The Sound of Healing

'This Is Me' by Sierra Marin

What if a song could hand you back your voice? We sit down with revolutionary artist and producer Sierra Marin to trace the unlikely journey of “This Is Me,” from a women’s production retreat in Costa Rica to a chorus written during the hardest days of a codependent relationship. Sierra opens up about turning perfectionism and heartbreak into fuel for sovereignty, how self love moved from a concept to a daily ritual on the page, and why devotion to ancestors, land, and service keeps her music honest and alive.

We dive into the boxes she broke—family expectations, linear career scripts, and the industry’s narrow image of a female artist—and the way surrender became a superpower when willpower hit its limits. Sierra’s stories of hitchhiking with a guitar, busking for every dollar, and writing every day reveal how pain can be portal, not prison. Wonder is her compass: rainbows, clouds, community, and the radical act of protecting space from the pull of the phone. She shares concrete ways to guard that spaciousness so inspiration has somewhere to land.

Then the room shifts as we talk Revelation Breathwork. Together with the Medicine Women of Soul, Sierra stepped into an online session where a hand-curated playlist acted as temple walls, each song a portal to memory and courage. We unpack how breathwork can meet plant-medicine depth while keeping you grounded and sovereign, and why experiencing music somatically changes how it heals. We close with a warm invite to our upcoming live online breathwork ceremony and a spotlight on Sierra’s new single, “New Earth, New Day.”

SPEAKER_03:

So, welcome back to another episode of The Sound of Healing. Today's guest is the incredible Sierra Marin. So excited to have you on. Thank you so much for being here, Sierra.

SPEAKER_01:

Hi, I'm so grateful to be here, Jason. Thanks for having me.

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, Sierra is a part of the Medicine Women of Soul that we're going to do a collaboration, Revelation Breathwork experience with. And so we're going to dive into a song with each of these amazing artists. And today we're focusing on songs that we've played in our Revelation Breathwork class and people love to breathe to. And Sierra's song, This Is Me, is definitely one of those. Before we get into and listen together, I'm going to share a little bit about Sierra. Sierra Morin is a revolutionary artist, musical, medicine woman, and producer rising from San Diego, Go Padres, with deep roots in Hawaii. Crossing genres of reggae, hip-hop, and folk, Sierra creates music that is both irresistibly catchy and profoundly healing, an offering of remembrance, gratitude, and awakening for these potent times of transformation. She's headlined major transformational festivals like Lucidity and Playthink open for artists like Londrell and Purangi, and helped raise over a quarter million dollars for indigenous and ecological projects through her work. Through it all, she stays anchored in devotion to her ancestors, to the land, and to the power of music as medicine. Let's dive in and listen to This Is Me, and then I want to ask you some more questions about it. So here we go. So beautiful, so authentic, the lyrics, so powerful, so inviting. Thanks for sharing that with us in the world.

SPEAKER_01:

Thanks, Jason. It's an honor.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Well, let's dive like let's dive into it. What was going on in your life when when you wrote This Is Me or It Came Through? Or, you know, give us the origins of the song, please.

SPEAKER_01:

Cool. Um so authenticity is the high value to me, so I'm gonna be honest and not uh authentic with it. But uh the lyrics, okay, let's start with the production. So I produced the song too, and uh I produced all my music and and I actually produced this song like years before the lyrics came through and like started to write it and had and then kind of put on the back burner. But when I wrote, when I produced this, the melody and stuff, I was in uh I was in Costa Rica at a women's retreat, a music production retreat called the Shakti Sound Retreat. And it was like such a huge moment in my life. It was my first time like flying out of the country by myself and then like going on this beautiful jungle retreat center with 60 women for 10 days, all learning how to produce music. And it was just like so epic. Like, um, yeah. I I did like some really simple music production stuff when I was like a teenager. And then as I started to really get into music, I I started to kind of outsource my production. And I worked with a couple of different producers, and they just these guys just like I felt like weren't honoring the sound of like what I could hear. And so I was just like, I need to do this, and the opportunity came. So that was a really beautiful experience. And um yeah, I I don't know if I even wrote I hadn't written any of the lyrics yet. And so a couple years down the road, I'm sitting in a crystal shop that I was working at here in Carlsbad. One of my best friends, this woman from Zenia from Romania, she she owns this crystal shop called the Village Rock Shop. And I was working part-time there. And uh I was in a relationship for five a five-year relationship, and we were deep in it, you know, living together and stuff. And there was a there was a lot of unhealthy patterns in that relationship and a lot of um codependency and a lot of, to be frank, narcissism. And um, I hate to throw that word around, but yeah, I was in a really rough place of feeling like I couldn't be myself with this person. And it was it was a pretty intense journey, but grateful for it. I feel like we kind of we kind of choose these journeys, those like shadowy, difficult things, only to like rise up stronger on the other side of it. So um that day I was having I had a really tough morning with my ex. And so I went to work and I was sitting there and had my journal out, and I was just like almost like grasping for any sense of like the true me and my own self and who I truly know myself to be. Um and yeah, there was this beat on, and I just started writing, this is me living my truth, this is me, healing wounds from my youth, this is me loving myself, this is me working on my health and just claiming it, claiming myself. Um yeah, and then not long after that, the beat re-emerged out of my computer, and I put the lyrics to it, and then that ver that chorus came through, and and uh yeah, it was really awesome. And it's really funny because I remember when I showed my ex the song, all that he got out of it was me, me, me, me, me. That's all I care about is myself, which is a telltale sign of like the energy that I was uh dealing with. Um yeah, empowerment is so important to me and such a high value. So yeah, that that was the journey with the song, and and it's been so cool now getting to see as I tour, I've had women come up to me crying and in tears about that song and how it's assisting them in their awakening, it's assisting them in their, you know, reclamation of their of their power. And that's like that's why I make music. So super stoked on that. And it's pretty cool how like my own journey, you know, like it's it was fully authentic to me. Um like my just heart's so open and and that that can like ripple out in the art that we create, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

Love that. Oh my goodness. Yeah, what you're sharing resonates so deeply. Like most great art comes from our, you know, the artist's own struggles and pain and inspirations and the depths of the human experience. And you're really sharing how you honored that. And getting lost in relationship and how that brings up everything, and just reclaiming yourself and who you are and how that came forward, and also just the beautiful artistic process of a of a beat and a melody and what you made years before. You had no idea that years later would become this expression. And the next question usually is what's the response been? But you j you just shared that, how impactful it's been to so many people hearing this message.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, it's it's been so beautiful to see the ripples come back, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

Can we dive into some of the lyrics? Because the lyrics are really powerful. Sure. Like this is me loving myself. What is what does self-love look like to you and has it how how has it evolved over the years, maybe as you've grown?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so uh I think self-love is one of the most important things for the evolution of humanity and for us to even like make it on this earth. Um it's so yeah. It's so important. And again, similarly, you know, growing up, I was uh I had a lot, I dealt with a lot of depression and a lot of a lack of self-love, a lot of insecurities, and you know, feeling like I was supposed to fit in. And it was deep, deeply, you know, embedded in my in my psyche, the the idea that I needed to be. Um yeah, I think ultimately it's like wanting to be seen for who we truly are, but it's like when we're young and we're still learning like what that even is. It's just like it's rough out there, man. Like young teenage girls can be so, so tough. And um, yeah, so it's been a lifelong journey of loving myself deeper and deeper and finding the practices that help support that. And music is one of the greatest. And writing, you know, for me has been a huge way to like restructure my mind, restructure the ways that I think and uh create my life, my existence, like literally writing love letters to myself, like over and over throughout the journey has been really beautiful. And uh yeah. Was that did that answer the question? Self-love. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, self-love.

SPEAKER_03:

You have another line. This is me breaking all the boxes. And so what are some of the boxes that you've broken free from personally, creatively, spiritually?

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, a big box, or maybe a small box that I've that I've broken out of was I think just societal norms. Like I was just saying, like the idea of what our journey is supposed to look like and supposed to be. Um I knew I wanted to make music from uh the time I was like eight years old. But you know, there was the idea like this is just a hobby. Like, you know, you gotta get good grades, get into a good college, do the dir d-dr. Um and I did all that. But music just came back through. Like there's there was no denying. I think that like when we're really walking our soul's path, it's like it's who we are, it's not what we do. It's like it's how we breathe, you know, like what what you're doing, I'm I'm sure, you know. It's just like it doesn't become a job. It's like a it's a devotional path in that way, especially being like in service to something greater than ourselves. And uh I think that's what I was searching for for so long in my life. And a lot of hardship brought me there, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. And uh so that was one box. Breaking out of yeah, the idea of who or what I'm supposed to be. And then gosh, yeah, relationship.

SPEAKER_03:

What were some of the pressures trying to keep you in the box as you started to kind of break out? Was it like anyone like your parents or people you knew, or like oh, like you know, what were some of the pressures trying to keep or is it your own internal dialogue?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, that's a great question. Um I think that a huge I think ultimately it was my creation. And I think that everything is ultimately our own creation. Um we we see the world as we are, right? And but I, you know, there was there was definitely some deep expectations in my family. So I had like my dad was very much like his and his family was very much like, you know, you go to college and you do that, do the thing. And good grades were like a huge deal. Like when I was growing up, like if I would get like a B on anything, my dad would always jokingly but not jokingly say, What happened? And it traumatized me. So this perfectionism came so strong into my field of like so much self-expectation. And I just remember so many tears, so many like horrible nights of like, yeah, not feeling good about myself because of this grade, because of this like linear measurement of what, you know. Um so family, and then oh yeah, so and it's interesting because then my mom, like, my mom went to college at Evergreen and studied miming, and she's a clairvoyant psychic. So her and my dad, they have the same birthday, they're both Tauruses, but they're like opposites um in their paths. And yeah, so I always kind of was like, well, my dad's past like energetically seems like it's more safe because it's you know, like that illusion of control in society. Um, but that's not really my path. So I I realized with time as I tried to pursue that, that like my path is not linear. Yeah, I'm here to do something different that's not been done before. Um, so that that's a liberating remembrance. And I think breaking out of the box, out of all the boxes is it's waves, you know? And I think that's part, it's like part of the the breath of life, the breath of becoming, right? Like the in-breaths and the outbreaths. Like we'll we'll go down a certain path and then maybe start to have a little bit of expectation or allow any somebody else's expectation come upon that, and then realize, oh, this this feels sticky. This doesn't feel like me, and then we'll let go of that and like go to this next chapter. And um, yeah, relationships too have been a big, a big catalyst for like really quantum leaps of growth.

SPEAKER_03:

Aaron Powell Yeah, that's what they in my experience, like there's two parts to relationships. One is to share in the loving, and two is to to use as a catalyst for growth, whether growing together or just you know, growing, growing apart, or just growing individually. So I would imagine that comes in your music as well.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that is true. Okay, good point. So that's another box. It's like this the mainstream industry frequency of what it is to be an artist, what it is to be a musician, what it is to be a female musician, um, the ways in which I carry myself, the ways in which I show up, what feels in integrity to me. Um and knowing that what's good, what works for somebody else might not work for me, and that's beautiful. That's art. It feels good to remind myself that along the journey and and and rock that, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Love that. And that that's a good segue to the next lyric. This is me surrendering to love. What does that look like in your life surrendering to love?

SPEAKER_01:

I believe that love is the most powerful force in the universe, and ultimately we are love. That is what we are, that is our essence, that is that is life. Like the expression of life unbridled is love. And that's yeah, it's so beautiful, like the ineffable quality of what love is, you know. Love to me is God, God is love, and I'm here to remember that within every cell of my being in the most unconditional way, and to emanate that in every way that I can through through music, through these frequency waves, out into all of creation, through just my presence as a friend, as a daughter, as a sister. And um yeah, lifting up love. Love is love is the truth and surrendering to that to me feels like becoming one with all of creation and becoming the song concept came through recently, and I started working on it with some friends, and the concept is surrender to your power. And I had just like a quick visual. I I played a show with this band, Yaima, recently, they're amazing, and uh I'll be just looking around this music venue at all these beautiful people and feeling myself like becoming more of the woman that I am and just like showing up in these situations where like young me would be like, Why are you beating me? And uh just seeing like we have to show up, obviously, for our path and our purpose, but there's such a level of surrendering that has to go along with that, you know? Like we cannot, we cannot will our way into our dreams and our destiny. We can, it's a part of it, but we have to allow the dance of great spirit and great mystery, and that's where the surrender comes in. I think that's like the di the feminine way. Um, and there's been definitely chapters in my life where I've just like taken a leap of faith out of everything that I knew and was comfortable with and surrendered to the mystery, and every time so much magic and miracles come from that and so much growth.

SPEAKER_03:

Wow. And and is there fear in that, like before you make that decision or in that process?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yeah. Always it's yeah, it's what we do with it, right? Like we can we can face it. I think that's one of the ultimate alchemizing tools in this life that we have. It's like using fear as a as a teacher, maybe a little bit of a guide, but more of an indicator of where where parts of us need more love, um, parts to lean into, really. And learn.

SPEAKER_03:

Love that. Well, you kind of talk about this next one, but let's just see if what comes up. This is me, this is me remembering the magic. So how do you stay connected to that sense of magic and wonder and mystery? And what what maybe disconnects you from that?

SPEAKER_01:

Um okay. Wonder is one of my favorite words ever and one of my favorite feelings ever. And I think um like that inner child, um, bliss and ability to just see the world with like new eyes is one of my favorite qualities about myself, and something that is very important for me to continuously honor, even if I like sound like a fool. Just like, oh my god, look at that cloud. Like that. Yesterday I saw a rainbow and it was just like like it's so life is a miracle. And there's magic everywhere within us and around us. And I think the more we have eyes to see it and to acknowledge it, what we appreciate appreciates, right? It's like we'll just continue to get more of it. It'll it'll continue to reveal itself when we have the eyes to see um the magic. And for me, I I feel like making my art is really important, traveling is really important. It that helps me to see magic in life. Um, spontaneity, community, friends where that can see it too. Um and things that block the magic or my ability to see the magic would be getting stuck on my phone. That's a thing that I, you know, I I work with not doing that. Um like as an artist, you know, you gotta promote, you gotta, you gotta be on there. And so that's like a that's a challenge that I'm that I dance with and I'm still I'm still learning to master is like infusing the magic into my social media presence and my relationship with social media and like not getting lost in it because there's so much so much stimulation. I think that's really ultimately it's overstimulation because magic is like in the space, the spaciousness and our ability to see beyond lives in the spaciousness. And if we're busy processing information and processing what's going on everywhere in the world and with other people, like compassion always, always, always, but it's it's a dance, right? I think it's really important for us to learn how to and for me to learn how to like to safeguard my mind state so that I can create music that can help be a lighthouse for others who who need it.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I love what you just shared there. It's so important to and I think now more than ever, we need to really be intentional and create and cultivate that space because it's we're all busy, we all have things to do on our list, social media is so easy to get sucked in. And so what you're saying is so important to create the space so that you can receive the inspiration or the magic or the mystery instead of just always being in your head processing the information. Our next one, this is me learning from the tragic. So how is pain, you've shared a little bit, how has pain or loss served as a teacher for you? And how do you then use that without bypassing it?

SPEAKER_01:

Ah, oh yeah, that's juicy. Um, so gosh, plenty of examples of times where that has occurred, but it's cool. I feel like over over the journey of my life, I'm learning how like I'm getting quicker at seeing yeah, learning from the tragic, seeing things that seem to happen to me where it's so easy to go into the victim mindset. Um not to bypass, like you say, not to bypass pain, because pain is real and grief is real. And um, but to see that I'm not a victim to my pain, I'm not a victim to what someone does to me. Um but the emotional processing is absolutely crucial and also is a doorway into a deeper connection with myself and with God. Um yeah, I'm just gonna use my most recent example so that the relationship that I was in when I wrote this song actually um ended with some betrayal and uh affairs and all the things that were being had. And and uh I was, yeah, we were engaged, you know, I had like this vision, I had this idea that we were gonna spend our whole lives together, and and I was forcing it. Like it wasn't in my highest alignment, obviously, but like even within it I knew, but there was like something in me that was so stubborn and it was funny because I believe in love so strongly that I thought I could love another out of their trauma without them making that choice for themselves. Um so yeah, it's it's been a beautiful journey the past year, because that was a year ago when everything came through, and and it was so in conjunction with me taking some really big steps up in my own sovereignty and my own path of like um yeah, just leveling up energetically and spiritually, and then like everything that didn't, you know, align with that, which was primarily that relationship, was it was um yeah, I guess dissolved out of my life, and it had to get as bad as it had to get for me to learn the lesson I needed to learn and to finally bring my energy back and stop trying to change another person because that was that was a big lesson for sure for me. Um, but I feel like I learned it. And um yeah, so learning from the tragic. Like I give thanks. I give thanks for the difficulties that have led me to great leaps in growth. And like when I was saying earlier about relationships, it's like we grow so much in relationships, and at the end, I think is even more so a lot of time um almost like this like quick shot into like okay, where am I at? What am I creating? Um, what have I not been doing in my life that's really um in important to me, you know, and in my values, and um like so yeah, so Spirit has shown me shown me difficulty and pain, which have been doorways into yeah, really getting to know myself more and and learning how to surrender into the mystery even more. And um kind of a fun example was after I got a col got out of college, I was in a different relationship. We were together for like seven years and and we were in we were doing the thing, you know. And uh and that relation also ended in in whatever. I don't want to say cheating, but I should find a better word for it. But it just a lot of pain. And um it kind of jettisoned me into starting my journey traveling. And so I had just gotten out of college and I was uh living at home and working and drinking a lot and uh depressed and got a DUI while I was in that relationship. One night we like got in a fight and I drove and crashed my car. Like it was like a low point. So I had no car, no license. Eventually finally left that relationship, and it was like one of the lowest points of my entire life. And I just was like, I was like, I need to get out of here. And so I ended up heard about a place called Mount Shasta. I packed up my backpack, grabbed my guitar, uh I had my hula hoop, and I hit the road and I started catching rides and I started uh hitchhiking because I had no car. And um, I met some hippies at a festival that had a school bus, and they were like, Yeah, we're going to Mount Shasta. And I was like, Can I get on the bus? And they're like, sure. So I jumped on the bus and learned how to just like live on the road. And be this like nomadic traveling kid and dumpster dive and uh busk, which is street performing with music. And so from that point, I ended up spending about a year and a half just with me, my guitar, and my backpack, um, traveling all over mostly the western side of the US, um, hitchhiking, jumping on buses and busking. Every single dollar I made was with a guitar on a street corner, at a farmer's market, at a gas station, wherever I was. And um, that was like such a crucial piece of my growth and my learning to have faith in the universe, in music. I knew if I had my guitar that I would be okay, you know, and and it really and I would write every day. All I had to do was just create. That's all I'll there was no distractions, you know. I was just in presence in new places every day and writing and freestyle busking for eight hours a day. And that was like good training for me to come out of my shell and finally be like, you know what, I have stuff to say, and this feels good and this feels important, and um yeah, and that came out of a really painful experience that kind of like pushed me where I was like, okay, everything that I was holding on to that was not in alignment has literally exploded around me.

SPEAKER_03:

And so now it's wow, thank you for sharing that. So so real and authentic, and what a beautiful example of learning from the tragic. And it's so clear that you've used all of these challenging relationships and moments, like you've used them and they lead you to the next level of your own healing, awakening, expansion, evolution. And as a as a father now of of m of several young teenagers and one one in their twenties, like I can I can see because we I you know I believe it or not, I was I was young once too, those times where you're like living by the seat of your pants and you're like you're traveling, you're busking, like you're you're on your own, you're hitchhiking. Like it's kind of like, oh my gosh, that's so dangerous. But I also know like that was so like that's so important, that's so formative for your like you had to do that. It was just so just honoring that. And I also like maybe I hear my own voice through your father's voice and what he probably thought if he heard that you were doing some of those things. Or maybe he was like, hey, that's awesome, go for it. Um traditional side of me, maybe.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, thanks for that, Karen. Yeah, it w it was important. My parents were like oddly really supportive, and I feel like, you know, healing is not when we heal, it's not even just for the coming generations. I feel like it's also the past. You know what I mean? Like our parents, as I've healed, and like I've seen my parents like come into more of their sovereignty in interesting ways. And I think it was that was a part of it. They were like, oh, like you you can do that. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm grateful for their support, like pretty much the entire way. Like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03:

That's amazing. And that's the second time you've used that word, and that's the next lyric. This is me finding sovereignty. Like, what does that word mean for you? Um, yeah, what does it mean for you?

SPEAKER_01:

Um so sovereignty to me means that our answers live within us and within a field of consciousness that only we have access to. And when we live from that place, um miracles of healing happen and we can really like attune to our true north, then I feel like we can live our true purpose and what our our soul chose to come into this body in this time to do. Um, I think that it's easy to live a life doing what we think we're supposed to. We could spend a whole lifetime doing that. And I'm so grateful that the pain of not doing that was so severe for me that I had to switch it up. Um, and yeah, in in college, I studied psychology and indigenous studies, and I took a lot of um feminist studies classes, anthropology, black studies, um, and all I'm such a bigger picture kind of person. And I remember my last semester, I was just like, oh my God, I've spent four years studying all of the ways in which our sovereignty has been methodically stripped away on the planet. And and it just like pinged to me. That word was just like lit up in my mind of like, oh my god, I'm here to assist in the restoration of c of sovereignty on the planet, and I'm gonna do whatever I can um to do that. And right now, music is like the greatest way that I can do that. And and that's that's the intention behind everything I create and do.

SPEAKER_03:

Last quote that we're gonna talk about from This Is Me. This is me and I am you. Can you share more about that?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. Yeah, I think the more the more we grow and connect with spirit, the more we see that separation is a complete illusion. It's created by the mind. And just because I have this physical form and you have that physical form, like ultimately we all come from the same source. We all come from the one creator who decided to fractal out into infinite reflections in order to get to know herself and himself. And um yeah, we we have those moments in our lives, you know, where we meet someone and it's and we see ourselves in them. And I think that that's absolutely true. And anything that brings us closer to the knowingness of our oneness and our unity as one family, not even just on earth, all beings of all of creation, plants, animals, everything. We are we are all one. And uh to me, that's exciting and beautiful and a relief. Um, I think that ultimately what we seek as humans is connection. Um, I took a positive psychology class, and it's about the study of happiness in college, and that was the number one factor of happiness was social connection. They just actually released a study, I think it was from Stanford, maybe Harvard. Sorry if I got that wrong, but it was an 80-year study um taking individuals from the beginning of their life, a lot of them to the end, and the number one factor of not only happiness, but physical health in the long term is social connection, support. And I think that we seek we seek each other because we are each other. And when we're in spaces where we're in community, where we're breathing together, we feel at home because we're tuning back into the field of oneness that is the truth of who we are.

SPEAKER_03:

To masterclass and spirituality right now. I love this. Yeah. Love it. Thank you for sharing. Thanks, Jason. You recently, we recently did a group session with you and Malcolm and Sophia and Sister Stone of Revelation Breathwork. You know, the four of you were where I was facilitating. What was your experience like in that session? Had you done breathwork before? What was that session like for you? What was the experience like?

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, so um I had done, I've done simple breath work before. I've only I had only done one intensive breathwork session before that. And it was um at a friend's house with these beautiful souls, and um it they we began that that session with Sananga, the eye drops. Um and it was so painful and intense that like the whole experience for me, it was scary. Um, the my first experience. And so I was a little fearful going into it, and I'd been quite frankly avoiding going deep into another breath work session, but um, this opportunity came along and it felt so in alignment, and I was like, you know what, I'm here for this. I know it's like on the other side of fear is growth and expansion. And so um, yeah, it was it was so beautiful. I feel like I I went into it, yeah, with with no expectations and um and uh yeah, I remember we didn't know if I was gonna be able to make it, and I'm so grateful it all like aligned with our schedules and everything, and and uh yeah, the music was beautiful. Knowing that I was there with three other powerhouse huge heart sisters who were all going through our own stuff and just was so relatable. Um felt so beautiful. Like we're in this together, we're doing this work together, you know. And uh, but I also really actually liked being in my own space physically too. I felt like that was like a pretty cool balance, actually. Cause then I'm like, I'm in my own field, and you know, I felt safe to slow down if I needed to, and but also to like meet that, meet my edge with with what felt comfortable to me and like go a little further. Like that felt really cool. And yeah, I really loved the way that you held space and yeah, your divine masculine presence and just like gentle reminders along the way. And yeah, it felt it felt beautiful. I had I remember I had moments of I did have moments of revelation. Um just like the simplicity of like being gentle with myself. That was a big one that came through. And I had like my inner child come in. Um and I got to just like hold her. And it was so sweet. I got to shed some tears, and and yeah, it's amazing because I've I've done a lot of work with plant medicine, and it's pretty incredible um what what breath work how where breath work can bring us. And also how sovereign we are in that, you know, where we get to really um be really grounded in our clarity as we're doing it. And yeah, highly recommend it, and I'm excited to to do it again with you and with our community. And yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, you spoke to something I think that a lot of people maybe haven't experienced yet, which is the online component. Like the first time you did some kind of breathing process, it was in person, and this was online, and what I heard you say was there was something really lovely about you got to be in your own space, but with other people moving through this experience. So what would you say to people that maybe have only done in-person things and this is an online event?

SPEAKER_01:

Um, I would say this is like a create your own adventure kind of thing. Like where the space is also the space is being held, it's grounded, we're we're connected, and yet you can set up your, you know, your ceremonial space and get comfy and get cozy and set your intentions and and uh I think the potential to really do some work good work is is there. Um yeah, it's it's exciting, and I think this is a great opportunity for anyone who's interested.

SPEAKER_03:

And speak to the music element. So in this session that we had the the medicine women of soul, you each gave me songs that were meaningful to you, maybe inspired emotion, or you loved a song, or energized you, and then I crafted a playlist around music that you all loved, breathing to that. How did that enhance or how did that impact the the Revelation Breath Work session for you, breathing to that kind of music?

SPEAKER_01:

Um, I loved hearing and feeling the essence of what the other sisters chose. I thought that was really profound. And I could feel their hearts through that. Um, even though these weren't their songs, but it was like, you know, hand-picked. And um yeah, I loved it. Fine when the songs that I had chosen came on too, it was just like, okay, here we go. It's like another deeper portal. Like um, there was the the Wookiefoot song, Breathe. That song is so special to me. And Wookiefoot, the band, and the community that surrounds them is like absolutely changed my life. So that was just so sweet and so deep to to tune into that field. And yeah, I think the music ha plays such an important role. Like in any any ceremony, any plant medicine ceremony throughout the ages, music is just as important as the medicine itself. Um it's all vibration, right? And so we're basically creating with the songs this like temple space of vibration. And yeah, within that we get to we get to go a lot deeper. And I think the songs are kind of portals, you know, into different facets of ourselves and different facets of ourselves that that need healing, need reclamation, um, need to feel whatever whatever that is, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

So beautifully said. And that is a big part of the intention behind this experience that we're all co-creating together, which is your collectively, your you, Malka, Sister Stone, and Sophia Rain are inviting your communities as well as mine to experience your music in a deeper, somatic way. Where, like you said, oh, the Wookiee Foot song came on, and it just like lit me up inside because of my relationship with them and the music and the roles played in my life, and that's what we're offering to your communities and to people as a common experience for incredibly powerful, sovereign, deep artists and their music that you love, uh, and bringing in the breath uh into this experience. So I'm super excited and deeply honored to be just a part of this. And what what are you up to now? Where can people find you?

SPEAKER_01:

Um, people can find me online. Uh, my website is just Sierra Marin.com and Instagram, Sierra Marin Music. Find my music on Spotify or anywhere that you stream music. And uh I just uploaded a brand new song that's gonna be coming out on 1111 called New Earth, New Day. And I am so excited about this one. Um yeah, we're we're helping birth new the new earth as the old is very clearly crumbling around us. But we get to be these pillars and we get to hold on to yeah, the light and the love and the sovereign being within us. Um, and this work is just really important. So honoring anyone who's you know feeling the call to deepen and to connect with us, connect with the music. Uh, we'll all be there in the space with you. Um, so we're all gonna be connected and yeah, excited to see what's to come. Lots of magic.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, if you are a fan of Sierra's music, if you've seen her live, if you've never gotten to see her live because of where you live in the world, this is an opportunity to join to be with Sierra and the other medicine women of Seoul in a sacred space, beautifully held container where we'll all be there with a with a powerful intention to heal and to open. And it is Sunday, November 2nd, from 3 to 4.30 p.m. There's different tiers of tickets. So if you want to just come and experience there, there'll be a replay for people who can't attend live. If you have a standard ticket, you'll have access to that replay for a week. If you do the VIP ticket, you'll have lifetime access to the replay, as well as I think some of the m artists may share unreleased tracks with the VIP ticket holders, as well as there'll be a private uh QA after the breathwork session with all of the medicine women of soul and myself. So it'll be a really cool, unique experience and access. I have a bonus question for you.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

What is your experience with either aliens, Pleiadians, like that that realm of uh things happening right now, if anything?

unknown:

What?

SPEAKER_01:

Okay. Dang. Um, so okay, that song that I actually just uploaded, um, it has a little clip from Bringers of the Dawn in the intro. And Bringers of the Dawn is a channeled text by this woman, Barbara Marciniac, and she channeled the Pleiadians um back in the 90s, maybe, or 80s. I'm not exactly sure. But um, I resonate with Pleiades a lot, and yeah, it's not it's not just humans on Earth. There's so many interstellar, intergalactic beings that have worked with Earth beings for a very long time. There's records in all the ancient civilizations, and uh, if you look to like Pleiades, I specifically resonate with a lot. Um, Hawaiians believe they're from Pleiades, the Aborigines believe they're from Pleiades, um, a few of the North American tribes as well. Um and uh yeah, I'm excited. I have no expectations, but I'm I'm excited. And I'm here for here for the magic, and I'm so ready for everyone on earth to remember that we're one earth family. And I think that the conscious realization that there's so much more out there is gonna be really humbling and healthy for us to be like, wait a minute, okay, we're we're one family, we got this, and as we continue to evolve our consciousness, that's gonna just continue to happen naturally. Like, um, yeah, there's beings that want to help. And and we, I feel like we we have that within ourselves too, within our DNA and within our past lives. We've l I think we've all lived in many different planets and galaxies. And so yeah, I'm here for the the remembering of the one, the one family.

SPEAKER_03:

All right, we saved the best stuff for last, and maybe we'll have a part two to dive a little bit deeper. It's such a such a privilege and honor to have you on, Sierra. So grateful for you and who you are, and the art and the music and the frequency that you put out into the world. So thank you so much for being here. And I cannot wait for November 2nd. If you yeah, get your tickets. It's going to be an incredible experience. So thanks, Sierra.

SPEAKER_01:

Thank you, Jason, for having me and for bringing us all together and holding the space. This is such a privilege, such a blessing. And yeah, hope to see you there, guys.
