In case you missed it, this past weekend was Mercado Sagrado's artisanal marketplace, located in a private oak grove in Malibu Canyon. As expected, the event was delightfully crunchy, hosting an enchanting escape for those looking for hippie healing, sustainable style, handmade art, awe-inspiring installations, and general earthy inspiration.

Given that the two-day gathering offered all kinds of eye candy, we captured some of the best moments from our visit, from whimsical nature nuggets (tranquil ponds, friendly ponies) to star sightings (Erin Wasson, Lisa Bonet, Marissa Tomei). Explore it all above.
