[PREVIEW] Music & Laughter Align Us To The Cosmos | Laraaji & Arji Oceananda | HITW Archives

About this episode

This episode features a conversation with new age musicians Laraaji and Arji Oceananda, celebrating the podcast's anniversary by revisiting early episodes.

Brought to you thanks to the support of the HITW Patreon community: http://patreon.com/howlinthewilderness This month, May 2026 marks the 8 year anniversary of the podcast. To celebrate this occasion, I thought it would be fun to reissue some early episodes from back when the podcast was called Medicine Path. Over the next few months I’ll be re-releasing some of those archival episodes that have previously only been available to paid Patreon members. What follows is my first in-person conversation with pioneering new age musician Laraaji and his partner Arji OceAnanda, recorded the day after their laughter workshop and sound meditation at the Never Apart artspace in Montreal, Canada back in June 2018.
