February 2016 marks a big change in our lives: We are moving to Peru for an indefinite period of time. We have chosen to follow our hearts in response to the calling to immerse ourselves in the traditional medicine work of the Amazon Rainforest. We will begin our new journey with a two week fast at a Center for Research on Traditional Medicines, called TAKIWASI
This prestigious center has been bridging traditional and western medicine for nearly 40 years now; treating drug addition through a true therapeutic process of integrating spiritual and medical tools to get to the root of the issue, as well as providing a consistent research model to |
"revalue the human and natural resources of Amazonian traditional medicine."After a long interview process through letters and official documents, we are confirmed to partake in DIETA (click to read more). After this we are free to explore the Amazon and its mysteries, with our intuition and prior 3 years of experience guiding us, we feel confident that we will be safe and that we will find the perfect circumstances to support our learning process.

We are still working on our album and are aiming to release it within this blessed month of December.
This sharing of our hearts through music has taken on a new significance as we find ourselves growing nostalgic of even the most routine aspects of our day, with the knowledge that life will soon be looking very different. The spirit of a farewell embeds itself in the music as we record, motivating us to give our best efforts to the process.
The song "We are One" will not be on our upcoming album, but can be listened to and downloaded for free on soundcloud. Lastly we have compiled videos of memories from our experiences from the past few years and though it is mainly a farewell to our family here in New York, we'd like to share it with everyone who has had an exchange with us in one way or the other.
Love,
Zain and Zahra
