Movement Medicine Songs for singing and dancing

Torch Songs- for our turning times, is a compilation of love songs for life to help light the way in these challenging times. They are songs to hear, to sing, to dance with. Songs of celebration of the fire, the waters, the moon, the trees. Songs of could retrieval and of letting go. They are made in honour of life, in honour of the torch of life passed to us by those who came before, in support of us who live now, and in prayer for those who follow. Its dedicated to my mother, Elizabeth Darlington, who passed a little over 2 years ago. In the tradition of all the Earth is Sacred, there is a drum song, empty of words... And the song for the Amazon rainforest, Force of the Forest; which Ya'Acov and I wrote together. 10% of the proceeds from this album will go to the Pachamama Alliance to anchor this prayer in action. Ya'Acov says: “I am so proud to announce the release of Susannah’s latest album – Torch Songs: For these Turning Times. This album is a powerful invocation for us all to take courage and stand up for life on earth. Each song is a jewel. I love the musicality, the message and the magnificent medicine that this new album is offering into the world at a time when we all need to dance like dervishes and raise our voices for what we care for. These songs come from such a deep place, a medicine place, tender and wise and full of love and with this offering, Susannah is taking her place in the circle of Medicine Women, a circle whose voices need to be heard.” Ya’Acov Darling Khan.

A tender, beautiful song of prayer to reconnect to the Great Mother, and asking for her holding both for ourselves and for our mothers.

Imbabura, Cotacachi, Tungurahua and Chimborazo are volcanic mountains in the Andes of Ecuador. Traditionally, for the Quechua people who live there, everything is either masculine
or feminine, including the mountains. Imbabura is seen as a benevolent, strong, masculine energy and he is called Taita Imbabura, (father Imbabura) by the people who live on his beautiful slopes. He is seen as married to the female mountain Cotacachi. As part of the Pachamama journey to the Amazon, we visited the beautiful community of San Susannah says "Clemente on the flanks of Imbabura for the New Year of 2013 and were very touched by the community there and the mountain they live on. Last year, as we got off the bus at San Clemente, this song started singing itself inside my heart, and itís gone on ever since. Mama Tungurahua is the beautiful live volcano near where we finish the Pachamama journey. On her slopes is the beautiful town of Banos. The people there have been warned to abandon their town by the government, but they chose to stay, saying that they trust their mother Tungurahua. So far, she has only poured lava down the other side of the mountain, where no one lives. Her partner is Taita (father) Chimborazo, whose peak is the closest part of earth to the sun. Chomolungma (Everest) is taller, but because of the way the earth is squished and widest at the equator, the peak of Chimborazo is closer to the sun. So these two are quite a pair!"
