Secret Valley 2025 was everything we had hoped it would be, and we’ve been absolutely flooded with your love, your gratitude, and your beautiful reflections. The stories, the dance floors, the connections... This community is something special.

But here’s the honest truth: Behind the sparkle, we’ve been hit hard.

Despite careful budgeting and a mountain of love poured in, we came out just over $10,000 short after covering the full cost of infrastructure, insurances, safety, and everything it takes to pull off an event of this scale.

And just when we thought we could breathe — after 4 days of bumping out and cleaning the land to restore it to its pre-event glory — Matty hit a kangaroo on the way home in the hire truck. Now we’re facing a $4,400 excess for repairs that we hadn’t budgeted for. It’s a rough blow at the end of an already massive push.

If Secret Valley has moved you, shaped you, or reminded you of what’s possible when humans come together, now’s the time to give back. If you don't have the means to donate, sharing this fundraiser with a few kindred spirits goes a long way too.

We love you. We see you. We are so, so grateful to be on this journey with you. Let’s keep building the dream together.

With love,

Matty, Mel and the Secret Valley crew
