Why are aliens putting on a festival in Montana?
It's a long story... But in short, The Glarphonians teamed up with Montanan Ty Walker to create their 'country band', and are on a mission to save Earth through learning and teaching about how to heal the fractured frequency fields of the Earth's universe. You'll learn more about it at MooshFest!
What is “frequency healing”?
Frequency healing is our playful term for experiences that help people reconnect — sound baths, meditation, yoga, deep listening, movement, community, and live music. Think less medical claim, more “tune yourself.”

Not likely, but we cannot promise that.
