Brad & Sarah
La Matriztica was born from a shared devotion to creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves in an honest, grounded, and deeply supported way.
Over many years, Brad and Sarah have dedicated themselves to the study of ancestral traditions, personal practice, and the lifelong path of self-inquiry. Their work is guided by humility, integrity, and a profound respect for the lineages and communities that have shaped them.
Brad brings a quiet steadiness that invites presence. Sarah weaves together music, prayer, intuition, and the wisdom of the feminine to create spaces that feel both deeply rooted and profoundly alive.
Together, they hold each gathering with care and intention, trusting that every person already carries the wisdom they are seeking. Their role is simply to create the conditions where that remembering can unfold.
Brad has dedicated his life to walking a path of service.
For decades, he has devoted himself to the study of ancestral traditions, immersing himself in practices that continue to shape both his life and his work. Among them, he has spent more than twenty years studying within the Bwiti tradition, cultivating a profound relationship with the sacred fire and the wisdom it carries.
Over the years, Brad has held space for thousands of people with a rare combination of unwavering steadiness, humility, and authenticity. He leads by example rather than by proclamation, allowing his actions to speak long before his words ever need to. His quiet confidence is balanced by warmth, humor, and a genuine love for life, reminding us that depth doesn't have to take itself so seriously.
As a father, a devoted partner to Sarah, and a man committed to his own growth, Brad embodies a grounded expression of masculine leadership, one that is protective without controlling, strong without hardening, and deeply rooted in compassion. His ability to honor both strength and tenderness creates an atmosphere where people feel genuinely safe to arrive exactly as they are.
Whether he's tending the fire, sharing a laugh, offering a thoughtful perspective, or simply sitting in silence, Brad has a remarkable way of helping people feel seen, supported, and welcomed. His presence invites trust because he has spent a lifetime earning it.
Sarah Saso sees life as ceremony.
The way we prepare food, tend a fire, raise a child, welcome a stranger, care for the earth, or sit in prayer are, to her, all expressions of the same devotion.
Raised among the redwood forests of Northern California by parents who lived close to the land, Sarah learned early that nature is the greatest teacher. That understanding continued to deepen through her studies in ethnographic anthropology, years of immersion with Indigenous communities, decades of self-sustainable living in Costa Rica, and, perhaps most profoundly, through motherhood. Each experience became another way of asking the same question: What does it mean to live in right relationship - with ourselves, with one another, and with life itself?
For decades, Sarah has held space for thousands of people with unwavering integrity, fierce compassion, and an extraordinary capacity to see the humanity in everyone who crosses her path. She leads through relationship rather than hierarchy, inviting people not to adopt new beliefs, but to remember the wisdom that already lives within them. Her gift lies in weaving together music, prayer, story, beauty, and truth in ways that feel both deeply ancestral and profoundly relevant to modern life.
Over the years, Sarah has helped cultivate a community rooted in reverence, responsibility, and unconditional love. Her work is inspired by the living intelligence of nature and by the understanding that the Mother is not simply a figure, but the force that gives life, receives life, and teaches us how to belong to it.
Whether she is preparing an altar, singing a prayer, sharing a meal, or welcoming someone into her home, Sarah reminds us that what is sacred is never separate from ordinary life. It is found in the way we love, the way we serve, and the way we choose to walk through the world.
