We are Braucherei, a newly rooted nonprofit initiative dedicated to weaving together music, natural healing, and folk tradition.
Our foundation is built on decades of experience:
Over 20 years of professional musicianship in percussion, strings, composition, and production.
Craftsmanship in sewing and leatherwork, focused on natural fibers, resonance, and sustainability.
Herbal medicine and naturopathic practice, grounded in the folk-Christian and pre-Christian healing traditions of Braucherei.
Our mission is to bring these skills together to create spaces of restoration, learning, and community.
Our Journey
Braucherei began as a band in 2023, with studios dedicated to recording and craft. In March 2025, we released our first full-length album, Rites in Exile. But Braucherei has always been more than music — it is a calling to nurture body, spirit, and community.
In 2024, that calling led us across the country in search of a permanent home. We invested everything into the vision of restoring a historic sandstone church. That opportunity was lost through fraud, and along the way we gave up thousands of dollars in instruments, equipment, and supplies just to keep moving forward on our quest back home to the Rocky Mountains.
Though painful, these losses revealed a deeper truth: Braucherei is not about what we lost, but what we are called to build.
Our vision is clear:
Rebuild a music studio to record healing music and teach children the art of playing and recording.
Establish an apothecary to offer herbs, craft remedies, and teach naturopathic practices.
Create a meditation and worship space — accessible year-round for those seeking peace, renewal, or guidance.
Replace sewing and leatherwork tools and materials, so we can raise the frequencies of those around us through fiber and teach the lost art of mending.
Replenish our small medicinal mead brewery, where responsible communion keeps vibrations high and connects neighbors and travelers to their ancestral roots.
This work is not limited to one town or state. Our mission is global: to share healing, music, and the living wisdom of Braucherei with anyone ready to walk the path of restoration.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you.
May the Allfather bless you for helping us heal, create, and give back.
With love,
Brokk and Iska Dagaz
