I’m Ronin Cruise.

I spent a large part of my adult life in prison—long enough that it began to shape how I saw the world, and even made me question whether I belonged outside of it.

But something in me wanted more. I started searching for what freedom could really look like for someone with a past like mine.

That journey led me into spaces I never expected—bush doofs, music festivals, and creative communities where something inside me came alive again. It felt like a fire being lit, like a phoenix rising—rediscovering parts of myself I thought were gone.

What I found in these spaces wasn’t just music. It was art, connection, spirituality, and most importantly—healing.

These communities have the power to break down stigma, to help people rewrite their stories, and to show that growth and transformation are always possible.

I’ve written a book about this journey—about finding light in dark places, and the beauty that exists alongside pain and struggle.

My goal is to release it at Earth Frequency 2026. To do that, I’m seeking support to help publish and share this story with a wider audience—so it can reach those who need it most.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can offer.

Big love,

Ronin Cruise
