Meet January’s Artist
Maria Zepeda
Maria’s journey has been one of rebirths, shaped by both the light and shadows of life. Raised in Montana, she found her voice through nature, her mother’s song, and learning guitar beside her father.
Though personal traumas silenced Maria for years, she rediscovered her voice through songwriting, where music became her medicine—a tool for healing and connection.
Deeply inspired by nature’s cycles of birth, death, and renewal, Maria transforms her life experiences into sound, song, and storytelling. Through performance, workshops, and ceremony, Maria creates bold spaces for healing, while sharing what she’s cultivated in faith - a dedication to empowering others to find their embodied voice and to take love-led action toward co-creating the world we are here to honor and care for.
