Who we are supporting:
The Conscious Growth Convergence is an annual 4-day land-based gathering rooted in community resilience and regenerative culture. In 2026 it brought 4-days of cultural exchange, ecological education, music, art, and ceremony to Lost Valley Education Center on the ancestral lands of the Kalapuya people. Generations and traditions met, relationships deepened, and a village came alive through the gifts of this community.
Although the gathering sold out. Ticket sales do not cover the cost of continuing the event. There is a large seed investment required to book a gathering of this size each year, a $10K loan was taken out to help fund the gathering this year, and Conscious Growth's year-round revillaging program is not yet fully funded. To continue its work, Conscious Growth needs a stronger foundation of community giving, donors, sponsors, and funding partners.

Lineup
WaterEye
Water Eye: A One Woman Band Could it be sexy live looped rhythmic soul stew? Could it be lyrical fluttering on a bed of synthesized music sheets? Could it be architectured layers of cascading vocals and instrumental soundscapes? Could it be improvphetically h2Oracled channeled presence poetry? Could it be trans-genre, out of the box, songs longer than 3 minutes, how is she doing that all by herself, i can dance to this, sound fusion? Could it be YES, AND? Offering ‘trans-genre’ sound that moves your hearts, minds and bodies. Water Eye channels divine imagination; weaving intricate lyrics over soundscapes created by live looping instruments and layering vocals. Water Eye evokes styles that range from ‘ambient now age soul folk’ to ‘down tempered hippy hop’. The vibe comes through strongest and clearest in the art and heart of Water Eye’s freestyle. Some of Water Eye’s special effects and favorite things to do; is ask the listeners and participants for words or subjects, have them come to the altar and draw a card, or dance their prayer and then freestyle improvise a song for the moment. This has inspired healing tears, holy laughter and palpably potent heart centered presence. For Water Eye, this is the highest gift she can channel. To facilitate a felt sense of the mystery that weaves awake our awareness of the One Mind, One Heart, One Spirit, One Love that unites us all. “I gave my name to Water in 2009; for the prayer of the water that is life; that calls us to live pure, in beauty and truth, and in the flow of right relation with all life. I strive to emanate this beauty way through my life and creativity.” Having had the privilege to travel the world sharing her muse and offerings at festivals like Imagine and Beloved as well as open for conscious culture icons like Porangui, Yaima, Ayla Nereo to name a few. Water Eye currently resides in Portland, Oregon as a creative community member, sharing her music locally, at festivals, and ecstatic dances.
