Having the beautiful music of Jon and Dr. Sabine Sherman at the blessing and on the video truly enhanced the experience for all involved.

Through gentle vocal harmonies accompanied by guitar and self-made branch flutes, husband and wife musical duo  Jon & Sabine  share their original eco-folk songs in celebration and defense of California’s natural community.

Adelia Sandoval is uniquely gifted and everyone in attendance at the land blessing was grateful for her creating this joyful journey for us to experience. She is a master storyteller, has a deep connection to the Earth, and is the Spiritual Overseer for the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians/Acjachemen Nation.

The Acjachemen people are the indigenous people of Orange County in Southern California with a connection to the land at Big Oak Canyon. In addition to storytelling, Adelia shares her Acjachemen culture through art, writing, and singing.

She is a Ceremonial Leader, Song Keeper, Wisdom Holder, Tribal teacher, and healer.

With their compassionate, eco-centric perspective and style, they sing for the waterfalls, wildflowers, oak trees, coyotes, steelhead trout, mountain lions, and blue butterflies.

They sing about climate disruption and the extinction crisis. And they sing to turn the culture around toward regenerative, life-sustaining ways of living. 

Jon & Sabine  are currently recording their first album together, Calling Us Home, a collection of 15 original eco-folk songs.
