"May my love be as consistent as the sun's rays, May my discipline be as steady as a hawks gaze,
May my joy be as expansive as the silence when the drum is done. And may my life be a prayer extending the edge of the soul in everyone."

Listen to Holly’s Album
The Untouched Soul
The Untouched Soul represents that invincible part of us that remains unscathed. It's our "Bare Bones and Natural Beauty," wild and powerful with innate instincts. This essence often gets lost amidst intense pain but yearns to return. Holly's music caters to lost souls and free spirits, with chants resembling rain and sunlight on window panes.
Each song is "captured" in her heart while she drums with the spirit-winds, offering a prayer and promise to the listener—a drop of nectar to fortify the soul's journey.
Shaman Songs are not flawless; they emerge from shamanic trance states meant for healing both people and the planet. Embrace the irregularities, varying breaths, and occasional off-key notes, as they are integral to the magic of any shamanic journey. Relish in the rawness and natural beauty to find inspiration.
The album features 10 tracks: 6 blend drum and vocals, 1 is an acoustic invocation, and 3 are drum-only for deeper shamanic exploration. For optimal meditation, listen with headphones. Each song is Holly’s prayer for both personal and planetary healing.

“Her Spirit leads and it is Beautiful. Holly Baade is truly gifted, and does not take her duty lightly, she holds it near, dear and pure. She is a true Healer and Master Shaman. My Sprit spoke to her and she listened. The Spirit of my unborn child spoke and she understood. I was in turmoil a week ago. My baby was breach and I was near homelessness... In one week of following Holly's instructions, and 2 Shamanic sessions, my baby has flipped to a head down position. Sometimes we need help, And that's okay! Not only is it ok it's human. We are not meant to do everything alone. I am so thankful to have a Teacher like Holly. She reawakened a sweetness in me I didn't even know was lost. If you have felt lead to her in any way, please, please do not hesitate to reach out to her. If you need to find your-SELF, she can show you a way...and much, much more.”

Reflections while studying Tai Chi, Hsing-I and Bagua in Taiwan
The only other thing I can really offer for a moment of advice is this - surrendering to our higher spirit’s will and that of God’s for our life is truly the only way to find the feeling of “freedom” on the inside. There is not way out - only a way through to where we all get there to the place we are going. None of us gets to just get-by. We all must try. When we hold hands and step across the line from fear to faith together, we will find a whole new world in this material realm. It will become the one we remember in our hearts and minds from another…. time.
Pele’s Gift
Right away figures in white with no faces or really bodies, just white-light, came towards me and as they touch me my clothes melted away. I then felt bathed in the white energy that pervaded the cave. When this purification moment crescendoed, the beings in white slipped a lovely white lace dress over my head-top.

Spirit Matters
In front of our eyes, are frozen forms. Forms of people, forms of trees, forms of animals, forms of thoughts in the way of words. All are frozen, captured if you will in "this" moment. By the time we see something, we are seeing an effect of that which has moved through the form. And it is already on its way to becoming something else.
What am I to Want?
I am on a ship of sacred Hawaiian warriors. We are as an arrow on the seascape aiming toward the good, although I have no idea where that is. The journey begins with the drum in my hand, singing.
Musings on the Nature of the Shaman’s Territory
We are one soul, on the edge of becoming. We exist in physical form, and also as pure energy. As we expand the edge of soul through our uniquely personal expressions of existence in all of its variety, we intertwine our wants, desires and actions to manifest collectively what tomorrow brings, today. For everything we agree, we see, we are, we become enveloped in. Then we get lost in the story of our own creating. We can’t find out how to make it better, because we are looking for something outside ourselves to fix it. But there is nothing to fix, except how we see it.
Out of Order
We share the same density of the earth. There is no separating ourselves from it. Even if we were to fly off into outerspace, then space would be what we are apart of. Oneness is not an illusion, it is frighteningly real. There is no place to hide or to die to. We are always, consciousness, right here.
A Light (and Owl Goddess) in the Darkness
So I started to sing my power song. And as I sang, visions of those people and those places which I loved and wished to bless – to acknowledge the spirit of – came flashing across my vision and my heart opened and opened and I sang and sang. And I thought, somewhere in the middle of this how this song originated as a melody heard in my heart, just for me. To remind me, if I got lost, how to find my way home. My way back to the light of divine connectivity.
Out of Body in Belize
My body was on the bed, but my consciousness was above myself on the roof of the bungalow. I sped through the roof and out towards the stars and found myself flying with the eagle over peaks and tall pine trees. I found myself thinking that although I felt like this was all real that I must really just be asleep. I could feel my body still asleep on the bed. I could feel the bluster of wind blow by my face as I flew and then ran on the tips of trees. I tried to convince myself that I must be dreaming, even though it felt real because this was so weird. But how could I even be dreaming that I was dreaming?
Spirit Wind
I sat down for a moment, drank some water and began peeling a tangerine when all of a sudden I heard a rusting in the bushes over my right shoulder. At first, I thought it might be a small animal – but then the rustling noise and movement of leaves expanded to perhaps 6 inches across. It sounded like it was building momentum. That’s when it hit me. A burst of Wind.
