Special Guest:
Trevor Hall
Raised on the coast of South Carolina, Trevor Hall discovered early on that music wasn’t just a passion—it was a calling. At sixteen, he recorded his first album and soon after moved to Idyllwild Arts Academy in California, where he studied classical guitar and was introduced to the spiritual traditions that would become central to both his life and his work.B lending roots and folk with subtle electronic textures, Hall’s music explores themes of love, transformation, and connection.
His deeply personal songwriting and global influences have cultivated a loyal fan base and carried him to iconic stages on sold out tours around the world. His live show brings his unique blend of captivating music and soulful storytelling to the stage, illuminating the pivotal moments, travels, and teachings that have shaped his path.
As a special guest during the retreat, Trevor Hall’s performances will offer a rare and tender glimpse into Hall’s inner world. Trevor will join us for two intimate acoustic performances, created exclusively for our group. Set against the stunning backdrop of Rancho Santana, these unplugged concerts offer a unique opportunity to experience his music in an unforgettable setting.
“Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” — Trevor Hall
