  1. 0:04We were not meant to be alone. All this
  2. 0:06suppression of a colonized mindset. We
  3. 0:09are not questioning ourself enough of
  4. 0:11what is happening.
  5. 0:14Everything is just talk talk talk talk.
  6. 0:17But how much of the words that you're
  7. 0:18using are you actually meaning it? Are
  8. 0:21you doing what you're preaching?
  9. 0:24But we can talk together. We can share
  10. 0:27our opinions without pushing anybody
  11. 0:28down. And that's what I feel that is
  12. 0:30lacking a lot.
  13. 0:33So hello uh nice to meet you. Today we
  14. 0:36are here with Chuck Shipper from Hilong.
  15. 0:40Thank you so much for your time and
  16. 0:42willing to dive a little bit more in in
  17. 0:46me.
  18. 0:47Yeah. So this is a like a documentary
  19. 0:49interview. So I would like to start from
  20. 0:52what are your roots?
  21. 0:55Wow, that's a a deep question. uh roots.
  22. 0:59Uh I was raised and born in South
  23. 1:03America in Ecuador.
  24. 1:06Uh but I have roots uh standing from uh
  25. 1:09Chile, the United Kingdom, France,
  26. 1:16it goes all the way back. So it's been
  27. 1:18always one connected to somehow in the
  28. 1:22Chilean side. 1972 my family moved from
  29. 1:26Chile to Ecuador because there was going
  30. 1:30to happen a civil war 73 and that's kind
  31. 1:33of when my family had a contact with
  32. 1:36with Ecuador and it's actually where I I
  33. 1:39feel very connected from the Andian
  34. 1:42region.
  35. 1:44I was born in the capital in Kito.
  36. 1:48So yeah, if
  37. 1:50you are up to going to any of those
  38. 1:52corners, just hit me up.
  39. 1:55Before High, were there any projects
  40. 1:57that you were involved in? Were you
  41. 1:58studying music or something?
  42. 2:00Yes, I've been uh
  43. 2:04since I remember I've been involved
  44. 2:06somehow in music. My grandpa, he always
  45. 2:10heard classical music, but my grandma,
  46. 2:12she was not into it so much into it. So
  47. 2:15it was very a thing that when he would
  48. 2:17went to work it was the place for his
  49. 2:19music and he had big collections of
  50. 2:21classical music. So at one point I had
  51. 2:23this dream to be a opera singer
  52. 2:27from very very
  53. 2:28picture that
  54. 2:30I'm not sure how it will be right now
  55. 2:32but I've been always very interested
  56. 2:33into that side. So from my grandpa's
  57. 2:36side I always had this connection to
  58. 2:38classical music. So there it was also
  59. 2:39the interest to the violin.
  60. 2:42I had also a violin. I don't play any of
  61. 2:44them and I don't sing either but uh I'm
  62. 2:47talking very young age. Then in the
  63. 2:49middle I jumped er I went to a school in
  64. 2:52fourth grade and there I had one of my
  65. 2:55great friends uh that I still not so
  66. 2:58much but we still having some context
  67. 3:01and him and his brother they were very
  68. 3:03into metal music and
  69. 3:07there after a big period of trying to
  70. 3:09figure out which instruments I also
  71. 3:10chose for example there was a big trip
  72. 3:13from the school and I also really wanted
  73. 3:16a guitar and my mom said you can choose
  74. 3:18choose one. You cannot go to both. And
  75. 3:21then I actually chose the guitar. Then I
  76. 3:23figure out it's also not kind of my
  77. 3:24instrument. So it's been a big journey
  78. 3:27through different instruments even
  79. 3:28though I was always hitting some pots in
  80. 3:31the kitchen from very young age. So that
  81. 3:33was always kind of the percuss
  82. 3:35percussive side very involved. Um
  83. 3:39and then in that period also I've been
  84. 3:43researching a lot of my roots in the
  85. 3:46Nordic site uh in the Celtic side from
  86. 3:50the side of my grandpa
  87. 3:53and then I figured out that there was
  88. 3:54also a lot of Scottish and the Kelts and
  89. 3:57then I dived into the Scottish backpipes
  90. 3:59also
  91. 4:02that it's been quite a journey because
  92. 4:04it's all this connection to the cultural
  93. 4:06side all is reclaiming my roots to
  94. 4:09understand where I'm coming from and
  95. 4:14to play that kind of music.
  96. 4:18Then in school, I jumped into the drums
  97. 4:21with this friend that I was calling
  98. 4:23before. He was knitting a drummer and
  99. 4:24was like, "Let's build a band." It was
  100. 4:25like, "Yeah, of course." That was like
  101. 4:26in fourth grade. And then after that
  102. 4:31I really established my my musical
  103. 4:34aspect in more what is the drums. Then
  104. 4:37thanks to my the support of my family
  105. 4:40and then my family moved when I call my
  106. 4:43family is my close family they moved to
  107. 4:45Chile
  108. 4:47and then I got a scholarship uh to study
  109. 4:50actually music jazz performance and
  110. 4:55music production.
  111. 4:57So I stayed uh in Ecuador
  112. 5:01studying that and then after my studies
  113. 5:04in that I went to
  114. 5:07Spain. I also got there some scholarship
  115. 5:11for diving much more in I couldn't
  116. 5:13understand the how it should work this
  117. 5:16thing of artists making money and making
  118. 5:18a living of it. So then I dived into
  119. 5:21music business global entertainment and
  120. 5:23music business. I made a master in that
  121. 5:26and
  122. 5:28then I went back to Ecuador. I was
  123. 5:30teaching there at the university. It's
  124. 5:32been as you can hear back and forward
  125. 5:34constantly. Uh but always involved in
  126. 5:37the musical side. I also remember when I
  127. 5:39was a teenager working in a radio
  128. 5:41station
  129. 5:43making the controls and then the guy
  130. 5:45didn't came. So I was the person putting
  131. 5:48the music and talking and so it's always
  132. 5:50kind of involved in all the musical
  133. 5:53aspect.
  134. 5:54Um and then in Ecuador I was like why
  135. 5:59not trying some more and then is when I
  136. 6:02buy in that period of time I bought one
  137. 6:06flight ticket to
  138. 6:08to Europe and there is kind of where
  139. 6:12that journey started
  140. 6:15to where I am right now. Yeah, I was
  141. 6:17amazed actually uh when I checked your
  142. 6:19biography um on some podcast um I guess
  143. 6:24it was Nordic mythology podcast uh you
  144. 6:27met your partner and you ended up in uh
  145. 6:31where in Denmark.
  146. 6:32Yes. and and from all this education
  147. 6:35from all this uh like music business and
  148. 6:38whatn not you ended up basically looking
  149. 6:40for work for a long time and yes
  150. 6:44actually it's
  151. 6:46what I kind of say is yes you can go and
  152. 6:49study
  153. 6:51and it gives you a lot
  154. 6:53but it's everything how you implemented
  155. 6:55in your life and what I feel is all the
  156. 6:59contacts and the kind of community that
  157. 7:02you build there that it makes you feel
  158. 7:04so good. And those are the people that
  159. 7:06then maybe in the future you're going to
  160. 7:09collaborate and work together if they
  161. 7:11continue working in the music industry.
  162. 7:14But how many people goes to a studies
  163. 7:16and then they're sitting at home not
  164. 7:18knowing just believing because you have
  165. 7:20that paper you're going to have
  166. 7:22something. It's everything by our own
  167. 7:24work and where I'm right now it didn't
  168. 7:26was from one day to another.
  169. 7:29I went working through different
  170. 7:30aspects,
  171. 7:32making sandwiches, cleaning toilets and
  172. 7:37moving boxes in a warehouse.
  173. 7:40And then at one point, a really good
  174. 7:42friend of of all of us,
  175. 7:45Alex Oaso, he gave me a call after one
  176. 7:47year that I was like, I need to figure
  177. 7:50out how to to make a living
  178. 7:53in Denmark. And I ended up in Denmark
  179. 7:56because of my partner because she's
  180. 7:58Danish. And
  181. 8:02and in that period of of the year, I was
  182. 8:06working and everything what I could and
  183. 8:08trying to figure out also how to dive in
  184. 8:10into the the place that I want to be.
  185. 8:14And sometimes we have to do things but
  186. 8:16if you have your vision clear or maybe a
  187. 8:20purpose for that moment to understand
  188. 8:23where you want to be it's everything a
  189. 8:25learning process and we learn from
  190. 8:27everything the problem is when we stay
  191. 8:29in something stuck that is not what we
  192. 8:31like and that's where it starts
  193. 8:34our root I call it always internal root
  194. 8:39that there is when those blocks starts
  195. 8:40and then is when anxious stress
  196. 8:44and all these feelings pop out because
  197. 8:46of these blocks because you're basically
  198. 8:47doing not what you love. So when you see
  199. 8:49that is a transition and then actually
  200. 8:51Alex called me and it was like hey I'm
  201. 8:54with this band and we need a they're
  202. 8:56looking for a driver and I was like what
  203. 8:58is it? I didn't even had any idea of
  204. 9:00what it was and what was going on.
  205. 9:04Yeah. And that was also quite a trip.
  206. 9:06And then I have in my door Maria and and
  207. 9:09Kristoff good friends of the project
  208. 9:11that I'm part of now. erh deliver me a
  209. 9:14car with
  210. 9:16spears and shields and stuff that I was
  211. 9:18like, "Okay, what the where what is all
  212. 9:22this?
  213. 9:22Why are you scared to drive such a car?"
  214. 9:24Yeah. I was like, and it was funny. Then
  215. 9:25I had some cool stories in the middle
  216. 9:27like being stopped by the German police,
  217. 9:30me having a
  218. 9:33French passport, driving a Danish car
  219. 9:36with weird weapons inside. It was quite
  220. 9:40a quite a journey. What did you talk to?
  221. 9:44Yeah, I I it was funny though because it
  222. 9:47was like
  223. 9:50they asked you do you have weapons like
  224. 9:51yes but I they tell me not to lie. So
  225. 9:55then I shouldn't lie but then it was
  226. 9:57this thing of like how do I explain him
  227. 10:00and then it was like yeah but it's for a
  228. 10:02performance and we use it in a
  229. 10:03theatrical matter but is a
  230. 10:05representation from historical findings
  231. 10:08etc. So it was a quite a thing and then
  232. 10:11thankfully it was another police officer
  233. 10:13there and she said and it's like yeah
  234. 10:16actually we can see I' I've heard of
  235. 10:18this project and I was like okay
  236. 10:20interesting and it was in the beginnings
  237. 10:22that was I think 2018
  238. 10:27somewhere there. So
  239. 10:32that was kind of the beginning of where
  240. 10:35everything started. And it was just one
  241. 10:37job that I had as a driver. And of
  242. 10:40course, as I'm a
  243. 10:43person that
  244. 10:45wants to keep going into things to reach
  245. 10:49maybe that point that I sometimes I'm
  246. 10:51not even conscious, but my
  247. 10:55my subconscious or my
  248. 10:58old vibration kind of knows where I have
  249. 11:00to go and sometimes I just let it be. So
  250. 11:05I started doing that. for me was very
  251. 11:07normal to do in Ecuador in the other
  252. 11:09projects that I had down there
  253. 11:13cuz there you don't have tour managers,
  254. 11:14manager, stage and all these beautiful
  255. 11:17things that we have these days or that
  256. 11:19you can find in other places there you
  257. 11:21do it yourself of course or you have
  258. 11:23them but you it's a big expense and for
  259. 11:25the amount of income that you get as a
  260. 11:27musician down there is quite different.
  261. 11:29So then I started doing a lot of things
  262. 11:32that I saw on stage
  263. 11:34and then Christopha called me like
  264. 11:39I need you to do this in Glasgow and
  265. 11:42then we figure out I need to talk to you
  266. 11:45in Kuberneting in that moment when he
  267. 11:47called me I was like almost in
  268. 11:48my pants but thinking like ah you're
  269. 11:50doing things that you shouldn't you were
  270. 11:52hired just as a driver but that's not
  271. 11:54what happened. it was more like please
  272. 11:56do it again and that's how I ended up
  273. 12:00making all these other things for the
  274. 12:02project and then after a period of time
  275. 12:05then I jumped where I am right now
  276. 12:07playing the drums and sharing and
  277. 12:10building my altar with a big group of
  278. 12:14amazing people.
  279. 12:16So what uh kind of drums you play in
  280. 12:18Hilong? I understand it's your native
  281. 12:22instruments.
  282. 12:23Yeah.
  283. 12:25um native we can call it. Uh what I
  284. 12:28build as I mentioned before is I
  285. 12:31what I mentioned before is that I do an
  286. 12:33uh I build an altar
  287. 12:36representing
  288. 12:39a lot of things. Everything the whole
  289. 12:41image that I'm trying to pull out is
  290. 12:43that I'm not alone here
  291. 12:46and there's been a lot of people
  292. 12:48fighting and protecting and they still
  293. 12:51do their territories, their land, their
  294. 12:53traditions.
  295. 12:55And as I grew up and was born in
  296. 12:58Ecuador, um all my things that I have up
  297. 13:01there or most of them if not their
  298. 13:03presence or a quite deep collaboration
  299. 13:07with someone like I have one drum from a
  300. 13:10great drum builder that he's from
  301. 13:13Mexico, but then all the rest of my my
  302. 13:15set is
  303. 13:18built and made by people in Ecuador. And
  304. 13:21the type of drums is we could say is an
  305. 13:25Andian uh bombo and I call it Andian
  306. 13:29because the Andian region is quite big
  307. 13:31and the instrument has been found in and
  308. 13:34still used in a lot of these places. Uh
  309. 13:37that is a basically a big cylindric
  310. 13:40wooden thing with two skins.
  311. 13:45Uh so I use different skins, different
  312. 13:47sizes.
  313. 13:49Erh and then I have different elements
  314. 13:52that also represents
  315. 13:55different aspects from where I come from
  316. 13:58and also the different journeys that I
  317. 14:00have been through
  318. 14:03and trying to apply uh it's weird to use
  319. 14:07the traditional word but let's say the
  320. 14:09the common way of using instruments for
  321. 14:12example um I have an amazing
  322. 14:18set of symbols made by Katung. The
  323. 14:21Hatung is also a a company from Ecuador
  324. 14:25that they is the first symbol company
  325. 14:28and they created my own symbols
  326. 14:30according to some different sounds that
  327. 14:32I wanted weights and I wanted some place
  328. 14:34that I'm just tired that they are
  329. 14:36breaking constantly.
  330. 14:38So
  331. 14:40yeah, it's a great project. So that we
  332. 14:44it took us some months to put together,
  333. 14:47but it happened and they're great. You
  334. 14:50can check them out. They also have some
  335. 14:52other symbols that they sell around. And
  336. 14:54then Pablo Kacho that he's a really good
  337. 14:58friend and also one of the drum builders
  338. 15:00that I work with.
  339. 15:02We have also a big passion for ancient
  340. 15:05or let's say prehispanic karamic
  341. 15:08instruments that we are trying to bring
  342. 15:11alive and that's also my other passion a
  343. 15:14part of drums is all this
  344. 15:18the sounds from
  345. 15:21old times and there are some findings of
  346. 15:24some whistles and
  347. 15:26I use also some of them on stage
  348. 15:29so you have some ancient instruments
  349. 15:31also also So yeah, yeah, I have some
  350. 15:33like actual in
  351. 15:34Yeah. Yeah. Quite some Yeah. Yeah. There
  352. 15:36are some old stuff on stage also.
  353. 15:41I know that you not doing some like
  354. 15:45music drumming. You have a lot of going
  355. 15:47on in the philosophical side on your
  356. 15:50beliefs and uh um how you see the world.
  357. 15:53Can you tell a little bit um about that?
  358. 15:56I've been in Ecuador. There is still a
  359. 15:58lot of
  360. 16:01First Nations
  361. 16:04communities and people that still live
  362. 16:08with uh their traditions. And from very
  363. 16:12young age, I've been very interested and
  364. 16:14connected also to to a lot of different
  365. 16:17aspects of
  366. 16:20these different ways of healing or what
  367. 16:22actually healing is and what actually
  368. 16:25being alive is or what is the dream
  369. 16:28world etc. A lot of of these subjects.
  370. 16:31Um so there in the process uh together
  371. 16:35with my partner we created vidaya
  372. 16:37community and journeys that is basically
  373. 16:40a space where people can join in a very
  374. 16:43exclusive way when I mean exclusive
  375. 16:47inclusive
  376. 16:49inclusive
  377. 16:50inclusive but that is exclusive
  378. 16:53I mean that is just for very few people
  379. 16:55because we have we want to have
  380. 16:58connections and it's not this common
  381. 17:01retreat street that you have 30 40 50
  382. 17:03hundreds of people uh joining the space
  383. 17:06and then you can actually not even
  384. 17:07interact with each other and the idea is
  385. 17:09this
  386. 17:11the healing part through community I
  387. 17:13really believe that
  388. 17:15that's one of the biggest problems is
  389. 17:17that this connection that we have to
  390. 17:20ourself to nature we are nature
  391. 17:23and that's what's ripping everything
  392. 17:25apart and this being alone this
  393. 17:27loneliness is what is we were not meant
  394. 17:29to be alone and all this uh suppression
  395. 17:33of a colonized mindset of saying this is
  396. 17:37what it has to be this is we are not
  397. 17:38questioning ourself enough of what is
  398. 17:40happening and why of things why am I
  399. 17:43doing this why am I supposed to do this
  400. 17:47why is it normal to live alone in four
  401. 17:50walls
  402. 17:52all all these kind of of things
  403. 17:55and that's when vidaya was was born to
  404. 17:59open face to people that have been
  405. 18:02working uh together for a long of years
  406. 18:06that they share also a different type of
  407. 18:09medicines
  408. 18:12they have been carrying it through
  409. 18:13millennials that that's also a thing
  410. 18:14that I've been seeing a huge trend of
  411. 18:17people that just
  412. 18:21I know that they may be good intentions
  413. 18:24but they just grab any medicine because
  414. 18:26they felt good that moment or They want
  415. 18:30to share it more to the world. But we
  416. 18:33have to stay in what's ours and it's
  417. 18:36very important to understand that I'm
  418. 18:39from Ecuador, but I don't own the
  419. 18:41medicine. I don't I don't serve it. It's
  420. 18:43it's a thing that it doesn't belong to
  421. 18:46me. It's not in my lineage of people and
  422. 18:49it doesn't even cross to my head to do
  423. 18:51something like that. So we open a space
  424. 18:55where
  425. 18:57me my partner and then we open we share
  426. 19:01together spaces with first nations from
  427. 19:03different territories from Ecuador for
  428. 19:05now we have been also thinking to maybe
  429. 19:07make it an open spaces in other places
  430. 19:09with people that's carries their own
  431. 19:12medicine
  432. 19:16and that's yeah we're making it once a
  433. 19:18year the next one is going to be 2026
  434. 19:23And yeah, I'm probably going to give you
  435. 19:25all the links and stuff that you can
  436. 19:26check there
  437. 19:28on screen. Yeah.
  438. 19:29Yeah. But that's also connected. So I
  439. 19:31share what where I come in is this
  440. 19:33holding space just opening doors uh in
  441. 19:36the middle of nature in a beautiful
  442. 19:38space putting people together and then I
  443. 19:41open also to things that I share in my
  444. 19:46other project that is called Arpy.
  445. 19:49um that this one is basically
  446. 19:52things that has been helping me and
  447. 19:54supporting myself in my journey that I
  448. 19:56was like why not opening it more for
  449. 19:59other people.
  450. 20:02So it's a it's a snowball that is
  451. 20:05growing but it also melts down and
  452. 20:07sometimes it's like this didn't really
  453. 20:09work and then we figure out and there we
  454. 20:11have this Suruna drum therapy circles
  455. 20:15that you were yesterday part of it. um
  456. 20:18where I also try to invite other people
  457. 20:20in. So we share all of us. It's not just
  458. 20:26a single person's thoughts or ways of of
  459. 20:31healing. One of the most important is
  460. 20:33being community and actually opening
  461. 20:35yourself and understanding that you are
  462. 20:36not alone. That we all are struggling
  463. 20:38somehow.
  464. 20:40But I always believe that there is a
  465. 20:42toolbox. We all all have a toolbox
  466. 20:46that we can share of different tools
  467. 20:48between each other because we've been in
  468. 20:50different states all of us and maybe
  469. 20:52somebody already went through what
  470. 20:54you're going right now. And that's the
  471. 20:56part just opening your mouth heals. We
  472. 21:01always try to find something outside
  473. 21:05to make us feel better. And that's what
  474. 21:08I also call the spiritual bypassing
  475. 21:11that happens a lot is like researching
  476. 21:13researching and looking out there when
  477. 21:15you're actually just putting a lit on
  478. 21:18the real issue. I would say that uh
  479. 21:22having valid being validated from
  480. 21:24outside it's not going to work uh
  481. 21:27because as soon as somebody or something
  482. 21:30that validates you disappears again
  483. 21:33meeting true self you're alone like and
  484. 21:37unless we would be able to be sort of
  485. 21:43content and calm with ourselves it's
  486. 21:47never going to stay. Yeah.
  487. 21:51Yeah. As I there's a lot of talking and
  488. 21:54that's also one of the biggest issues.
  489. 21:57Everything is just talk talk talk talk
  490. 21:58talk talk talk. But how much of the
  491. 22:00words that you're using and you're
  492. 22:02saying are you actually meaning it or
  493. 22:05are you walking with the words? Are you
  494. 22:08doing what you're preaching?
  495. 22:10And you can see in the world where we
  496. 22:12are right now, it's constant talk and
  497. 22:15push down others and
  498. 22:19so you gain more power and more egos and
  499. 22:23more things that that's not the way. The
  500. 22:26way is staying community and remembering
  501. 22:29that we come
  502. 22:32and we are nature and that disconnection
  503. 22:34is what's ripping apart everything.
  504. 22:37They're not taking care of all what
  505. 22:40nature is giving us.
  506. 22:41Would you like to tell some more about
  507. 22:44what's going to do and especially like
  508. 22:46Hiatus is coming. Uh any plans for that?
  509. 22:50Which plans? uh after after high concern
  510. 22:53uh okay this thing of that's actually I
  511. 22:56try to live very in the present moment
  512. 22:59and it's a thing that I very related to
  513. 23:02uh plans keep sharing keep spreading
  514. 23:06seeds of awareness uh so we continue
  515. 23:10questioning ourself
  516. 23:13is it truly usually me or is something
  517. 23:17imposed by somebody else or any other
  518. 23:19tradition or whatever it comes comes
  519. 23:21from
  520. 23:23and spreading seeds of awareness that
  521. 23:27there's been people out there that's
  522. 23:29been always there
  523. 23:32and they are still here.
  524. 23:34traditions,
  525. 23:39medicines,
  526. 23:42ways of living and there's
  527. 23:46ways of
  528. 23:49seeing that and a lot of the the things
  529. 23:52that I'm also trying to to share
  530. 23:56constantly is let's appreciate more
  531. 23:59instead of appropriate.
  532. 24:02Others don't have the privilege of just
  533. 24:04traveling around.
  534. 24:06And what I've seen a lot is people
  535. 24:09travel to one point, they see something
  536. 24:12that they feel that they have to share
  537. 24:13it to the world and then they take it
  538. 24:15from it. But they actually not walking
  539. 24:18with the words.
  540. 24:20They're just making profit out of it and
  541. 24:23not even making a
  542. 24:26repro or how do you say that? that is
  543. 24:29giving and receiving and it's a it's a
  544. 24:32circle of thing. It's just we take it
  545. 24:33out and then that was it.
  546. 24:37The one plan that I know that is
  547. 24:38happening is they're following some
  548. 24:41tours. There's some musical projects
  549. 24:42that are quite interesting that I know
  550. 24:44that's
  551. 24:46yeah some fun stuff that at one point
  552. 24:49you you will hear about them. And then
  553. 24:53also Vidaya the retreat that is
  554. 24:56happening in 2026
  555. 24:58where it's already confirmed that we're
  556. 25:00working with the same titas and mamas
  557. 25:05that we are actually working now with a
  558. 25:08beautiful organization that is
  559. 25:09protecting the a 2% of a forest in in
  560. 25:13Ecuador that all the rest has been
  561. 25:16ripped down and is the only one the only
  562. 25:18forest from the Pacific. So, we excited
  563. 25:21about continue spreading the word that
  564. 25:24there's
  565. 25:26there's good things happening out there.
  566. 25:27It's not everything
  567. 25:31as you probably see constantly. Turn off
  568. 25:34your phones, turn off your TVs, and get
  569. 25:37out. Get out and enjoy
  570. 25:41the people that you love and enjoy
  571. 25:43nature.
  572. 25:45Nature will always prevail.
  573. 25:48and RP also my project
  574. 25:53as I mentioned before is kind of a
  575. 25:54snowball that it also melts in the
  576. 25:56process and it's a constant learning but
  577. 25:59that's what I love to share
  578. 26:02working one-on-one with people to make a
  579. 26:04bigger collective healing
  580. 26:07the Suruna circles I'm going to be now
  581. 26:09in Birka tattoo festival I got invited
  582. 26:12there by them it's going to be very nice
  583. 26:15I'm sharing there three spaces on the
  584. 26:18three days. So, I'm looking so much
  585. 26:21forward. That's what I love. I love to
  586. 26:22be with people, like-minded people that
  587. 26:24we're walking or maybe not to the same
  588. 26:27direction, but we can talk together. We
  589. 26:30can share our opinions without pushing
  590. 26:32anybody down. And that's what I feel
  591. 26:34that is lacking a lot. the side of
  592. 26:36respect and love and standing with the
  593. 26:40roots and understanding a little bit
  594. 26:43more
  595. 26:45of who we are as human beings
  596. 26:50and not just a simple robot doing just
  597. 26:53because somebody told us.
  598. 26:56So yeah, it's quite a long answer for a
  599. 26:59lot of things because exact project I
  600. 27:01think I mentioned a a few dates but I'm
  601. 27:04trying to live as much as I can in the
  602. 27:06present moment
  603. 27:08and for example now we are on tour and
  604. 27:10if I have like everything scheduled I
  605. 27:12will be a little bit all over the place
  606. 27:14maybe hanging out probably also with Kai
  607. 27:17in some woods around here.
  608. 27:20So yeah, it's
  609. 27:22quite a question
  610. 27:23actually. Very interesting answer and a
  611. 27:27lot of insights about yourself. Thank
  612. 27:29you so much for this interview and uh
  613. 27:32good luck with the tour.
  614. 27:33Thank you so much. Thank you for your
  615. 27:35time and thank you for opening spaces
  616. 27:38that is not just about one specific
  617. 27:40thing that is more open to who we are
  618. 27:45and I think that the world needs more
  619. 27:47about that hearing that there are
  620. 27:49different opinions and it's okay to have
  621. 27:51them with respect and love.
  622. 27:55Thank you so much. Appreciate I have to
  623. 27:58practice.
