Every time I pick up my drum, something ancient rises behind me as well as within… My ancestors breathe down my spine. And with every song I sing, there is always an echo I feel behind , a voice that sings with me. My well-being lifts. There have been many ceremonies I’ve turned around to see if someone was standing there, only to realize it was the unseen elevated ones,supporting every beat.

We have so much guidance available when we tune our hearts antennas to it. Find it in the silence. Find it in the music. Find it in the small rituals that thread your days together. In a world full of fracture , betrayal, turmoil, righteousness mixed with confusion, and a collective forgetfulness, Find it in the simple needs that nourish our shared humanity, connection, our love. It is so easy to believe we are alone.
Easy to forget that this 3D reality is only one thin layer of existence. Yet we are wired to connect and be in relations to way far more…To the spirits of the Earth, of the Cosmos, and to the ones who walk with us even when we cannot see them.

There is a higher intelligence pulsing through everything …through music, through rhythm, through this moment, through this photograph. Deep gratitude for .pagano for this incredible art and the joy of being witnessed in this way. I feel honored especially for the temple that is my own body, my own heart, to be tended through her lens. Her devotion to her art pours through every frame.
This drum brings me home to Earth medicine, to the elementals who steady me. The ancestors who wish my well being…Thank you to the maker of this drum soul brother, artist, spirit listener whose hands shaped this from the Earth herself in my ancestral homelands of Anatolia. Teşekkürler 🙏🏽

These are tender times, friends and also glorious. Heartbreak is revealing what’s real. People we trusted fall away, and those we once pushed away rise as protectors. Nothing is quite what it seems. The old structures are breaking apart, and life keeps asking us to return to what’s true.
May we soften into that truth.
May this day open us for deeper connection, more honest abundance, and a wider capacity to share what we carry with those who need it most. May we choose inclusion over separation,remembering that, in the end, we belong to one human family.
May this art stir something in you… Tell me what you see here ???

::WORK PRIVATE WITH TUTKU ::
SOMA & SOUL INTEGRATION 1:1 MENTORSHIP 
( Virtual or In-Person )
 
This autumn, I’m opening spaces for a couple of one-on-one clients ready to journey deeper into their genius and creative expression. 
 
My private practice weaves together Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, a mindfulness-based, experiential, body-centered approach that explores how unconscious beliefs shape our present experience and helps us create new, embodied stories of self with the Innate Somatic Intelligence™️ Trauma Therapy (ISITTA) method, a somatic-integrative trauma integration modality grounded in the idea that the body holds an innate healing intelligence and that through embodiment, movement, and felt-sense awareness we can safely release + integrate trauma and awaken our inner wisdom.
 
Rooted in nearly 20 years of body-based mindful therapeutic practices in yoga, meditation, ceremony, and ritual, each session integrates the wisdom of the body with the intelligence of ritual, plant medicine, and presence guiding the nervous system toward regulation and wholeness.

My own signature creation, the QiTanYo Method, blends Qigong and Yoga Therapy with ceremony, elemental wisdom, and ritual, while incorporating therapeutic shadow integration work along side Mindful Structural Integration Bodywork as appropriate w/ in-person sessions.

I am currently offering 10-session commitmentsat a special autumn rate, as well as mentorship programs spanning 3 / 6 / 9 months. These immersive containers may include ongoing personal check-ins, private 1:1 ceremony, music and voice work, nourishment guidance, altar creation, plant allies, guide-work, shadow integration and Mindful Structural Integration Body Work when in person. 
Sessions are as powerful via Virtual as In-Person.
 
Each offering is crafted uniquely for you as an invitation to remember and craft and bring forward  the sacred architecture of your own being. Together, we listen to the language of the body, tending to what is ready to transform, so that your natural genius, essence, and creativity.

What is Sing Praise?

​​Sing Praise! is not your average song circle—it’s a q***r revival, a ritual of collective prayer and joy, led by music minister KJ Song.

​Sing Praise! is a place to wail, harmonize, stomp, and rise. It’s for anyone hungry for Spirit without the strings, for prayer without dogma, for a free voice that sings back, for a moment of communal aliveness that feels like YES.

This isn’t a concert and not a “vocal jam” — it’s a homecoming.

​This is a song SERVICE, curated by KJ, without any dogma or religious affiliation. It’s a place to let loose and sing songs that actually stir something deep. You don’t need to be “musical.” You just need to come.

​​We gather at Temple of Integration at 417 Broad St. B in downtown at 4:00.

​⚠️ Please be on time! ⚠️ and note that **doors will close at 4:10 to preserve the integrity of our container** We begin together. No late arrivals.

Please also be mindful of everyone’s health and do not attend if you are experiencing any cold symptoms 🤧

​​🌼 What happens here?

​​We sing. Accessible, spirit-stirring songs that loop and layer and hold us.
​​We bless. Ourselves, one another, the land beneath us.
​​We move and play. To remember we’re Alive.
​​We remember. That joy is holy. That q***rness is a prophecy. That the Earth is not waiting for us to be perfect. That we create the church we’ve been waiting for.

🌈 Who is Sing Praise for?
​*People who used to sing but forgot how.
*People who’ve never sung but always wanted to.
*People who miss the singing in church but not the rest...
*Anyone who wants to belong to themselves again.
*Q***r folks and allies who know that the power of prayer and praise belongs to everyone.
*People how want a little more ceremony in their song circles. Less warm up games, more prayer. We get down to it.
