Every month we gather with our local heroic environmental stewards of TreePeople to love on live music and hot tea along a ridge trail of the Santa Monica Mountains. Once we’ve held time together to share in meaningful art, warm tea, a sunset, and good conversation, TreePeople’s eco educators then split us into three different hiking groups for peoples of all ages and abilities to learn more about the native ecology and history of these mountains.
For this Earth Month Moonlight Hike we’re soooo excited to welcome Melbourne-based IKSRE (I Keep Seeing Rainbows Everywhere) to Los Angeles for a very special live performance of atmospheric and environmental music underneath her native eucalyptus trees. Before IKSRE we’ll also be treated to a DJ set from our dear friend Cynthia Bernard, also known as marine eyes, who will be sharing music that highlights the international artists of her incredible cloud collecting series.
Bring a blanket, pour some tea, and bliss in.
Check-in and music begins around 6:30pm, IKSRE will start shortly after 7pm, and we split into our hiking groups promptly at 8pm. Parking is limited so we ask that you please rsvp with us in advance.

IKSRE (I Keep Seeing Rainbows Everywhere) is the solo moniker of Naarm/Melbourne-based multi instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and sound healer Phoebe Dubar.
Phoebe’s music is characterized by her textural vocals, field recordings, verdant strings, and bass-forward synths to create a unique blend of place based ambience.
She has released seven solo albums to date, facilitates sound healing ceremonies, and has received widespread acclaim from international radio to The Wire magazine who called her “seriously slept on”.
Born in 1973 from the hopes and dreams of a teenager, TreePeople is now one of the largest environmental organizations headquartered in Southern California.
They have inspired, engaged, and supported more than 3 million people to take action for our environment by planting and caring for more than 3 million trees in our local forests, mountains, parks, and our neighborhoods. Through on-the-ground research and educational programs, TreePeople shares knowledge with policymakers, students, educators, and communities around the world.
After fires burn, TreePeople reforests. When schools are covered in concrete, TreePeople creates green schoolyards. When communities experience food insecurity, TreePeople distributes fruit trees. When California is drought-stricken, TreePeople designs solutions to capture rainwater. As the world faces increasing threats from a more hostile climate, TreePeople helps create actionable solutions.
