What is the Awake Earth vision?

Awake Earth is a community and heart-centered approach to a festival! 

 

This festival is an extension and amplification of our daily celebration of life here at Awake Uvita, in which we create space to connect more deeply to Mother Earth, ourselves and each other. Our intention is for you to leave inspired, energized and even transformed. This festival will be an intimate one--we are making only 450 tickets available.  And it will take what we feel is a healthier approach to what a festival can be:  mainstage sound no later than midnight; energy to participate in our pillar practices like yoga, breathwork, authentic relating and meditation; and engaging in profound talks on community building, herbalism, permaculture, freedom and bitcoin. And dancing! There will be plenty of dancing and communing under the stars alongside the Uvita river.​ Awake Earth is a family-friendly gathering and there will be no alcohol vending. If this calls to you, please join us and pick up one of the limited tickets today. Blessings!

 

Creating together a taste of what the New Earth can be.

Abstract Horizon

Meet The Artists

AYLA NEREO

“One of the most poignant voices currently floating about… Ayla Nereo is an otherworldly artist who shares the fruits of her soul.”  (The Huffington Post)

 “[Ayla’s] relationship with the earth is imprinted in her music… expansive and intriguing.” (Billboard)

Ayla Nereo is a creature of forests and rivers, a bridger of the timeless and modern, a musician and poet weaving forth a magical and emotional world of sonic beauty. Lyrical meditations and riddles of language dance into wondrous tapestries of sound and story, from electronic folk ballads to celtic melodies and elvin loop-pedal mantras. 

With an uncanny ability to crack open the heart, Ayla's songs are an ode to the wonder of being human, inviting us deeper into the exquisite and innately psychedelic dream of this moment.
