Sacred Love was co-produced by Windham HillRecords founder Will Ackerman and mixed by Corin Nelsen. It invites full-on listening and continually draws listeners in deeper and deeper, revealing one’s own core.
“Sacred Love was created to reflect a beautiful, healing, uplifting and refreshing inner landscape, all at the same time, and there is something wonderful here for listeners,” said Shambhu.
