When I was putting together this mix, I started thinking about what the Finnish word “jouten” means to me, which roughly translates to do absolutely nothing: to relax, to lounge around. I was imagining myself laying on a sunny field with the sun flickering through a birch tree’s leaves. Surrounded by the sounds of nature and its tiny creatures, drowsing off into a sweet summer dream and traveling in my mind to hear stories from around the world and from the earth below me. All creatures and spirits of the Earth joining for this empowering journey of connection, joy, dance and togetherness.
