Welcome to Living Heart Ceremony

Darpan weaves 30 years of experience in music, healing, and the shamanic arts to create a unique transmission that inspires, enlivens and transforms. Bringing people together to create an unambiguous experience of our common Source is the intention, which inspires his work. A skillful blend of ritual, song, meditation and celebration are the means by which he achieves the goal.

Sound is one of the great gifts we have been blessed with and can be used to expand awareness in all of our bodies: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. In the sessions and events that he facilitates, he utilises live and recorded music, visualisation and guided imagery, pure tones, crystal singing bowls, gongs, bells and other generators of Harmonic Resonance. When we combine these elements with a specific intent we are initiating a Sacred Journey.

Over the years Darpan has been experimenting extensively with these tools and has found them to be effective within the context of guiding an ayahuasca ritual.

He is a gifted musician, skilled in the use of sound for healing and transformation. His recent recordings include the double CD, 'Temple of Glowing Sound' and the acoustic collection 'Fly Away', have enjoyed international success in the spiritual community. He is also a qualified therapist, with a warm and supportive energy. His work is enlivened by his insight and humour.

Darpan currently lives in Australia, where he is renowned as a musician and healer. Click the MUSIC link to hear some samples.
