Okay, I'll go first!! I just recorded where I'm at with "Buscadores de Verdad" by Diego Palma. My hubby helped me find a picking pattern I can handle -- and there's a fun, strummy ending. Brief edit: my guitar is tuned to 432Hz and I have the capo on the 4th fret. Also, I'm a former classical soprano and I've been working on blending my voice. I'm used to singing while standing up, but I can't play guitar while standing up yet! 🤪 In other words -- breath support is its own task and I can only focus on so many things at a time 🪄 I've love your thoughts and support for this brave newbie guitar player. Thanks so much!!

(Español abajo) If you’ve found your way here, take a moment and arrive. This isn’t just another group. And it’s not meant to be a place where people scroll, consume, and disappear. What we’re building here is something much closer to what most of us have been missing:a space to actually learn, practice, and grow alongside other people who are walking a path. Not perfectly. Not all figured out. But honestly. Most people today are doing this alone. They read, they watch, they reflect—but there’s no real place to practice being who they’re becoming. This space exists to change that. Here, the value isn’t just in what’s posted. It's in what you bring into it. If you’re new, start here: Introduce yourself. Not just where you’re from, but: - What are you working through right now? - What are you trying to build or become? - What called you into this space? You don’t need the perfect words. Just be real. Then take one more step: Share something. - A video of you playing music - A reflection from your day - A question you’ve been sitting with - Something you’re learning or struggling with This isn’t a performance. It's a place to show up as you are and let that be enough. And don’t just post—connect. - Respond to someone else’s introduction - Ask a follow-up question - Encourage someone who shared something vulnerable - Start a conversation instead of waiting for one This is how a space becomes alive. There are no “followers” here. There are people at different points on the path: - some just beginning - some a few steps ahead - some walking alongside you And all of that matters. Over time, you’ll see different layers open up here: - teachings and conversations with elders - courses and practices - opportunities to go deeper But none of that replaces the foundation: real people, showing up, consistently If you stay here and only watch, you’ll still get something. But if you participate—if you actually step in—you’ll get far more than information.

Hey all - this is a thread for you to request the songs you want tutorials for! They can be any sort of medicine songs, even if it's not our Andean/Jungle style. Just don't request 'Free Bird.' As we grow, our members can help out and we might get instructors to help create more tutorials. Won't know unless you ask. And maybe... we might already have it ;) So ask away!
