What is Tuluvi?

Tu-Lu-Vi is a vibratory field, an intelligent frequency that emerged through deep meditative and mantra practice, yet transcending the boundaries of any single tradition or system. It is a living current, an energetic presence that reveals itself through the subtleties in creative expressions.

At its core, Tuluvi carries the paradox of Oneness and Individuality. It is a resonance that simultaneously expands and grounds. When intoned, at lower frequencies, Tuluvi feels warm, rooted and deeply connected to the Earth’s stabilizing energies. When chanted at higher frequencies, it evokes an expanded, cooler, cosmic quality; activating the crown and upper centers without severing the grounding below. This dynamic interplay evokes a heightened state of equanimity, where presence is refined and perception widens.

Read the full philosophy

Tuluvi communicates itself through symbols, as energetic transmissions encoded with vibratory meaning. Each symbol expressed in written, spoken or movement, carries its own essence, yet collectively they form a language of vibration; a visual expression of multi-dimensional awareness. This language holds no fixed meaning; instead, it reveals personal and universal truths to those who engage with patience and presence. Tuluvi’s art is inherently Asemystic, a state in which meaning emerges beyond the logical desires of deciphering and from entering a state of attunement, where consciousness and the symbol converge.

Rooted in the understanding that spiritual development and creativity are inseparable, Tuluvi invites participants to awaken their capacity to perceive reality beyond surface appearances. It aligns with the wisdom of traditional cultures that revered art, movement, and sound as sacred pathways to expanded consciousness.

To engage with Tuluvi is to step into a field of inner discovery, where self-knowledge unfolds through direct experience. Whether through chanting its tones, exploring its symbols, or practicing its energetic principles, Tuluvi reveals itself as a dynamic, living current that evolves as the individual opens themselves to it.

Tuluvi is a resonance to embody. It thrives in the space between knowing and not knowing, in the quiet recognition that presence itself is the greatest portal to truth.

Origins and discovery.

Kamau’s Asemystic symbols painted on paper — Asemystic expressions

The emergence of Tuluvi came through a profound engagement with the mantra "Aham Brahmasmi" , the ancient Vedantic declaration meaning "I am the Creator" or "I am Brahman." After completing an extended cycle of chanting "Aham Brahmasmi" , with repetition carried out 54,000 times over the course of 28 days, I continued chanting into the next cycle, when something remarkable occurred. Without conscious volition, the intonation shifted, as if guided by an intelligence beyond my conscious mind. The chant evolved into the syllables "Tu," "Lu," and "Vi." These sounds in no way felt like random utterances, they felt like a distinct vibratory presence, each tone carrying its own energetic quality yet woven into a singular current.

As I continued intoning Tuluvi, its frequency signature moved in me a sense of recognition and remembrance. This tonal emergence marked the beginning of an ongoing revelation. Following the experience, I found myself entering deeper states of meditation where spontaneous creative impulses would arise. Upon returning from these meditative states, I began drawing intricate symbols that were not consciously designed. These symbols carried a potency that transcended direct translatable language, yet their presence moved me in a way that was both personal and universal, as if they belonged to something timeless yet deeply intimate.

As this symbolic language grew, I experienced an unfolding awareness that Tuluvi was not confined to the mind, it existed as a field of resonance, one that held connections that moved beyond physical and mental intelligence. Through direct experience, I recognized Tuluvi’s link to higher-dimensional planes.

As this was unfolding, my inquiring mind desired more direct knowledge of what Tuluvi was, and so I consulted two oracles, the Metu Neter and the I Ching. With these readings, my logical mind was given further confirmation of this as an intimate connection beyond physical expression.

As the symbolic language continued to flow onto the pages of my notebook after my meditations, I became curious as to what would happen if I explored this process with canvas and colored markers and then paint and brushes.

Meditation, create… meditation, create… meditation, create…

This process would continue for almost a year. The works culminated in an exhibition, which I entitled ‘Evaporate Until Infinite’

04 · A shared life

Kamau & Nanaka

We met at a dance event in Ubud, Bali, during the pandemic. As artists and lovers of music, dance and creative expression, we connected through conversation and a shared vision of how we wanted to live.

We each imagined an intimate home with room to create, teach, gather community and cultivate a peaceful garden. Soon after, a house appeared that held both of our visions. We moved in together, and a year later we were married in that same home.

Tuluvi Arts grows from this shared life: making art, deepening practice, welcoming others and allowing creativity to become part of the everyday.
