"In Search of the Turtle's Navel" is the 1976 debut album by guitarist Will Ackerman. Some consider the album to be the start of New Age music. The album certainly transformed Ackerman from carpenter and head of Windham Hill Builders to musician and executive of Windham Hill Records.

The picture on the album cover is one Will took of his younger sister Eleanor when they were kids.
