Spring Awakening
An Equinox Offering for Sky Oaks Ranch
2026 Spring Fundraiser
Dear Sky Oaks Ranch Community…
to our beloved friends, family and fellow creators,
As we approach the Spring Equinox on March 20, we arrive at a powerful moment of awakening, with the land in bloom and new life stirring.
​
We warmly invite you into our Spring Awakening Fundraiser, an Equinox Offering for Sky Oaks Ranch, with a collective goal to raise $20,000 by the first day of spring! This offering will help support the 2026 season of immersive retreats, music gatherings and creative community experiences, as the Ranch steps into its 11th year as a sanctuary for art, music, culture, nature and community.
​
With deepest gratitude, we thank all of you who have brought your energy, love, creativity and presence to the Ranch, as participants, co-creators, visionaries and family. For over a decade, you have helped cultivate a vital ground for dream-making, connection and transformation. As we to say here on the Ranch: In nature, we grow.
REFLECTING ON 2025​
Looking back at the past year, we pause to honor what we’ve created together.
2025 was a rich and successful season… one that brought our mission vividly to life.
​
-
Troubadour Music Gathering celebrated its 6th year, offering exceptional live and electronic music, world culture, inspired culinary delights and deep community.
-
A Beltane Celebration, now in its 3rd year, brought forth an enchanted May Day rite rooted in ancient seasonal ritual, bringing together community, live music, dancing and celebration.
-
We hosted eight Transformational Retreats, including music meditation journeys, creative design intensives, seasonal rituals, wellness practices and learning.
-
We hosted two Micro-Festivals centered on music and performance, creative and educational workshops and community togetherness.
-
The Sky Oaks Ranch Recording Studio continued as a cornerstone of our mission, hosting live and in-studio sessions with extraordinary artists creating and releasing inspired new works.
Alongside these events were countless smaller gatherings, visioning sessions, collaborations and moments of shared inspiration that continue to shape what’s possible on the land.
​
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026​
If you’ve been inspired by your time on the Ranch or feel called by its mission, we invite you to participate in this Equinox Offering, helping carry creativity, stewardship and community into the 2026 season and beyond.

Every contribution, in any amount, directly nourishes this living ecosystem, and we are deeply grateful for the support and co-creation for so many years, for all the many hands that continue to support its sustainability. We could not do this without you!
