EAST FOREST

(Boise, Idaho)

Since 2008, East Forest has used music to guide listeners through modern journeys of deep introspection. The electro-acoustic project has remained primarily a solo effort (of Krishna-Trevor Oswalt), straddling the worlds of ambient, neoclassical, electronic and indie-pop. 

Whether via his Music For Mushrooms: A Soundtrack For The Psychedelic Practitioner album series, his collaborative spoken word album with Ram Dass, or one of his communal “Ceremony Concerts,” East Forest’s goal has always been “building bridges and creating an approach that’s grounded, embodied, unarguable and for everybody.”

His latest album Music For The Deck of The Titanic is an homage to the infamous ship’s musicians who spent their last hours playing songs for passengers. Beautiful, poignant and extremely human, it’s a reprieve in a fast-moving world, built around an acoustic backbone of live drums, stand-up bass, earnest vocals and intimate piano.

MARISA RADHA WEPPNER

(Boise, Idaho)

Radha is driven by a desire to understand what it means to be human, the nature of reality and what is God. Her offerings aim to create a state of union within oneself for a felt sense of the ineffable. She helps individuals turn knowledge to wisdom by cultivating a connection to Self and a tangible sense of the deepest Truths of existence. Merging ancient wisdom with direct experience, she creates a grounded, safe and expansive environment in which to explore one’s inner world. She has extensive experience working with groups and individuals to help them heal core wounds, release limiting beliefs, and create a life of depth, meaning, and purpose.

Radha is a 1000 hr Nosara Yoga Master Educator and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training. She has been facilitating transformation and self-awakening for over two decades through a variety of settings including classes, retreats, community organizing, guiding journeys, and private coaching. She is a faculty member of Esalen Institute, the co-owner of Source Meditation Space, and a therapist at Boise Ketamine Clinic. Her meditation album Guidance, with music by East Forest, is available on all streaming platforms and she is also the host of the podcast Love, Service, Wisdom.
