Featured Event
The Despacho is a ceremony originating from the Andes, which can manifest form itself, through the transmutation of energy. The term Despacho refers to the act of generating an offering of reciprocity. It is a co-creative gift to Mother Earth Pachamama, the Mother star system Mama Chaska, the Sun Inti and the Spirits of the Mountains Apus, that places us in right relationship and right reciprocity with the world of living energy.
It establishes a linkage between our three centers of interaction and the physical Universe; our personal power, our love and our wisdom. The ceremony is an act of co-creating a ‘"mandala" type form, with the specific Quechua language of reciprocity & presence; along with soul memory woven & clear intention- from the individual & the Paqos (mystics). Additionally, sacred herbs, grains, food, jewels and other objects are offered to the Earth, Mountains (Apus), the Stars, Sun & Universe at large; inclusive of All That Is.
We welcome you to join for this rare opportunity, with one of the world’s ancient Indigenous people, in generating a despacho for the Pachamama!
Special Guest: The Ancient Crystal Skull "Rainbow"

Starwater & Sol
Sonic Travelers
United by a deep connection through sound, Bodhi Starwater and Christopher Sol create immersive, transformational journeys that transcend boundaries and take the listener into a deep and relaxing healing space. Their work weaves primordial acoustic instruments and ethereal soundscapes into a natural tapestry that bridges earth and sky.
With over 40 years as a sound healer and musician, Bodhi draws from ancient South American traditions and formal music training. His mastery of diverse instruments, combined with his intuitive artistry, creates deep, transformative resonance that reaches the soul.
Drawing on over a decade of experience of sound healing, Christopher channels the primal power of the didgeridoo, rhythmic instruments and radiant harmonics of the handpan, grounding listeners in the earth’s pulse while lifting them toward the spiritual plane.
Together they merge ancient tones, modern frequencies, and intuitive wisdom. Their music is not performance but invocation—a mythic remembering.

Please join us for the 14th anniversary Peace Village Festival. We started in 2007, so this is our 19th anniversary (we took off a few years) and it is our 18th festival overall (as we produced 4 other festivals besides Peace Village). As the world keeps turning, we are taking heed of Emily Dickinson's reminder that "Love Is All There Is!" We invite you to do the same!
Peace Village is a small, family-friendly, 3-day Festival which hosts about 500 paid attendees each day (plus musicians, presenters, vendors, volunteers, and staff) for a weekend-to-be-remembered at Jackson Wellsprings Hot Mineral Springs Resort in Ashland, Oregon.
Renowned for our carefully curated musical lineups of eclectic singer-songwriters, world folkloric song collectors, and masterful musicians ~ as well as late night electronic dance and pool parties ~ we have some of our favorite artists returning this year (some from recent years, and others from further back in our history) along with a few new discoveries, plus one amazing group we have admired from afar and are extremely excited to share with you for their Peace Village debut, as our Sunday night main stage headliner!
Our afternoon and evening performances take place on an outdoor Earth and Stone Stage with a steep hillside behind it, in a lush, sacred meadow, creating a strong, grounded comm-unity vibe. We also feature group participation song circles with some of our musicians, yoga sessions, cacao ceremonies, unique workshops, our healing sanctuary, kid village, the Goddess Temple of Ashland, an artisan and vendor village, and so much more!
Having started in 2007, Peace Village Festival is the longest running and the largest Summer Peace, Music, Arts, and Wellness Festival in Southern Oregon! This year's Peace Village Festival will take place June 26-28 at Jackson Wellsprings Hot Mineral Springs Resort in Ashland, Oregon, from 4pm - 2:30am on Friday, 11am - 2:30am on Saturday, & 11am - 11pm Sunday. Featuring a local and national lineup of world renowned and beloved musicians, the festival offers both familiar and new music in a variety of genres.

Cost: $72
The Mikvah is situated in the heart of Nature
where living waters from three warm water
springs flow into Wildcat Gulch. The continual
flow of artesian water into the pool fulfills the
Jewish requirements of “mayeem hayem,”
an obligation that the Mikvah receives
“living water.” Surrounded by overhanging
gardens, the pool is visited hourly by
dragonflies, butterflies, and small fish,
thereby reinforcing the commitment that the
Mikvah is a living sanctuary. Rock terraces
have been carved into the hillsides, replete
with garden beds planted with medicinal
herbs whose intertwining roots secure the
valuable topsoil and stabilize the fragile slopes
apple island
A small island, created by the streams that run through the property. A quiet sanctuary beside the goddess temple, complete with gardens, apple tree, Bear Woman, and a healthy population of very vocal bullfrogs
