LUMIN Music is inspired and influenced by sacred Kirtan, artists like Sigur Ros, Moby, Mum, and MC Yogi, the spoken word works of Leonard Cohen, Jack Kerouac, and William S. Burroughs, and the meditative co-creations of Ram Das and East Forest.

LUMIN is a way of living and being in the world. It’s about feeling good, having fun. It’s a rooted, rising progressive synchronicity of breath, movement, and relaxation awareness.

HeartSong

HeartSong is the sonically soul-inspired co-creation of Ryan Allen (Lumin), Angie and Shawn Blomberg (Ultra Violet Fever), and percussionist Simon Ferrell. HeartSong performs regularly throughout northwest Iowa and the surrounding regions to bring audiences a rejuvenating, revitalizing reminder that this universe is forever conspiring in their favor, the planets have aligned, and the stars are basking in their glow. We practice listening and feeling, breathing and being. We practice resting and being comfortable and supported and experiencing the bounty that is YOU, the joy that is YOU, the grace that is YOU. You’re the ONE you’ve been waiting for. It’s YOU!

Do you hear it? The sound of your vibration. The hum of your frequency dancing. The harmony of your pulse. We can’t wait to help you put your finger on it! No experience required. Open and accessible to all.

Palimpsest

PALIMPSEST is a journey. It is a tribute to teachers, to the influences and inspirations who light our way home to ourselves. It is an adventure of the mind, body, and spirit through time, space, imagination and identity to the center of the heart.
It is an ambient, sonic, guided spoken word meditation and yoga nidra practice designed to help you tap into your creative consciousness, attune to your own divine frequency, and to feel the akashic flow of cosmic communication and sacred internal wisdom between the Source and the Self.
palimpsest is a manuscript or piece of material on which the original content has been erased or effaced to make room for something new, but that still leaves traces of the older original behind. This is us. There’s that part of each of us, deep within, that has always been, still is, and always will be world without end. It’s what connects us to the whole of creation, the alpha and the omega, and all of life in-between. There’s that part of each of us which is infinite. Palimpsest is a reminder of this holy gift and an exploration of how the boon of its bounty can be felt and found, lived and loved, breathed and believed, and transformed from intention to manifestation.
This four-track palimpsest can be experienced individually or collectively, as it represents a day in life, from morning to night, and from life to death to rebirth, in an exploration of breath and body designed to awaken your awareness and connection to your loving heart. There’s sankalpa and sama vritti, rotation of consciousness and visualization, affirmation and mantra practices, and an opportunity to unite with your Spirit’s guides and teachers and to be in communion with all of Life.

LUMIN Closer To It

Closer To It

CLOSER TO IT is a journey home to the deepest parts within. Expressed lyrically as the poetry of meditation and transformation, and sonically as the music of ambient Americana, CLOSER TO IT embodies the adventure of self-discovery and the dance of self-expression, and the awakening into a personal mythology that makes the unconscious conscious, the unknown known, and the dream a reality.

Thematically, CLOSER TO IT is an immersion—into love, into land, and into the co-creative forces that weave and bind and tangle us all together. It’s a love story—about marriage, family and parenthood, but also about place and our relationship to space. It’s about the moments of awareness that inform and ultimately define our sense of identity, and the evolution of intention into manifestation, of thought into thing.
