The Dream World awaits. As the sun sets, we enter the House of Dreams for an evening of cacao, water-tobacco ritual, and healing icaros carried across generations. Beyond a workshop, beyond a concert—this is a direct transmission from the spirit of the Amazon and the unseen heart of the forest.

About the event
The Forest Dreaming: An Evening Transmission
With Manari Ushigua and Jaleh Lauren Bjelde
“There are those who speak of the forest, and there are those who are the forest.”
Manari Ushigua Santi is a living bridge between worlds. Born in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon, he carries the breath of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfathers—the lineage of the Sápara Nation, whose wisdom is recognized as a treasure of humanity. Manari has walked the halls of the United Nations to defend the lungs of our Earth, yet his truest home is Naku: the living, breathing forest.
Tonight, the boundary between the Amazon and Sonoma County dissolves.
Jaleh, the founder of Cosmic Sonics & DreamFest, hosts this evening as a Cultural Bridge and steward of the space. Guided by Manari’s mentorship, she holds the ceremonial arc—inviting us in with the warmth of Cacao and anchoring the forest's energy through her medicine music…
