Put on your virtual headset and step into the heart of a spontaneous ritual of rhythm, joy, and unity, captured in full 360° on the sands of Venice Beach, California.

Every Sunday, strangers become collaborators in this iconic open drum circle, an improvised, facilitator-free gathering where harmony emerges naturally through listening, presence, and play. In this 4-minute clip filmed during golden hour on July 13th, 2025, you’ll witness the magnetic pull of this phenomenon as passersby are drawn in by the rising energy, joining the circle with dance, drums, and uninhibited spirit.

This isn’t just music. It’s a living, breathing experience, an organic collective ritual that modern society rarely makes space for. Yet here, on this stretch of beach, people of all walks of life find rhythm together.

July 27, 2025 from 12-6pm, a day of live music, art, dance, storytelling, food, drinks, and more at Oakwood Park, 767 California Ave, Venice, CA 90291.

Malibu is one of the most iconic surf breaks in the world—and this is what it’s like when the waves show up. This short film blends natural sound, cinematic visuals, and storytelling narration to give you a feel for both sides of Malibu: the stillness... and the storm. This episode captures a classic Malibu morning. The beach started calm. Quiet. Almost empty. But the lineup? Packed. Surfers battling for position in the middle of some seriously good waves.
