DJ: Melter
Melter is a bass forward explorer of the sonic realms here to guide you on a journey through the dance dimensions. Playing frequent ecstatic dances in Golden Gate Park for Ecstaturday and around the bay area for years, he has also been seen playing internationally, bringing the west coast ecstatic vibes around the world. His music focuses on the dancer, helping to unlock solo and contact dance moves that are otherwise hard to access. Through a conversation with the dancefloor, he can be heard playing classical, ambient, funk, soul, trap, hip hop, house, deep house, all wrapped up with a layer of medicine music. He is not here to play music- he is here to help you play WITH the music. See you out on the dance floor.

Food: Sacred Decadence (Leela Maya)
Leela started her journey as a raw vegan dessert chef in 2007 during the early days of Cafe Gratitude where it first began in San Francisco and Marin County. It was working there that she discovered the power of intention, community, & how truly nourishing food felt like sensual kitchen witch craft for her soul. It was love at first bite. Since then she has been a chef and product developer for local healthy food companies like Urban Remedy and Good Earth.
She is wholeheartedly happy to serve the Bay Area Dance Community in nourishing connection from within.
When she is not playing with her food, Leela teaches Play based Authentic Relating & Connection Classes, Full & New Moon Circles for Womyn+, & Cacao Ceremony Soundbaths. She believes that love, joy, connection, and play are key ingredients to a healthy happy life. Blessed Be and Bon Appétit!
