Sara Joy Gillbeau (@sarajoy.creates) has been a weaver of lyric and song since childhood. Classically trained in opera and piano, her journey eventually led her to rediscover music as a vehicle for true healing, using vocalization, sacred sound, and vibration as medicine.

She now writes songs from the depths of her being – weaving threads of mantra, devotional harmonies, and medicine music. In addition to sound, she expresses her artistry through traditional fiber arts like felting, spinning, knitting, and weaving, allowing songs to emerge in shared creative circles.

She is also a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a Colon Hydrotherapist, and a Hatha Yoga teacher.

We are thrilled to welcome soul folk vocal alchemist and song-catcher @aealuz to the Song of the Earth facilitator team! 🌿✨

AEALUZ sings for personal and collective transformation, serving a living ceremony through music. Her voice is a balm, a salve, and a sword—liberating illusion with sonic clarity while seamlessly blending elements of R&B, Jazz, Folk, and chant into a celebration of the sacred. Her transmission creates a field of deep remembrance, supporting us in exploring our true nature as love.

🌎 Song of the Earth is a 4-day retreat where we’ll explore the voice & song-creation as a pathway to healing, creativity, & connection with the living Earth. Together, we’ll gather for daily voice, movement, and embodiment practices, along with silent time communing with nature — opening as channels for the wisdom and energy of the elements, allowing that inspiration to move through us as song. 🎶

We’ll be nourished throughout with organic, home-cooked vegan meals set within a private 30-acre sanctuary in the Sierra Nevada foothills, featuring a three-acre swimming lake, hot tub, and elemental temples. ⛰️

📍 Grass Valley, CA
📅 October 23–26, 2026

Hey fammmm!!

Been pretty quiet on here for a few different reasons - mostly because I’ve been so deep in presence with the travels of the past month. Going to places I’ve never been before, meeting new Ohana, and making sweet sweet love with life in the form of music, friendship, and spending so much time in the wonderful cascades!

I did pop to Maui for 10 days, but today I am actually heading on the big bird across the sea, to go play with @maxribner @sarajoy.creates @artem.abramov.official & the fam at @imagineorcasisland!!

Soul grateful for this incredible Ohana out here that has welcomed me in with such sweetness! We spent some time in the mountains writing new songs together & we’ll be sharing them around the circle on Sunday! Bring your hearts, bring your voices, bring the keiki, and let’s lift up this world through the magic of music together!!

Big shoutout to the fam (you know who you are) - thanks so much for being such strong pillars and allowing me to lean into you in some really tender moments. The healing that has come from being with y’all is indescribable!

“I hope we all share this love, forever & ever & ever” - Papa Morrison 💗🙇‍♂️🙏

See you at Imagine!! 🙌
