Hi, I’m Alex, and I co-lead the Umbrellavation space alongside my soul-sister Ashlee McRae.

This past weekend, Ashlee and her husband generously loaned us their Pioneer XDJ-RX3 DJ decks so we could help create a calm, mindful, and uplifting environment for everyone at Umbrella Weekend.

The event went beautifully. We were able to serve hundreds of attendees—offering meals, good energy, and moments of peace and connection in a world that can often feel chaotic.

Unfortunately, on the final night, the DJ decks were taken. Someone removed them from their case, leaving behind only tangled wires and a bit of heartbreak.

If you feel moved to help us in any way—whether by spreading the word, contributing toward a replacement, or simply sharing a lead—we’d be deeply grateful. And if you happened to take them, or know who did, we’re not here to judge or punish. Mistakes happen. All we ask is that they’re returned. No questions, no legal action—just open hearts and a chance to make things right.

This is about restoring balance and healing a wrong.

Thank you for reading and for being part of our community.

With gratitude,

Alex
