Imagine a train. There is a locomotive in front. Behind there are wagons. This train rides with music which is played by the train driver. That’s me. I am sitting with my guitar in the driver’s cab enjoying riding the music train with you.
The passengers – that’s you – are in the wagons. Everybody can purchase a ticket. Every month. Ticket prices range between 1 and 100 EUR/CHF/USD. The different ticket categories and payment options are explained below.
If you decide to get on board of the music train, you will receive a musical thank-you gift made by me at the end of every month. This is a thank-you gift for enabling that music can roll on. I think this is important. Very important, actually.
Let’s do this. The world needs music. A lot.
I like to live with trust.
And I believe that trust in life but especially in ourselves is what makes us much more coureageous and life so much more exciting, interesting, simply alive.
The lack of trust in ourselves is one of the biggest issues we are facing today. The subject of trust is something we are not being taught in school. It is mostly life that teaches us lessons about trust. These lessons mostly hurt. We call this “learning the hard way”. Instead, what we do learn in school is how to become maximally dependent on things, people, institutions outside of us. This leads us away from ourselves, more and more.
But we cannot continue our path into a more human, more loving, more caring world without being ourselves, without knowing ourselves, without trusting ourselves and thus learning, experiencing and enjoying that everything starts with us, with our inner spark, our inner fire. This is a journey. It takes time and patience. One step at a time.
The idea of the music train emerged out of the question how we collectively can strengthen trust in ourselves and at the same time have a really good time together.
The name of the train is «Xumbalu». The tracks have names, too. They are called – have a guess – «trust». The longer and further Xumbalu goes on these tracks the more trust is being shared all over the world.
And the fuel for the train? Music. Sitting in the driver’s cab I shovel music into the steam boiler that makes the train going forward.
Like this the train Xumbalu can go far and spread a lot of trust into our world.
But a train, especially a music train, is nothing without its passengers.
Therefore not only a train, fuel and a driver is needed but also and especially people wanting to travel and wanting to be part of this unique musical journey.
Imagine yourself sitting in such a train and travellling with music. Are you curious where and through which landscapes the train is going and if there might be some surprises along the journey?
Your music train ticket may satisfy your curiosity.
To transfer this to the running train: Get in and let us travel together. You purchase your ticket and become a passenger of Xumbalu, the Music Train. Like this we travel together on the tracks of trust. There are different ticket categories depending on how much you want and can spend for the ride.
In this categorie we stop at the Xumbalu blog station every month. This blog is exclusively written for the passengers of the Music Train. It won’t appear in any search engine. Thus it is kind of our “private stop”. In this blog I wanna write a little bit more than what I write with the newsletter or on the website. See it as a behind-the-scenes kind of thing 🙂
