 Honey of the Heart Late Summer Update
Upcoming Fall Shows • A Note from the Road
Dear Beloved Community,
Fall is gently approaching, and with it comes a wave of gratitude, reflection, and new momentum as we tune into the change in the winds & land and prepare for an exciting season of music and connection.
First, a quick apology:
Some of you may have noticed a sudden flurry of three emails in August (happy very belated Solstice?). That wasn’t our intention! Bandzoogle (our mailing platform) experienced a glitch, and they’ve assured us it was a one-time issue. We pride ourselves on sending thoughtful, timely updates — not inbox floods — and we’re grateful for your understanding and grace.
 Upcoming Shows & Offerings (by date):
THIS SUNDAY! An intimate evening with special guest Joel Karabo Elliott, 5–8 PM
Let’s gather for soul-filled songs under the stars. Get your tickets ASAP. This might be our last outdoor concert of the season.
in NVC tools with Maren Metke & Justin Ancheta
2–5 PM | A nourishing afternoon of heart-centered connection and skills for higher quality connection, empowerment and deeper presence. Ongoing practice and community building will follow 
We hit the stage early at 7 PM for a special video & audio shoot.
Come co-create with us and be part of the art, in the lush sound and scape of the Grass Valley Center for the Arts space and crew! These productions lead us toward supporting our upcoming album release, filled with new tunes that have been hungry for the full attention and space to be known, embodied and captured. And we are sharing this evenings' bill with our new friend Geoff Eido, who plays after us around 8 pm.
Please join us for this production, don your finest threads, and get your tickets now. 
 September 19–21 | The Hearth, Grass Valley, CA

A Heartfelt Thank You + Support for Honey of the Heart – Our Family Band Needs You:
Our recent Pacific Northwest Tour was powerful. From the cozy house concerts to vibrant festival stages, we were met with so much love and energy, and  blessed with gratifying collaborations, generous, warm hosts and meaningful visits with dear ones. We’re still landing from the magic   — and also recovering from some very unexpected, expensive challenges — from a major  RV repair, to a fallen tree at our home, and a broken AC system (all at once), totaling over $35,000 in expenses. Whew… If you feel called to help sustain our music, offerings, and family through this time, we welcome your supporting us deeply, both logistically and financially. We’re exploring the possibility of a GoFundMe to help offset the loss and will share more soon for those who feel called to support. Meanwhile if anyone needs a top notch gem-of-a-human auto mechanic in the Eugene area, we've got you covered!  Angels are everywhere!  
 And of course, simply coming to a show is enough and a powerful way to support us. Your presence, energy, and love mean the world to us.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
With love, music, and deep gratitude,
~ Maren & Justin
