HONOUR ALL CREATION is a double-album of journey and ceremonial music to awaken humanity, honour Mother Earth as the living Goddess and sonic medicine to inspire mystical consciousness. These 22 songs offer themselves as diverse nodes of activation, from deep sound journeys, spoken word poetics, ambient electronic dance, earthy hip-hop, tantric balladry and more. These songs are intended for deep listening sessions, meditation, prayer, healing sessions and also to be used in ceremonial contexts, such as work with sacred plant medicines and righteous psychedelic use to expand human consciousness and enthuse our alignment with Source.
Darren received the vision for this album years ago during a revelatious ceremony with Mother Ayahausca. HONOUR ALL CREATION was a profound teaching he received; a credo of awakened human consciousness, harkening to fifth dimensional wisdom where all is embraced and universal truth is channelled to the heart.
After both performing at the Envision Festival and Sound & Silence Gathering in Costa Rica, Steffen Ki and Darren befriended each other after years of mutual admiration. They found themselves together in an oceanside retreat when the pandemic struck the world and decided, alongside Steffen’s beauteous partner and songstress, Maywa, to make Costa Rica their new home. It is there that Darren received guidance from his daily meditations with Mother Earth that it was finally time after years waiting to create the HONOUR ALL CREATION album project and that Steffen was the perfect ally to help him bring it to fruition. In allegiance with the spirits of the sacred land and in deep devotion to Gaia-Earth, Steffen & Darren joyfully co-created this magnus opus.
HONOUR ALL CREATION is deeply a devotional offering to restore a sense of GODDESS to our world. Darren has long been a student of indigenous and ancient wisdom and has been on a decade-long odyssey recovering his own indigenous ancestry as ancient European, specifically in Gnosticism and Druidry. There are many allusions on the album to SOPHIA the wisdom Goddess who is Mother Earth; the Great Mother of ancient mythologies who is also the mother of humanity. May these songs inspire us all to once again hold Goddess in our hearts, regenerating the virtuous sense of the sacred feminine in our understanding of the divine. As the Valentian Gnostics decried ‘the world was born of Sophia’s smile.’ It is time to remember Her. It is time to let Her wisdom reign and honour each other as Gaian, all children of the Earth.
Be sure to check Darren’s channel on YouTube for the accompanying music videos of sacred visual art made for the album. OF SPECIAL NOTE: in early 2021, Darren will also be launching the HONOUR ALL CREATION online course which will expand the powers of the album in an offering of 22 wisdom teachings to accompany each song, taking participants through a grand initiation through song, healing sounds and spiritual teachings. This will also coincide with the opening of the GAIA AWAKENING SCHOOL, an online institute of eco-spiritual wisdom…
