E27 | La Huaira | Making Beautiful Ruins: Artistry as Ceremony, Medicine, & Revolution
“I feel that my exhalation is my artistry; it’s how I give back to this life.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
In this intimate and soulful conversation, Huaira shares the essence of her artistry, exploring what it means to live in devotion to creativity, self, and Earth. Together, we journey through the beautiful terrain of her life, touching on the joys and challenges of answering the soul's calling, honouring natural cycles, and embodying artistry as both a healing force and an act of resistance.
Huaira reflects on the sacred interplay of joy and grief, the profound responsibility of self-love, and how music has saved her time and again. We explore the tension between open-heartedness and guardianship, the rooted wisdom of Indigenous perspectives, and the essential dance of light and dark in witnessing the Divine.
Through her words, she offers a prayer for humanity’s harmonization with Earth, guided by curiosity, humility, and a shared commitment to future generations. Her stories, insights, and songs call us to honour the sacredness of our breath, our creativity, and our interconnectedness with all of Life.
