  • “I left feeling more open and receptive than I have felt in decades.”

    — L. Colon, participant, Ecological Tuning Session

  • "At once a cure for secular isolation and something of a fringe religion itself, Nocturnal Medicine brings those trapped in their digital lives back to their senses—all five, and all at once."

    — Kathleen Alcott, participant, Chaos Blossoms

  • "An incredibly deft synthesis of ritual, meditation, and a spiritual-anthropological treasure hunt....thrilling, mournful and smart in equal measure."

    — Caroline Crumpacker, partner, Sun Stone Abyss

  • "The event was clearly conceived with the conceptual depth of a fine art, the exacting precision of an architect, and the soulful energy of a spiritual ceremony."

    — Leo Miller, participant, Under the Tongue

  • "Their work offers nothing less than profound revelations that cannot come soon enough. This is urgent, vital work, and we are being invited to participate in the most pleasurable way imaginable."

    — Althea Northcross, participant, Sun Stone Abyss

  • "This experience re-injected every ounce of life and creativity I yearned for."

    — Bianca Lee, participant, Earth Dreams

  • "This gathering made space for intense feelings and play—a combination that moves us into a more hopeful sphere of speculation about the future."

    — Sea Taylor, participant, Ecological Tuning Session
