Unfurl invites you to explore the possibilities and depth of your life. It's a reminder that even the dreams left dormant can resurface and flourish when given the chance.

 

Unfurl is both a personal journey and a shared experience of awakening to the beauty of life and to what’s waiting to take form within you. Created over two and a half years in the quiet beauty of the Eastern Sierra, these songs emerged intuitively, magically, playfully, and delicately. I am honored to share this deep work with you.

 

This is our home. This is our one life.

May these songs fold like wings around your heart.

"Unfurl is imbued with deep wisdom that reflects Sara's deepest wishes for the planet and all of humankind, conveyed with impeccable eloquence through her one-of-a-kind musical style and expressive use of language."

-Shaun Diaz, Cellist & Composer

A story of deep dreams and the restless wildness that stirs within. What you dream of is already within you, waiting for you to say yes. Keep her close, and she will rise, soon as you are ready.

A fierce song that seeks a culture of empowered expression for all. Your voice is your power. Stand up, step up, speak up. Courage isn't far behind.

A romantic, dreamlike journey through the night. Walk through the desert and watch the moon rise on the horizon. Feel the push and pull between wanting to embrace what’s ahead and the doubt that holds you back. Come for the beauty of the vocals and the cello, stay for the surprise ending.

A call to come to terms with what’s weighing on you. An invitation to be heard, to step into the space that feels vulnerable but will ultimately lighten and liberate you. A song that knows and compassionately acknowledges the weight of what you hold inside.

An earthy, intimate song that paces between haunting and luminous as it tells a story of an encounter in the woods. The need for connection laced with a self-protective hesitation. The lyrics are both a plea and an offering, a call to stay and be seen, to share in the healing of two vulnerable beings. The quiet moments of pulling thorns reflect the fleeting yet powerful bond formed in that shared experience, where both leave lighter, and changed forever.

Explore the delicate relationship between vulnerability and empowerment, identities of prey and predator, the vulnerability of loving deeply, the raw tension of surrender and survival. Enter the mouth of a wolf, where danger and intimacy coexist.

A dreamy languid afternoon amongst wildflowers, lulled by the sounds of the stream, a dalliance by the woods, a little bit in love, you feel so present that you become at peace with all of your unknowns.

Thickets is a journey with that tangled, conflicted feeling when you are struggling to accept that letting go is the only way forward. The painful experience of mutual liberation, the confusion of the thickets, the gradual recognition of the absence of their voice upon your name. It’s about surrender, growth, and finding meaning in the hardest goodbyes.

An intimate song of anticipation and longing, waiting far longer than you wish to wait in a slow, teasing process of something unfolding. It’s reaching for something that may be just out of reach, and not truly meant for you. The discovery that the beautiful feelings you seek are in fact already within you.

A deeply emotional, powerful piece grappling with the vulnerability of our natural world, and the struggle to reconcile our potential for harmony and the reality of our destructive impact. A song of grief, love, and hope for this planet and the human collective.

A contemplative song that explores the human struggle to make sense of and integrate the pain and beauty of life. It speaks to the need for solitude and time in the processing of it all. It veers from personal to existential territory with the question: Do you think we're a far cry from the gods? An introspective exploration of morality and mortality. 

Dash from the Other Side captures the energy of uncertainty and the unnerving thrill of change. It's about the twists and turns of life, the glimpses of what might be, and the search for direction amidst chaos. The song conveys the experience of facing a pivotal moment not with confident strides, but with a hurried, almost blind dash, driven by necessity rather than comfort or clarity. A reflection on the uneasy journey through profound transitions.

A mantra declaring a commitment to return to one's sacred place of decision-making and learning. 

The song is weaves between the vast, open landscapes of the Eastern Sierra and the intimate conversations we have with ourselves and each other about who we are and what is most important to us. It invites you as the witness and the creator to shape the way your life unfolds, with a loving plea to live deeply and meaningfully, as this is it - your one chance. Rife with double meanings.
