Just past Pappy & Harriet's, Pioneertown Road makes a sharp right, then left.
Follow for approximately 3.5 miles to Pipes Canyon Road and turn right. (Pioneertown Road and Pipes Canyon road are the only paved roads in the area so if you are on a dirt road, you're off the path)

Acacia is a dirt road.

MYSTICAL TIDBITS
Pipes Canyon Lodge is a beautiful home on 18 acres of land that borders the Sand to Snow National Monument - 154,000 acres of protected desert and mountain land. Directly across from the house is Black Lava Butte, a stunning mass of rock standing tall over the property. It was once a place where Serrano Indian Chiefs and Shamans performed ceremonial rituals and dances on the peak. It is sacred ground.
Photography
Our good friend Rebecca Zephyr Thomas will be documenting the event. Her work has appeared in i-D, GQ Style, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Bullett, Tank, Dazed and Confused, Dansk, Juke, Nylon, L'Officiel, Flaunt, Little Joe, Wall Street Journal and Vice magazines. Lulu and Rebecca met in London in 2003 and have been causing trouble together since. Rebecca is currently working on a few projects in New Zealand, but flying out for the wedding! We plan on visiting her and getting a special underground tour of NZ when we go for our honeymoon. See her work here:

Soft dreams
Let these inspire you until the big day.
the Story
Love is like wine
Good stuff takes time.
Phil and Lulu have known one another for many lives. In one of their earlier incarnations, Lulu remembers saying goodbye to Phil on a cliff before he left their city on a large boat for a reason that is unknown. She knew he wouldn't be coming back in that lifetime. They would have to wait.
When they met in 2011, they tried to rekindle their past life connection, but both had areas in their lives that needed attention before they were ready to join forces. They parted ways, but remained casual acquaintances, checking in from time to time. Three years passed, they crossed paths again, and this time, they knew they were ready.
After spending some time together as friends (going to events, movies and concerts together), Phil invited Lulu on a road trip to Big Sur. They shared several days together under the trees and stars. That's where they fell in love and their epic journey began.
Today they invite you to one of their favorite places to go for inspiration and connection as they unite and continue living their mantra, forever into the sunset... everyday is Saturday.
