Phase One of Sacred Acre 2026 is officially here - we’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been building. 🌲✨

Join us for a magical weekend in Alaska, featuring two sets of Tape B, plus Effin and Maddy O’Neal, with so much more still to come!

From late-night bass with shimmering laser displays to moments of genuine connection & stillness in the Alaskan wilderness. On-site camping, wellness workshops, immersive art, and one-of-a-kind Alaskan excursions.

This is just the beginning. More lineup announcements are on the way, but we couldn’t wait any longer to say it out loud: TWO NIGHTS OF TAPE B!

See you under the northern sky! Sept 11th - 13th in Ninilchik, AK 💫 by @michael_dan13l

This Sunday, my mini documentary with director Michael Daniel premieres at the Santa Cruz Film Festival. 🎬

Six months in the making, it shares my story and my work through music, movement and breathwork.

This clip is closest to my heart: supporting people in recovery through mentoring, coaching and music. I’m honored to volunteer with Janus of Santa Cruz.

It’s the film’s first showing anywhere, alongside other wonderful short films. To make it a one-time event, I’ll perform a live harp set after the screening, and Michael and I will be there for a Q&A.

A few complimentary tickets are available. Comment or DM me. First come, first served.

📅 Sunday, October 18, 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
📍 Colligan Theater, Tannery Arts Center
1010 River Street, Santa Cruz

Thank you to the Santa Cruz Film Festival, Angela Chesnut and Michael Daniel. And to my teachers, Nathaniel Dickey, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Wim Hof and Bruce Lipton, for passing this wisdom forward.

“I’m a dead man, ‘cause I’m chasing money ‘til I drop
I’m a bread man, stacking all this money ‘til I climb
I’m a businessman, I’ll take the consultation if I flop
If I spend the bag, I’ll double up and hit the slingshot”

Forever chasing the bag. Always inspired by the legends @bbnomula and @liltoe.

Don’t forget to look both ways when chasing your dreams. Don’t let money get to your head. Do weird/ creative shit with your friends.

Getting kicked out of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk while ninja filming felt like something that would make @olivertree proud. 💗🕊️🌳

Sending love to all our Santa Cruz fam and everyone around the world!

It’s hard to believe we’re so close.

Soon, we’ll be back in the forest - surrounded by music, art, good people, and that magical feeling of being exactly where you’re supposed to be.

The forest is waking up. 🌲🌀 The lights are getting ready to glow. ✨ The ocean breeze is waiting. Another unforgettable weekend is just around the corner. 🌙

We’ll see you in the forest. 🌲

Our crew is running on equal parts exhaustion and excitement after an unforgettable weekend at Salmonfest. 💛

To everyone who stopped by the booth, shared a story, grabbed tickets, or simply came to say hello, thank you!

Seeing so many familiar faces (and meeting so many new ones) all gathering for music, love, and Alaska! This weekend reminded us why we do this, and why we can’t wait to gather again next month.

Now... all that excitement has us counting down even harder because we’re officially 38 DAYS away from Sacred Acre Year 5.

The festival grounds are coming together beautifully, tickets are moving quickly, and every day brings us one step closer to gathering again beneath the Alaska sky.

We hope this little glimpse gets you as excited for September as we are!

✨ Grab your tickets now at sacredacreak.com

⏳ Heads up: Payment plans end August 15, so if you’ve been waiting, now’s the time to lock in your spot.

Kona, Hawaii- the old stopping grounds. We frolicked and snorkeled our way around the island with this rad group of friends! I took the gang on my favorite hike down to the Kealakekua Bay for some coral cruising, we snorkeled with a pod of pilot whales and sharks, and we celebrated two beautiful friends in their jungle-set union. I even dragged everyone to the restaurant I used to work at. There are too many amazing memories not to share them all! taken in Big Island, Hawaii by @michael_dan13l
