Mission
Future Sound of Nature (FSON) blends the soul of electronic music with the rhythms of the Earth to nurture the ecosystems and communities where we live and gather. Our goal is simple: to nourish the web that interconnects us.
We are a community of artists, musicians and nature lovers, cultivating a habitat for electronic music, creative work and community events that channel the voices and sounds of nature as co-creator. We're here to help humans remember that we are all part of Earth’s beautiful interconnected web of life, and it's up to us to take care of it. WE ARE ALL NATURE!
With gratitude for the indigenous and elders who came before us, we honor the profound bond between humans and the ecosystems that we live in–creating opportunities for people to come together, get creative, and connect with the world around them. Our values revolve around the fundamental principle of REGENERATION: leaving the communities and ecosystems where we live and gather better than we found them.

Gut Feeling
Raised between Venezuela and New York, my life's journey is driven by a deep respect for various cultures, majorly expressed through food. My quest for unique global flavors and authentic culinary experiences has evolved into a love for healthy, culturally-sensitive eating. Currently, I channel my energy into Nutritional counseling through Gut Feeling Consulting, a one-on-one gut-health-centered practice that explores the root cause of all dysfunctions and traces them back to digestive function. This work allows me to blend my passion for cultural food traditions with promoting holistic health.
