Everywhen in the Woods

SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS

APRIL 2026

We brought DynaMandala to the first-ever Everywhen in the Woods, set deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where music, art, workshops, and community all wove together into something immersive and alive. The setting itself felt aligned with the piece: open, exploratory, and quietly charged with possibility.

We were placed in a small forest cabin, dubbed the chill room. The space also housed live musical performances and a tea ceremony. People would step in, engage for a while, drift out, and then circle back again, often bringing others with them. It became less of a pass-through and more of a place to settle, explore, and reconnect.

The response was overwhelmingly positive. Rave reviews, repeat players, and a wide range of ages all stepping into the work. There was a clear moment, again and again, when it seemed to click; curiosity turned into engagement, and engagement into something shared.
