“Reigniting Reverence”
A Fundraiser Supporting the Historic Olympic Valley Chapel
Olympic Valley, CA – On Saturday, September 27th from 4–7pm
We invite you to gather at the incredible Olympic Valley Chapel for "Reigniting Reverence" - a soul-nourishing fundraiser designed to rekindle connection, inspire presence, and support one of the region’s most iconic sacred spaces.
This collaborative gathering will feature an evening of movement, breathwork, and sacred music, led by a lineup of local and traveling movement facilitators, musicians, and healers: Kaila Leilani, Emily Tessmer, Matthew Hara, Joss Jaffe, Colleen Akiko, Colombe Tresan, Nicole Koch, and Tiffany Callaway.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sierra Nevada and held within the architectural wonder of the Olympic Valley Chapel, the event invites guests to reconnect to themselves, to one another, and to the deeper meaning these sacred spaces hold in today’s world.
“In a time when so many feel disconnected and overwhelmed, places like the Chapel offer something rare: stillness, beauty, and the reminder that we’re not alone,” says event co-organizer Kaila Leilani, a local acupuncturist, healer, and founder of ZIVA Wellness. “This gathering is an invitation to remember the power of presence and to support the longevity of a space that allows it.”
Reigniting Reverence is open to all, regardless of background or experience. Donations collected will directly support the preservation, stewardship, and future programming of the Olympic Valley Chapel as both a spiritual sanctuary and community gathering place for residents and visitors to North Lake Tahoe. This beloved space continues to serve as a hub for healing, connection, and reverent gathering, now and for generations to come.

Olympic Valley Chapel’s award-winning design was the first of its kind. The building quickly became known as the “potato chip” church because of its resemblance to a Pringles potato chip. This is the story behind its unusual design, why it was built, and the connection with the Olympic Valley community today - Click Here
