One of my favorite places in the Bay Area is community of ecological, sociological, technological, and cultural activists called Solstice Grove. Founded by Jim Fournier, eco-visionary and founder of Planetwork and Biomass Energy & Carbon, Solstice Grove consists of a main community house, swimming pool and several yurts and a redwood grove on several acres of gorgeous land in the community of Nicasio in the Marin Headlands.

Solstice Grove holds a number of sweat lodges, sacred ceremonies and community events, such as the Bioneers After Party, throughout the Year. The Dalai Lama has even visited and blessed the community. Solstice Grove is known for their fabulously fun parties on the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice, another reason why Solstice Grove is dear to my heart - the Winter Solstice is my birthday.

I had the privilege of spending a weekend there for a sacred music gathering a few weeks ago. I met MJ Greenmountain of Hamsa Lila, and Mariela de la Paz, one of my favorite visionary artists, next to Pablo Amaringo.

The music was incredible, and people were lovely, and I was again reminded of how much I enjoy living in the Bay Area.
