Below are a few samples of some of Moon31's work producing and curating smaller, more intimate events:
Moon31 / Quepasana Musician's Retreat
Both inspired, and as a way to process the tragic loss of close friend Meghan Stabile of Revive Music in 2022, we here at Moon31 have begun a bi-annual 10-day Vipassana retreat, put together in partnership with the Quepasana Foundation to address the tremendous issues surrounding mental health that plague jazz and hip hop industry. Focused on providing a space for artists and industry members to learn about and benefit from the practice of Vipassana meditation, Wim Hof, and Yin yoga, this collaboration puts together an event focused on creating a safe disconnect among peers whilst providing tools individuals, artists, and industry members can take with them on the road to better navigate the grueling schedules and toxic environments that come with touring and the music industry.
​
Based in Maui, HI, and having begun in 2024, this event brings 10-15 individuals in March every 2 years in a fully covered 10 day experience, complete with high quality food and lodging, on a beautiful reserve on the southwest coast of the island. Below are a few testimonials and pictures of the property from the 2024 experience. You can read full testimonials (without names, to protect their privacy) here.​

meeting of the minds (motm).
MOTM is a bi-monthly meetup bringing together those interested in enrichment through feedback, workshopping ideas, and improving themselves.
​
Loosely Inspired by Benjamin Franklin's "Junto Club" and Napoleon Hill's "Think And Grow Rich", these gatherings occur regularly as we aim to choose to surround ourselves with inspiring, great people, constantly working on ourselves in a safe space.
​
Meetings are completely analog (phones off) and aim to leave everyone feeling connected, inspired, and energized after each meeting. Collectively we have created a general list of guidelines and best practices to ensure meetings run smoothly. Guidelines can be found here.

the astor party.
Art isn't meant to be constrained. It's meant to be an expression of our true inner selves -- no rules, no boxes, no judgement. That's what The Astor Party is about -- getting comfortable in your own skin, and expressing yourself through art and raw creativity. ​
The Astor Party is the best jam and art-making event there is. We scream heartfelt lyrics at the top of our lungs, grab instruments that we've never played, move in ways that we want to move, and let it all go. Get ready to find yourself doing the worm in the middle of a dance circle, painting wildly, and singing songs not written yet, with your newest friends. Because here, everyone supports your right to do what you want to do, and how you want to do it.
