We have lots of projects happening on the 3sidedwhole farm.
TOTEM, a New Mexico blues/funk/reggae band that jams
in all three styles, will be opening the benefit concert series
at 3sidedwhole March 21 to celebrate the Spring Equinox.
TOTEM features the original music of Issac Barbosa, who
also sings, and the awesome drumming of veteran musician
Cody Jones, the world class harmonica of Danny the Harp, with
Lead guest guitar by Lon Kalamka, a space guitar virtuoso.
TOTEM has been playing together for several years and
has rocked many celebrations with their awesome new material
and entrancing rhythmns. Issacs songs are captivating and
personal and cause you to really listen while feeling compelled
to move.
Totem can be auditioned at

Drblue went to his first 3Sidedwhole event over ten years ago
where he met Chance when she accidently knocked him to
the ground, picked him up, looked into his eyes and gave him a kiss.
Together they have been partners and family
leaders for the SidedWhole community, Kosmic Trading Post
and family home for over a decade now.
Drblue has a PhD in clinical and experimental hypnosis from
Washington Univerisity with an internship at Harvard Childrens Hospital.
He has taught clinical and medical hypnosis all over the world
and currently teaches human development with Chance in China
Bali, Guatemala and Indonesia. Together they are developing
new models of behavior medicine based on TECHNOSHAMANISM
the merging of the ancient tools of shamans and the modern tools
of healing, including biofeedback, psychophysiology and
stress management. They focus on the pleasure of being well,
doing an ELATION CONSULTATION , and work with individuals
couples groups and communities. Drblue taught at the Esalen
Institute in Big Sur CA for many years and has trained thousands
of professionals to use advanced hypnotic approaches in medicine
psychotherapy and peak performance, including olympic athletes.
But his greatest joy is healing work through community celebrations,
where creating festivals done in sacred space and intention
the energy fields of consciousness can cometogether in the desert
wilderness of 3SidedWhole to help participants , in the words of
Jim Morrison, “break on through to the other side” through
music, dance, meditation, laughter yoga and other natural pathways
to flowing with the infinite.
