The tiny community of Serena has its origin, lineage and ancestry in the nomadic ethnic group of Kichwa who lived in Llagantes rainforest, by the river Pastaza, known as Hatun Yacu, the almighty water.
In 2009, I reached the iron, narrow bridge that built the missionaries with their arrival. Magnetized and astonished by the energy of the white quartzes and the paradise-like beauty of Llaganates mountains, I crossed it enthusiastic.
The first inhabitants I met on my path were children swimming in the river; they were jumping fearless from the huge rocks into the water, next to me. Their joyful laughter and vitality reminded me the Wiwa and Kogui children I have met years ago in the highs of Sierra Nevada, in Colombia.
We felt each other instantly. The warm light in their eyes, stardust; their voices pure honey. It has been a while, I haven't met such luminous and transparent children. My intuition has guided me again to the emerald land, and I knew that I would come back to stay for longer time.
One day, having a conversation with the teacher of the school about my holistic knowledge and life in the indigenous territories, I was invited to have an alternative class with the kids, a method of teaching I have developed in the previous years by using color therapy to restore, re-activate and maintain the genetic coding.
The offer was voluntary and I have agreed happily for the new direct experience. However, I was challenged with the question, how I would succeed to keep the attention equal, as the children had an age difference; between five and thirteen years old.
My first class started with the teachings of the subtle hue-man body and its color frequencies, known as energy wheels or chakras in the hindu philosophy. The children were stimulated with the quest to find the colors and their symbolism in their surrounding, and it seemed to perceive the idea of the light body easily. Their mind was sharp, their intelligence brilliant and their voices confident; an excellent state of solar awareness and cellular activation.
In the drawings that followed, by the colors and the objects they have painted, I was able to distinguish the character, emotionality and mind programing, individually and collectively, nurtured and influenced psychologically by the same natural environment, with only a certain distinction in epigenetics.
That first class was a bliss; an initiative factor to finally integrate the color therapy in my quantum holistic. In the following years, I have visited their community sporadically, though, always our classes have been spontaneous and delightful.
I returned to Serena in 2019, after an absence of two year, with the intention to record. The children have grown up and new were born. Yet, all were glad for the class and the recording, even half of them were initially interested to play with a mini bowling that I have gifted them, rather to paint.
Surprised from their reaction, I thought of the kids in the western societies and my experience with them, and how their behavior would have been, in their age, due to permanent contact with technology.
With no judgment or demanding, I let them enjoy the freedom of choice to be present in their heart space and linked my attention to those that wanted to participate; our topic was this time 'Sachacuna', the Nature.
All of a sudden it started to rain, and their excitement was directed anew. Nowhere else are children so extremely electrified by the element of the water, than in the Lemurian vortexes along the tropical rainforests. Very often I see them dancing ecstatic under rain, enjoying the water falling in their face. And every time, they do so, I see the spirit of life in their laughter.
The meditative sound of rain has finally tuned everything into a common vibration and collective creativity. A moment of introspection, silence and constructive noise.
This was also the intention of the recording; to reflect their purity, passion, and awareness -, a solar blueprint that needs to be protected from the mutation of the vaccines, not only in this village, but every where.
It is our response-ability to preserve the seeds of our coming generations!

For the recording I used different angles to give depth and keep it dynamic.
The rest of the compositions played in synthesizer and keyboard intuitively in Vienna.
