Our June Soundbath was full, and the energy lingered well after the room had emptied. For those who’ve experienced these sessions, you’ll understand: sound doesn’t end when the instruments stop. It continues. Beneath the skin, inside the breath, somewhere you can’t name.

That’s the place Mardi writes and comes from.

Her new Substack, Letters from the Deep, is a space to revisit what was felt in the room, and to travel a little further with the words that never made it into the music. Each post is part poem, part portal. Musings and transmissions of this work.

From her most recent entry:

A lucid dream
with no need to sleep
A softness that stirred
what was buried deep

The music was medicine
drawn from below
A current, a mirror
a letting you know

Where breath slows its rhythm
and thought steps aside
That’s where we landed
That’s where we find

The underworld’s hum
and the letting you go
The part of the self
that still needs to flow
