They write: “Life is a journey and all journeys finish at one level. After a number of years of intensive touring, Heilung has determined to retreat for some time.
“Heilung’s work has sturdy notations of conventional shamanism. Shamans retreat, typically very lengthy, to be reunited with their energy, their spirits; to recharge. If they might continually work, they might burn out, lose contact to themselves, their serving to entities and their mild.”
The band end: “Heilung retreats now. It’s going to vanish from the phases, the roaring drums can be silent and the ecstatic dance is over. It’s going to fall asleep, relaxation for a time and return stronger than ever earlier than.”
