Episode Details

Expanding Love Through Music, Mantra, and Sacred Connection   In this episode of Friends with the World, Michelle speaks with Darren Marc Levene—musician, singer-songwriter, Reiki Master, and published author—to explore how music and mantra can open the door to a deeper experience of love and sacred connection. Darren shares his journey from early songwriting and performing in a rock band to creating music rooted in intention, where sound becomes something shared, lived, and experienced together. From songs that arrive in dreams to leading group singing and mantra gatherings, his work reflects a movement from personal expression into collective presence. As the author of Journey of the Heart: Awakening to Love, Unveiling the Power of the Heart: A Channeled Text, and Create Your Dream Life Now: A Workbook and Guide for Manifesting Your Destiny, Darren also offers insight into his writing process and how his creative work continues to evolve. His upcoming book, I Walk with Jesus: Lessons in Love, Forgiveness, and Freedom, continues this spiritually guided path, reflecting the deepening integration of his teachings through both music and writing. Together, Michelle and Darren reflect on creativity, presence, and the practices that help us return to what matters most. At its heart, this conversation is about expanding love—through voice, through music, and through the ways we come together. Darren Marc Levene is a kirtan artist, author, and Reiki Master Teacher who shares heart-centered devotional music at yoga studios, retreats, and festivals across the country. His kirtans are known for creating a welcoming, uplifting space where everyone can participate, connect, and experience the joy of singing together.
