Sequoia Sunrise

Sequoia Sunrise is a camp-out gathering equatable to a micro-festival in certain aspects. Sequoia Sunrise is a gathering of 250+ friends, camping in nature over the course of 2-3 nights. All attendees contribute to the success of the event in any way they can. There are two family-style meals each day prepared by attendees for each other. Each day features activities and workshops led by attendees for one another - ranging from yoga, archery, fire-building, sustainability training, pranamaya breathing techniques, live podcast recording, acro, nature walks, crafting, etc. Musical performances by attendees take place throughout the day and into the night. There have been two iterations of the event to date and a third is planned for New Years Eve 2019.

As the visionary behind Sequoia Sunrise, I helped lead the team that brought about its inception. Through each event, I’ve gained first-hand experience with leading a team, empowering others, conveying ideas in a concise manner, effective collaboration, and the importance of developing efficient systems.
