beautifully healing things for my heart. It truly has been my medicine, as I originally set out to Costa Rica to re-learn to open my heart and be able to fully give and receive love.

Rasmus has an incredibly unique story totally worth of sharing, yet he shares it in a very nonchalant manner. The work he has done through plant medicine and self-exploration is instantly clear and palpable. He embodies humility more so than anyone I've met, and is indeed endowed with a beautiful gift of song that we are fortunate to witness in this episode.

I feel very fortunate to call Rasmus a friend and a brother. I'm happy that you get to meet him here, and grateful that you get to listen to some of his singing here as well.
