For this special edition of The Heartland Gathering, three deeply rooted artists from Jamaica come together in collaboration to offer The Sounds We Share—a communal journey of sound, song, and storytelling. Drawing from ancestral memory, nature-based wisdom, and the healing power of music, this trio invites listeners into a space of reflection, connection, and collective resonance.
Together, these three artists offer a soulful invocation—an invitation to listen deeply, remember freely, and move in rhythm with one another. The Sounds We Share is not a performance—it is a living, breathing offering.
Elizabeth is a ceremony musician, yoga teacher, and co-facilitator at Beckley Retreats. She is also a powerful storyteller through sound, using her voice to carry the songs, stories, and spirit of the island. Her music draws from deep ancestral wells, and her presence invites people into remembrance, softness, and connection.
Since 2014, she has served as the founder of TrueSelf Centre, a beloved wellness hub in Kingston, Jamaica, which offers healing practices for people of all ages. Her work is rooted in community building and collective care—creating spaces where people feel supported, seen, and inspired in their day-to-day lives.
Music remains a powerful tool for healing in her offerings. Whether in a ceremony or around a fire, Elizabeth’s voice holds space in a way that helps others open, release, and remember.
As she so beautifully puts it, “I am especially eager to offer music as part of this experience, and hope that everyone is able to carry a song with them into their lives.”
Jeremy is a Jamaican-Austrian composer, producer, performer, and multi-instrumentalist whose work spans jazz, classical, reggae, tribal soundscapes, and ceremonial music. The son of renowned Jamaican musicians, Jeremy grew up immersed in music, going on to become one of Jamaica’s most respected film composers.
Based in Kingston, he creates everything from commercial scores to meditative sound journeys for yoga and psychedelic spaces. He also curates The Jam is Back, a weekly live music experience in Kingston celebrating sonic diversity and creativity.
Micah is a farmer, artist, and sustainable development consultant, as well as a land steward, firekeeper, and sacred space holder deeply connected to nature and indigenous wisdom. At just 17 years old, he co-founded Rastafari Indigenous Village in Montego Bay—a cultural center and sanctuary for artists, musicians, farmers, and healers.
Raised on a rural farm through homeschooling, Micah was immersed from a young age in the customs of indigenous peoples and the beauty of living in harmony with nature. These early teachings sparked a lifelong journey into alternative wellness, entheogenic plants, and intentional community building across Jamaica.
At Beckley Retreats, Micah facilitates ceremonies and holds space for transformational work. He is passionate about helping to reestablish a sense of oneness between humanity and the Earth, and he finds deep purpose in creating safe, empowering experiences that allow people to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.
As he beautifully shares, “The transformation of self leads to the transformation of community and the world.”
