COMPTON JR. POSSE 
WITH MAYISHA AKBAR, SUZE RANDALL & KATHY CLARK

In 1988, Mayisha Akbar bought a home with stables in the Richland Farms area of Compton, California, to help immerse her three children in a positive rural lifestyle in the heart of an urban setting. Shortly after, she founded Compton Jr. Posse, a non-profit youth equestrian program that provided inner-city kids with a healthy after school program amidst the crime, drugs, and gang activity that was rampant at the time. Mayisha taught the children everything there was to know about riding and taking care of horses, giving them tools for increasing discipline and self-esteem in the process, while providing an alternative to more destructive interests. She’ll be talking about Compton Jr. Posse, and how the horses kept, and continue to keep, many local youth off the streets. She retired in January of this year, but her legacy continues through Compton Jr. Equestrians, the new iteration of CJP managed by two former students including her nephew Randy Savvy, who is also the leader of the Compton Cowboys, and  Riders United, founded by a former CJP horseback riding instructor. A slideshow of photos by artist Melodie McDaniel will accompany Mayisha’s talk. 

Mayisha Akbar is a retired volunteer program director and a real estate broker. She was born and raised in Southern California, and received a BA in Sociology and Education on scholarship from Loyola Marymount University. She was inducted into the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame in 2009 and the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in 2019. She has touched the lives of thousands of kids through her Compton Jr. Posse equestrian program. 

Suze Randall is an internationally acclaimed glamour photographer who has worked for magazines like Playboy, once the exclusive preserve of men. It was their shared obsession with horses that brought her and Mayisha Akbar together 15 years ago when Suze first started working with the Compton Jr. Posse.

Kathy Clark, Jr. Posse employee outreach specialist and ghostwriter, is an independent videographer and digital editor. Kathy has also been a foster parent for five years, caring and nurturing more than 20 foster children, including children with behavioral and emotional issues, ADHD, and the developmentally disabled.

TRANSFORMATIONAL BREATHWORK 
WITH CARLY JO CARSON & ADRIANA AYALES 

In this breathwork journey, Carly Jo Carson will guide you into the unconscious through breath and experimental sound, allowing you to intuitively locate shadow aspects that may be paralyzing, and bring them to the light. It is, paradoxically, our shadow that leads us to our greatest gifts. Yet buried in our unconscious, it rules over us, surfacing again and again until we face it, know it, and transform it. This type of breathwork is a potent process of awakening, inspiring, fine-tuning, and shifting the authority from our minds to our hearts. With the breath alone we can heal trauma and chronic psychical pain, awaken our creative minds, and reconnect with our instincts. Adriana Ayales will provide a mystical concoction composed of herbs like bobinsana, blue lotus, and revered jungle plants known for their deeply meditative and spiritually activating properties.  

Carly Jo Carson, co-founder of Mercado Sagrado, is an artist and healer from Topanga Canyon. 

Adriana Ayales is a rainforest herbalist from Costa Rica. She’s the founder of Anima Mundi Herbals, a renowned herbal apothecary based in Brooklyn.

THE LONGEVITY OF LAMA FOUNDATION 
JODI WILLE IN CONVERSATION WITH HANS VON BRIESEN (SIDDIQ) AND CLIFTON COUGHLIN

The Lama Foundation is a spiritual community, educational facility, and retreat center near Taos, New Mexico, founded in 1967 and still thriving today. But why, when there were so many counterculture communities started in the 1960s, is Lama Foundation one of the few that has survived? This conversation will be a frank discussion about what attributes, both ideological and structural, can help make an alternative community successful, and in the case of Lama Foundation, highly influential (Lama produced and published Be Here Now with Ram Dass in 1971, and has served tens of thousands of people over its lifespan). Lama began with a dedication to awakening of consciousness, and, after originally relying on charismatic leadership, evolved into a consensus decision-making community that continues to flourish. More than 40 people have served as Coordinator (CEO) in Lama’s 51 years. All these aspects of Lama Foundation will be discussed, as we try to convey a sense of how the Lama community now operates, after more than 50 years of community experience. 

Hans von Briesen, known as Siddiq, was an early resident of Lama Foundation, and served as its fourth Coordinator as well as Treasurer. Holding a Ph.D. in physics, he dropped out of the field to join Lama in 1969. Siddiq has lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since 1977 with his wife Sakina, and spent almost 30 years working and teaching at St. John’s College in Santa Fe. He is a student of Sufi teaching in the lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis, and a student of Buddhist teaching.

Clifton Coughlin has been involved with Lama Foundation since 2005. Educated at UC Berkeley, he chose to forgo a career in neuroscience to serve at Lama Foundation. His primary focus has been to grow the Cottage Industries business, making it more sustainable and more profitable, to support Lama Foundation's message of awakening of consciousness, respect for all religious/spiritual traditions, service, sustainability, and stewardship of the land.

Jodi Wille is an American filmmaker (The Source Family), book publisher, and curator who has researched, visited, documented, and published books on intentional communities and alternative spiritual groups for 15 years. 

Mercado Sagrado has collaborated with Lama Foundation to create a limited screenprinted poster series, inspired by the original Ram Dass drawings for Be Here Now. Proceeds will benefit Lama Foundations Dome Rebuilding Project.

SECRETS OF SOLAR GEOMETRY
WITH KAREN CROWLEY-SUSANI

The Art of Master Builders mixes tradition, science, and spirituality, transforming the energy of an environment by working with the rhythm of the sun according to a site’s latitude. As they have for thousands of years, the Hindu-European Master Builders continue to work with the ancient tradition of elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether. During the presentation, Karen will share the history of the Hindu-European Master Builders, the techniques they employ, and the remedies used to balance and build a sacred place. The extraordinary knowledge can also be used to create homes, offices, and other healing structures that are not only in relationship with the sun, cosmos, and the earth, but  also with all life around us.

Karen found her teacher and calling when she began her studies with Dominique Susani, a European Master Builder, almost 20 years ago. She became determined to share this ancient wisdom to help heal the toxic energies of our modern world.

SAILING A SINKING SEA 
WITH OLIVIA O WYATT 

Sailing a Sinking Sea is a feature-length experimental documentary exploring the culture of the Moken people of Burma and Thailand. The Moken are a seafaring community and one of the smallest ethnic minority groups in Asia, traditionally spending eight months out of the year in thatch-roofed wooden boats. Wholly reliant upon the sea, their entire belief system revolves around water. Sailing a Sinking Sea (Drag City and Documentary Educational Resources) weaves a visual and aural tapestry of Moken mythologies and present-day practices. As a viewer you will swim under the sea past fish and mermaids, sail boats across turquoise waters, land on 13 different islands, step inside sea shanties on stilts, delve into the minds of shamans, become possessed through the worship of sea gods, dance between lovers, and emerge drenched in Moken mythology. The film was executive produced by musician Will Oldham, aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and scored by Bitchin Bajas. The screening will be followed by a Q&A between director Olivia O Wyatt and Cinespia founder John Wyatt. 

Olivia O Wyatt is an award-winning filmmaker, TV producer, writer, and U.S. Coast Guard–certified captain. She makes ethnographic films that focus on preserving the traditions of communities that are on the brink of extinction as well as creating abstract works of a psychedelic nature. Sailing a Sinking Sea premiered at SXSW, won the Audience Choice Award at the Singapore International Film Festival, and recently screened at the Smithsonian Institution. Olivia spent five years as a multimedia journalist for Magnum Photos and has produced series for Viceland, NBC, Magnum Photos, ATTN:, and Lifetime. Olivia currently lives aboard her 34-foot. sailboat, Juniper; this summer she sailed solo across the Pacific Ocean from San Diego to Hawaii. She was born and bred in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has traveled to more than 25 countries in search of passionate storytelling and adventure.

THE HARMONICS OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT
WITH ERIC RANKIN

There is a significant and previously unknown connection between geometry and harmonics, whereby geometric forms provide the information needed to build numerically perfect major chords, the most melodic form of music. By extrapolation, the research that will be presented here offers a certain type of proof that our geometric universe is a symphonic system functioning in literal harmony with itself. This lecture will also introduce a monumental moment in human history—one that, though it challenges logic, also happens to involve a helping nudge from extraterrestrial visitors. If we are to believe any of what our first ancestors wrote as fact, we are currently living in a matrix put in motion more than six thousand years ago by a technologically-advanced race of “sky-people.” This presentation will explore this “alien-assistance” theory, and the closest thing yet to smoking-gun proof that humanity has indeed been contacted by extraterrestrials in the past.

Eric Rankin’s Sonic Geometry videos have been viewed millions of times and translated into numerous languages. He, along with his research and findings, have been featured on Gaia TV, as well as radio and podcast interviews all over the world. Eric is a featured speaker at conventions including Contact in the Desert, Portal to Ascension, and Star Knowledge and he is the only regularly featured lecturer at the world-famous Integratron in California’s Mojave Desert.

HOW TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT FEELING GOOD 
WITH AMANDA SHAPIRO FROM HEALTHYISH, MEL NAHAS, LALAH DELIA & TERO ISOKAUPPILA

The pursuit of wellness can easily become a full-time job. We find ourselves asking: What to eat? How to move? What products to buy? What to put on our skin? What experts to trust, what books to read, what routines to follow? Sometimes it feels like the stress of so many decisions is making us less well. In our current Western cultural climate where holistic health, aka “wellness,” has become mainstream, how do we seek wellness in a way that’s more personal, pleasurable, and authentic? How do we balance our desires for self-improvement with acceptance of where we are in the present? How do we remind ourselves that being in joy, in peace, and acting in service are perhaps the most potent means to elicit the deepest satisfaction and a greater sense of wellbeing for ourselves and the larger community?

Amanda Shapiro is the editor of Healthyish, a site from Bon Appétit that covers wellness through the lens of food. Before that, she was a freelance journalist covering gender and health for publications like Vice, BuzzFeed, and the Oxford American. She was born in San Francisco, home to the best farmers’ markets, and raised in New Haven, CT, home to the best pizza. Her dream meal consists of salmon, sweet potatoes, and tahini in any configuration. 

Mel Nahas is CEO and co-founder of Conscious City Guide, a global community of intentional experience creators and seekers, whose events have attracted more than 80,000 attendees in two years. With more than a decade of music industry experience, Mel now translates her amassed knowledge of live experiences, media, and the creation of music culture to the culture of consciousness, producing festivals, retreats, workshops, and gatherings (including Mercado Sagrado).

SEEDS FOR A NEW BEGINNING
WITH GRANDMOTHER FLORDEMAYO & KYA-XE’ 

This talk will explore the traditions, wisdom, and spirituality of the Maya people touching first on the prophecies and the power of I'x (Iche), or the Sacred Feminine and focusing on the importance of seed conservation and environmental preservation, and how these different teachings of living in respect with our Mother Earth are being passed on within generations. We are in a pivotal time in history where the actions we take today will have an impact on the next seven generations to come, which is why it is essential that we begin to take the necessary steps towards living a more sustainable and mindful life. We must reconnect with nature and learn to respect the planet that we live on once again because this is the only home we have. The session will begin and end with a short prayer or meditation.  

Grandmother Flordemayo grew up in the highlands of Central America in a family of Mayan healers, raised by her mother, who was a midwife. She travels the globe offering healing and prayers, fostering a more spiritual understanding among humanity. She is a founding member of the Confederation of Indigenous Elders of the Americas, Institute of Natural and Traditional Knowledge, International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, and is the founder and director of The Path, a non-profit that preserves and distributes heirloom and sacred seeds and provides education on the importance of conservation. 

Kya-Xe’ Zelaya Dudney is Grandmother Flordemayo’s firstborn granddaughter, learning the wisdom from her Grandmother that has been passed on for three generations. She is Ambassador and President of The Path, a non-profit founded by Flordemayo to preserve and protect sacred heirloom seeds. 

Mercado Sagrado will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this year’s fair to The Path, to help support their conservation of sacred seeds.

COLLECTIVE QUICKENING IN THE TIME OF THE RAINBOW BRIDGE 
WITH JANE ANNE THOMAS

As we prepare to leave 2019 and enter 2020, Jane Anne Thomas of House of the Standing Moon offers a heartfelt translation of the energetic signature and totemic themes within the profound transits taking place according to the sidereal zodiac. Seen through the integrated lens of ancestral, terrestrial, and celestial intelligence we are living out the signature of a time of great liberation. We are witnessing the unfolding of a shared, mass assemblage shift—a true opening into a new way that comes at deep cost. Freedoms, abilities, and gifts previously unimaginable peer at us like waves rippling across primal oceans. What is asked of us in order to greet them? 

Join Jane Anne in examining this question through the eloquence of vedic astrology and the fluency of the natural world. With these ancient tools she posits that the psychological growth at play in these cycles offers a deep salve at its center; that the challenges mystery confronts us with in this moment can be transformed into alchemical gifts when we are willing to meet them. Here the symbols open, hidden forms come to life, patterns emerge, and creatures of our dreams raise up to dance with us— welcoming us to explore and even to exalt in the transformational invitation at the core of this powerful moment in time. 

As an artist and mystic practitioner, House of the Standing Moon’s Jane Anne Thomas stands at the intersection of nature and the supernatural; a mediator between worlds seen and unseen, possible and impossible. As a reader, Jane Anne is a supremely compassionate, gifted, and dynamic seer with an especially strong bond to the animal kingdom and a profound knowledge of mystical traditions informed by a lifetime of intensive study. She is an artist whose work spans not just multidisciplinary form but paranormal experience itself.

INTRODUCTION TO DAMANHUR
WITH JESSICA JACOBSON 

North of Turin, Italy, built into the foothills of the Alps, is a massive subterranean series of ornate and stunningly decorated structures known as The Temples of Humankind. These temples are the heart of Damanhur, a federation of spiritual communities founded in 1975 by Falco Tarassaco (he and his followers built the temples by hand). With a dream of creating a new world, in which every human being can thrive and be in service to the higher good, Damanhur is an intentional community with its own constitution, currency, and university. It’s a place where spirituality, science, and technology are studied and revered, and everything resonates at the highest vibration. Jessica Jacobsen is Damanhur’s U.S. representative who will be talking about this dynamic place—what Damanhur is and why it’s important. She’ll also offer a meditation with Selfica, an ancient technology that connects us to cosmic intelligence. 

Jessica Jacobson is the U.S. representative for Damanhur. She graduated from Vanguard University with a degree in Liberal Studies, Psychology, and Religion. She is currently working on a Doctor of Psychology degree at Sofia University.

THE MIRACLE CLUB
WITH MITCH HOROWITZ

Join historian and widely known voice of esoteric ideas Mitch Horowitz to explore both the history and practical insights of the radical notion that thoughts are causative. Based on Mitch’s book, The Miracle Club, his presentation examines the widespread spiritual belief that our thoughts and mental images concretize into reality. He considers where these ideas arose from and how they stand up. Most important, Mitch asks: What among the vast catalogue of mind metaphysics methods really work—and why? He offers practical techniques for experimentation, including: the imperative of possessing one definite aim, the power of sex transmutation, the 10-Day Miracle Challenge, why prayer is a neglected and misunderstood practice, metaphysical steps that can help with depression and anxiety, and how to cope with barriers to your advancement. 

Mitch Horowitz is a PEN Award–winning writer-in-residence at the New York Public Library, lecturer-in-residence at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, and the author of books including Occult America, One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life, and The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality. Mitch (endorsed by David Lynch as “solid gold”) has written on everything from the war on witches to the secret life of Ronald Reagan for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Salon, Time, Politico, and a wide range of zines and occult journals.

SINGING GARDEN

Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For the past three years musician Nico Georis has been using biofeedback instruments to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and breathtaking. This year, in an outdoor space meant for relaxing and experiencing nature, Mercado Sagrado features Nico interactive sound environment where plants generate the soundtrack. The singing plants reveal the living, evolving compositions generated by the flora itself. Although we don’t understand the science behind plant music yet, time spent in this mind-opening installation offers a tangible experience of the mysterious life force within plants, and may raise some eyebrows as to the potential intelligence of our leafy friends.

Nico Georis is a musician in Big Sur, California. His musical works span from solo piano to cosmic synth, FM radio experiments to interspecies collaborations involving plant-generated music. He also plays in the band Platoon with guitarist Matt Baldwin, as well as his local community rock ’n’ roll ensemble, Sky Country. This year, Nico’s been performing new piano and synthesizer pieces based on evolving cloud formations. Recent shows have also been delving deeper into improvised duets with plants, and the creation of “singing forests”—interactive, plant-generated sound environments.

The ancient book of tarot is a deep well of transformation, insight, and manifestation. Learn about the occult roots of the tarot, and how to use your tarot deck for mystical revelation and heightening your magical practice. This workshop will include guided meditation with the tarot archetypes, suggestions for how to incorporate tarot into your life as a spiritual practice, and will end with a tailored tarot spread to help you tap into your inner magician. Bring a tarot deck to use during the workshop. 

Casey Zabala is an artist, tarot reader, practicing witch, intuitive mystic, and the founder of Modern Witches Confluence. Her self-published tarot deck, Wanderer's Tarot, is a feminist tarot deck for modern witches. With 16 years of tarot experience, Casey has a studied and intuitive approach to her readings, while incorporating elements of natural magic and manifestation techniques. She believes the tarot is a tool for personal empowerment and healing, and hopes to empower others to use the tarot as a vehicle for self-discovery.

BOTANICAL CHROMOTHERAPY: PAINTING WITH PLANT SPIRITS
WITH MARIA CALDERON OF AMARU

This installation and community painting and drawing station by Maria Calderon will offer drawing paper and various fibers allowing attendees to intuitively work with plant-based color from her Plant Spirit collection, a color spectrum of paints and inks that uses both California natives and internationally prized dye plants to achieve a traditional painter’s palette. The line of hues includes traditional artist inks as well as protein paint, which is mainly intended for use on wool and silk. Plant Spirit color is preserved in a blend of organic essential oils and the inks are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory.

Maria Calderon has a BA in Fine Art focusing on painting, color theory, and international folk art history from North Park University in Chicago. Over the years, mixing color from pigments and painting with toxic materials aggravated Maria’s immune system and in 2012 she began to focus on natural dyes and an eco-friendly, sustainable art practice. She’s committed her creative journey to researching the ancient color technology of her current biome along with the traditions of her indigenous Andean relatives.

HERBS FOR THE EXHALE: NOURISHING THE NERVES
WITH LAUREN HAYNES OF WOODEN SPOON HERBS

In 2019, everyone has anxiety. It’s become second nature. But what does our true nature feel like? We're meant to live in a blissful state, not entirely free from conflict, but able to cope with what life throws our way. Let's guide ourselves through this existence leaning on the plant friends that have evolved with us for millennia. We want the herbs for the exhale, the ones that nourish us and hold us as we return to our true nature. These are the nervines, the adaptogens, and all those nourishing foods we use as medicines. Let's circle up and talk about building our lives around nourishment. Fortify to free.

Lauren Haynes is a clinical herbalist, writer, and the founder of Wooden Spoon Herbs who has been communing heavily with the plant realm for the last eight years. She's based in the mountain woodlands of northern Georgia.

NATURE CONNECTION WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN
WITH EVERWILD & FRIENDS

EverWild is providing Sagraditos with a series of nature connection workshops that will deepen each child's relationship to the natural world. A variety of workshops will be provided for children ages 3–12 including Plant Potions, Forest School Field Games, Tea Making, Wildcrafting, Map Making, Primitive Skills Practice, Woodland Whittling, Trail Adventures, Woodland Pendants, and Nature Crowns. LA Nature Kids and Adventure Seeds will be joining EverWild in the Sagraditos area. Single and multi-workshop packages will be available at the entrance of the Sagraditos area. Parents are welcome to attend all workshops with their child. Parents are free (materials not included for parents). Space will be limited. 

EverWild provides unique mentorship experiences for children in L.A.’s most wild spaces, the Santa Monica Mountains and beaches. The 501(c)3 nonprofit was born of the belief that all children deserve a childhood in nature, where learning is self directed, mentor facilitated, and takes place in an organic environment—their backyard. Collaboratively EverWild, their sister school LA Nature Kids, and outdoor program Adventure Seedz, mentor children ages 3–12 for up to 70 hours per week. This communal effort of rewilding the Los Angeles child through deep nature connection is proving to create Earth-conscious stewards of the land. A quick peek into these programs and you’re likely to see children creating shelters with one another, building fairy houses, stomping in puddles, exploring tide pools, and tracking the local wildlife. A closer look will have you witness children initiating countless beach and canyon cleanups, monitoring and engaging in the health of our waterways and wildlife, interacting mindfully with the local flora, and exploring in such a way that protects and preserves the wildness they’ve grown to love.

EverWild is joined by the pioneer of L.A.’s connecting-children-to-nature movement and LA Nature Kids owner, Christopher Pierre. Also joining EverWild and LA Nature Kids is Jessika Hudson, a local herbalist, children’s nature guide, and founder of the outdoor children’s program, Adventure Seedz.
