Madi Rane

What if, for one evening, you gave yourself permission to simply receive?

To slow down.
To breathe.
To remember the quiet part of yourself that’s always been there beneath the noise.

✨ Roots & Resonance is an immersive evening of guided meditation, the breathtaking sounds of the 21-string West African kora, and restorative sound healing.

Be gently guided through vivid African landscapes—from golden savannahs and ancient forests to flowing rivers and the quiet presence of the wild—as you reconnect with your inner stillness and highest self.

Then relax into a deeply restorative sound journey featuring the 21-string West African kora, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, drums, and ethereal vocals. Let the healing vibrations calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, open your heart, and invite profound rest and renewal.

This one-of-a-kind collaboration is led by certified sound healer Madi Rane and Senegalese kora musician Boynarr, blending the rich musical traditions of West Africa with the transformative power of sound healing.

Some adventures begin long before the destination.

A late-night drive from Kampala to Fort Portal, roadside grilled chicken, winding roads through the mountains, and waking up to a sunrise over one of Uganda’s breathtaking crater lakes. 🌿

Then it was time to lace up our hiking shoes and head toward Mahoma Falls, where every step through the forest felt like entering another world.

This is only the beginning.

Part 2 is where the real magic happens. Wait until you see the waterfall at the end of the hike. 💚🇺🇬

I have measured my life in oceans crossed,
in sunsets that asked me to stay a little longer,
in the quiet miracle of finding love where I least expected it,
and in the moment I first held the life that once lived beneath my heartbeat.

The years keep moving.
The days keep passing.

So I gather them gently—
and fill them with wonder.

Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.

The roar of a lion at sunrise.
The thunder of a waterfall hidden deep in the wilderness.
The silent grace of elephants crossing the savannah.
The colors of Africa painted across every horizon.

Some places don’t need filters.
Some moments don’t need words.

They simply leave you speechless.

📍East Africa
🌍Where every safari becomes a story worth telling.

Traveling from Sacramento to Entebbe with a 3-month-old wasn’t exactly the easiest journey we’ve ever taken—but it was one of the most meaningful.

In this video, I’m sharing some of my favorite tips and tricks for traveling long-haul with a newborn, but behind every piece of advice is a story that made this trip so special.

My husband was unable to be present for the birth of our son after his visa application was denied. Navigating immigration challenges, long periods of separation, and the uncertainty that comes with it was incredibly difficult. There were moments of heartbreak knowing he was missing milestones no parent should have to miss.

So watching him finally hold our son for the very first time was a moment I’ll never forget. Months of waiting, hoping, praying, and dreaming led to that reunion. Seeing our little family together at last made every mile, every layover, and every sleepless flight worth it.

This journey was also especially meaningful because my parents traveled to Uganda with us for the first time. Their unwavering love, support, and encouragement have carried me through so many seasons of life. I am endlessly grateful for the way they have embraced not only me and my son, but also my husband and our relationship. Having them there to witness this reunion made it even more special.

My heart is so full of gratitude—for family, for perseverance, for the privilege of creating memories together, and for the beautiful reminder that love can endure even the longest distances.

Here’s to many more adventures, many more reunions, and many more memories as our little family continues to grow. ❤️
