About this Event

Embark on a transcendent journey with the world-renowned musician, healer and educator Poranguí, as he tours internationally in 2025. This embodied experience seamlessly bridges the seen and unseen worlds through the universal language of music, dance, and authentic expression. Poranguí’s live improvised performances, enriched with captivating visual projections, promise an unparalleled journey that leaves us more whole, alive, and deeply connected. On select dates, Poranguí’s live music set is complemented by Ashley Klein’s vocal guidance and live visual projections creating an unforgettable journey through the beauty of the earth and the tapestry of life.

This year, the Chakaruna World Bridging Tour draws its inspiration from the ancient Quechua concept of "Chakaruna," meaning World Bridger. "Chaka" represents the Bridge, while "Runa" symbolizes the People, reflecting the sacred duty of forging connections between the tangible and the intangible, the Earth and the Spirit, the individual and the collective. Through this tour, Poranguí invites us to step into our own roles as Chakarunas, intricately weaving our spirits into the vibrant tapestry of life and synchronizing with the pulsating heartbeat of the Earth.
