Greetings and Happy Solstice! A lot has been happening over the past few months. Several projects in the works and I'm excited to announce that "Earth Om - Sacred Resonance: Exploring Your Relationship with the Earth" will be ready to ship in a few days - I'll send out a formal announcement to the mailing list and post it on facebook.

I'm also migrating the HoloShamanic Strategies shopping cart to this site and will manage all sales of CDs from here. During the process you may find that you get bounced around between each site but overall it should be pretty effortless and seamless.

As always, I am deeply grateful for your support!

Keepers of the Flame: Healing Rhythms & Visionary Voices for Transforming our World Aug 2-5 at Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado

Mar 21, 2012

Re-Membering through Celebration and Ceremony

Join me with world-renowned musicians, tribal wisdom keepers, ceremonial healers and global evolutionary leaders in remembering a compassionate, earth-honoring humanity at Keepers of the Flame: Healing Rhythms & Visionary Voices for Transforming our World Aug 2-5 at Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado.

“Inlakesh” (Rob Thomas & Tanya Gerard) will be joining me for a 2-hour ceremonial presentation/performance utilizing The Shaman’s Heart theme.

In many ways, we live in a world of forgetting, where the materialist paradigm and the belief systems of the industrialized world have severely eroded our sense of connection to the planet, to each other and to all living things. In our forgetfulness, we often create a world of harm.

2012 is the year of Re-membering. As the often quoted Hopi expression says, "We are the ones we've been waiting for".

Key elements in this Re-membering is ceremony and ritual mastery, as embraced by traditional societies and Shamanism. They nurture a soul-infused relationship with the earth and unseen realms that awakens us to a world of greater beauty and energy - one in which we make more holistic and discerning choices. In acting on behalf of something greater than ourselves, we begin to feel it act through us.

THE SHAMAN'S HEART II - The Healing Journey - Byron Metcalf (Featuring Steve Roach) NOW SHIPPING!

Oct 3, 2011

The Shaman's Heart II – The Healing Journey is an entrancing 70-minute shamanic journey of uninterrupted, evolving tribal-trance drumming and percussion that continuously builds in rhythmic complexity and dynamic intensity. Byron is joined by Steve Roach who provides the harmonic and textural psychotropic stew created from a rich, organic and analog blend. The alchemy with the percussion results in an ecstasy that helps hold the space for the listener to journey far and deep into powerful and sustained shamanic states of consciousness. The journey culminates in a bursting forth through the full spectrum portal of pure existence – returning safely home to the heart-centered presence and potential of the true self.

The continuous heartbeat rhythm, medicine rattles, heart and soul activating trance drumming, combines with Steve’s sonic mastery and deep didgeridoo to firmly anchor the entire journey to the listener’s own sonically-driven trajectory. Repeated use of this music in a personal ritual or ceremonial context will enhance the heart’s capacities for love, compassion, courage, power, and strength. With focused and clear intention, this sonic call to adventure draws on the traditional shamanic model that is proven over the eons to open the primal mind to access all levels of human experience including the upper, middle, and lower worlds of the shamanic landscape and various transpersonal realms of reality.

The Shaman's Heart II is a powerful and potent shamanic journey that invites the listener to make full contact with their heart – their own inner wisdom and various non-physical helpers, guides and allies, to reveal, release, heal and transform the habitual patterns and blocks that inhibit and stifle their growth and creative energies.
