Misk’i Takiy is the artistic name of a man named Gareth who is a human being, being human, and trying to be the best human he can be. Of course, he makes mistakes, that’s a part of the process, the acceptance of his own imperfection and the imperfection of others, within the continued journey of evolution.

He prefers to live and let live, to forgive and forget. He is not perfect, nor has yet to meet anyone who is. He sincerely asks for forgiveness from those that he may have unwittingly caused hurt and harm, and extends that forgiveness to those that have caused him hurt and harm, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He believes the first rule of life is to not cause harm intentionally. He is a writer of songs, a singer, dancer and space designer, he enjoys projects that fulfil the desire to create harmony and balance - especially the written word - to bring healing, education and resolution.

Currently, he is working on 2 book projects as consultant and editor, the intention of which is to bring greater understanding of ancestral knowledge to these modern times. He is beginning the pre-recording procedure for his next album, and also designing a modular study course for those who wish to learn a little more of what is sometimes called the shamanic perspective. He is stepping - or dancing - his way into his path as a Movement Medicine teacher in training.

He currently resides in the harbour of the Sacred Valley in Peru, nestled in-between the mountains, close to nature and that particular rhythm of the Andes. He enjoys his friends, family and animal companions. One of his greatest wishes is to live in peace, with himself and with the ever-persistent guidance of his heart and kind instruction of his elders.

He offers gratitude to all that have been a part of this process of life, and all the space that is offered to him for his inner and outer life.
