Chakaruna World Bridging Tour: A Journey of Sound, Movement, and Spirit
Prepare to embark on a transcendent journey with the world-renowned musician, healer, and educator Poranguí, as he graces Tucson, Arizona as the MSA Annex. Accompanied by the visionary co-facilitator Ashley Klein, they extend an invitation to an embodied experience that seamlessly bridges the seen and unseen worlds. Through the universal language of music, dance, and authentic expression, Poranguí’s live improvised performances and Ashley’s spoken guidance coalesce with captivating visual projections, promising an unparalleled odyssey that leaves us more whole, alive, and deeply connected.
The Chakaruna World Bridging Tour draws its inspiration from the ancient Quechua concept of "Chakaruna," meaning World Bridger. "Chaka" represents the Bridge, while "Runa" symbolizes the People, together reflecting the sacred duty of forging connections between the tangible and the intangible, the Earth and the Spirit, the individual and the collective. Poranguí and Ashley, through this tour, beckon us to step into our own roles as Chakarunas, intricately weaving our spirits into the vibrant tapestry of life and synchronizing with the pulsating heartbeat of the Earth.

Dive into the depths of your being and discover the hidden gifts within your shadows.

In this workshop, we will use the power of art as a tool for shadow work - uncovering, exploring, and integrating the hidden aspects of ourselves. Through guided meditation, intuitive drawing, and expressive art practices, you’ll learn how to give form to the unseen, release old patterns, and reconnect with your wholeness.
No art experience is required - this is about process, and authentic self expression, not perfection.
Together, we will:

Explore how shadow work can reveal unconscious blocks and gifts.
Express emotions and memories through color, shape, and form.
Transform pain, fear, and limitation into insight and empowerment.
Create artworks that act as healing portals and reflections of your journey.
By the end of this experience, you will not only leave with pieces of art, but also with practical tools and inspiration to continue your self-healing practice - finding beauty in the places you once feared to look.
