༒ JOIN US: COHORT IV begins May 31st 2026 ༒

The Medicine Music 12 Week Immersion was created for those walking the medicine path, who feel called to deepen their musicianship and uplift their highest expression through growing their skills on guitar and voice.

This learning journey is for you if you play basic chords on guitar and already sing and share some medicine songs and are ready to expand your musical vocabulary and understanding.

By joining the Medicine Music 12 Week Immersion, you will access over 50 lesson videos and thoughtfully prepared written and visual materials, an encouraging space within a caring community of learners, and bi-weekly live calls with Benny Oyama for additional personalized guidance and support.

With Benny Oyama’s 20+ years of teaching experience guiding us, our mission is to genuinely help you develop a strong, meaningful practice with the guitar through careful study of 4 medicine songs over the course of the immersion.

We’ll discover together how proper nervous system regulation and cohesion between the five pillars of music can create true beauty and carry our heartfelt prayers and intentions.

Testimonials from previous participants 

of the Medicine Music 12 Week Immersion

࿄

"So, I honestly loved working with Benny. I really appreciated his humor, his lightness, and also his ability to keep showing up authentically while clearly holding a lot behind the scenes. 

That felt very inspiring to witness. I could really feel how much work and care and intention went into the container he created for us during 12 weeks. I’m genuinely grateful for that."

-Ivana, Sayulita, Mexico 

"You just need one person to be ignited to feel the inspiration and ignite yourself. Like when you see the spirited person, the fire spreads, right?

And for me, I’ve really felt it and seen so many spirited people. It helped me go back and feel my own fire.”

-Tamara, Paris 

"I've just been reflecting on how grateful I am for this opportunity that we've had to build a real relationship with this instrument and this music, and such a consistent and eager daily practice that I've never had before. Even when I studied a different instrument for almost a decade, I never felt that sense of connection, devotion to my daily practice.

And I was trying to figure out why.

I think some of it is just the richness and the rigor of the prepared materials that just have a way of putting one stone in front of the other and building not just the skills, but also the mindset, the confidence that I can take a song apart and understand each of the pieces and make them my own."

-Brad, São Paulo 

"I decided to work with Benny because I love what he plays. I love the songs that he is teaching in his courses, so for me it was an opportunity to learn from one of the best."

-Nana, Mexico City

“When I came into this, I was in that experience of being in that out-of-integrity field, and I was in a really rough spot. And something really pulled me into joining this.

And in my mind I was going, ‘Well, I just want to focus on the music and enhance my skills as a guitar player,’ but I didn’t realize through this whole process that it really wasn’t about that this entire time for me. It was like having this journey of healing, and that was the work that I needed to do more - to come more into alignment and be more perceptive of who I allow into my energy field and how I’m working.

And it’s been such a valuable lesson, and to have this group, even this small group, and you Benny, has been huge for me. It’s been amazing just to have that little bit of dialogue and to be able to talk about it. Even just meeting on Sundays and doing that has really helped."

-Matt, Salt Lake City
