Mose & Sam Garrett Live Set
These artist need no introduction. Mose and Sam Garrett will open our hearts to new possibilities.

Mose is based in Guatemala where cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol.

Beyond the multicultural rhythms and the steady hypnotic beat, Mose weaves ephemeral chanting of sacred songs and calls to love, kindness and compassion, often bringing in live musicians to create something improvisational connected with that particular place and time. He creates with the intention to set a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in ones purpose.

When he is not touring the world or playing these special events in Guatemala, he spends his time going into extended periods of retreat and silence, only to emerge with a deeper, truer and more refined sound. He also supports other emerging artists through his record label Resueño with an intention to bring resonant souls together to create music that uplifts and inspires. The label transcends any particular cultural aesthetic and explores a universal vibration through weaving sounds and languages from around the world. It is also a vehicle for social causes as 50% of all label profits are donated to causes around the world to help those most in need.

Roaman
Workshop – Foundations of Conscious Songwriting
The workshop is called *”Foundations of Conscious Songwriting”* where I teach the basics and offer a more holistic approach to the more technical aspects of song writing (structure, rhymes, rhythm, flow etc…), I share methods for greater and clearer introspection and self-inquiry necessary to know what we actually want to say and why, and eventually guide people step by step through the process that leads from finding inspiration and cultivating a simple idea to the creation of authentic, relatable and beautiful music. The workshop is open to all levels.

In November 2014. she compiled VA Forest Garden, including her favorite artists, most of them also involved in gardening and natural way of living. The compilation symbolizes life cycle, transformation of mankind and the Earth. It is a call for a waking up and going back to the roots values and sustainable way of living. Compilation “Spiral Roots” is bringing us on a path of organic bridge created between the roots of the Earth and our existence. “Tribal Steps” compilations were inspired by ecstatic dance and tribes gathering with a variety of sounds and tempos, inviting for more gatherings like in ancient times. Last compilation “Horns of Veles” is a fusion of Croatian traditional music with modern psychedelic chill music.
Indra’s sound is a fusion of floating mystical atmospheres and deep dub bass lines with ethnic & organic elements, including conscious bass, psydub, tribal, shamanic, global bass and other downtempo to midtempo styles with a taste of psychedelic. Her original sets are known by feminine subtlety and her art of telling a story through music.
As in real life, she draws her inspiration from nature, spirituality and traditions of ancient cultures. She often includes live instruments (trumpet, flute, didgeridoo, bansouri, douduk, guitar, melodica, synth, percussions…), so you can expect live music, dancing, warm communication with the audience and pure positive vibes in her sets.

Women's Singing Circle
Join us for a transformative experience as we raise our voices in song at our women’s singing circle. We’ll create a safe and sacred space for you to explore your voice, connect with others, and experience the power of group singing. You’ll leave feeling uplifted, energized, and connected to your voice and your community.

Indra
Ecstatic Dance
The practice is inspired by the traditional dances of indigenous cultures, which often involved trance-like states and spiritual connections to the natural world. As the music builds and shifts, participants are invited to explore a full range of movement and emotion, from wild abandon to quiet stillness. There are no judgments, no right or wrong ways to move, and no expectations about how anyone should dance. The practice is meant to be freeing and empowering, allowing participants to connect with their bodies, their emotions, and their community.

Many people find that ecstatic dance is a transformative experience that helps them release stress, anxiety, and pent-up emotions. It can be a powerful tool for personal growth and healing, allowing participants to connect with themselves and others in a safe and supportive environment. For those who love to dance, ecstatic dance can be a joyful and uplifting way to express themselves, connect with others, and experience the beauty of movement and music.
