Who we are...
Sacred I is a heart-centered spiritual collective dedicated to unity, healing, and conscious action. Our outreach programs are in early development, and we’re laying the foundation for meaningful impact:
Reggae for a Reason aims to establish a support fund for reggae musicians facing health challenges, as well as their families in times of loss. Future goals include promoting reggae and Caribbean studies in schools, and partnering with organizations to provide youth with instruments and access to music education.
The Natural Spectrum Project is focused on holistic wellness and plans to collaborate with organizations to support alternative healing pathways and awareness. As we grow, we’ll explore additional partnerships aligned with our mission.
Stay in the loop as we build these initiatives from the roots up—sign up to receive music news, event updates, and opportunities to get involved.
When the Frequency Rises, You’ll Feel It First. Sign up for updates on events, music, and sacred moments.
We’re Building More Than a Gathering — We’re Awakening a Movement.
