The exploration of your voice is medicine: listen to Alas song Cantik Mariposa at the end of the interview.
After finding herself homeless, Ala Hayhurst, now a soulful musician, awakened in 2021 to a higher calling discovering her true voice as a vessel for deep prayers that transcend linguistic boundaries and heal the soul through verses of love, joy, gratitude and liberation.
In this interview we talk about:
"Being a person is innate and to be a human being is something that we have to practice daily in our actions...Asking ourselves and learning daily what our human needs?"
How can we get to know ourselves more intimately through life experiences, the power of music and our own voice?
As humans, our voice carries a frequency that's essential for our own personal growth and it can bring forth medicine for others as well.
It's our responsibility to exercise our voice and we can ALL learn how to sing.
Ala's music is rooted in the traditions of medicine music, embracing the spiritual essence of country, folk, rock, and blues.
Hear her song "Cantik Mariposa," a soulful ode to butterflies. It will invite you to deep introspection as butterflies do before they trust in their wings to fly.
You can also listen to her song Resilience on Spotify and all platforms.
I love you, Mariposa.
