DJ: Sarita Sol
Sarita Sol believes music is the ultimate medicine and life giver.
She brings in her love for music with a wide spectrum of colorful soundscapes from Global tribal Bass and Hip Hop, to World House, Afro Beats, and some causal throwbacks for an all time good booty shaking vibe. Per usual, she always brings the heat wherever she goes with a big smile on her face. As an avid ecstatic dancer she understands the journey and connection to music, body and dance.

Growing up dancing with her Colombian family, she is a spicy Latina who weaves her heritage into her sets with fun, upbeat and sexy Latin inspired selections.

She currently resides on the Big Island of Hawaii and is thrilled to share and spread the Aloha magic through music and with community.

Food Service: 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!
To learn more about Leela’s offerings, to order a cake/food, or to schedule a one on one session, you can check out her website:

Upstairs Tea Lounge: Tea Lounge: Olivia Marichi (Tea Master Oli)
With over two decades of dedicated practice, Oli has cultivated a profound mastery of Chinese tea and the art of tea ceremony. Her journey began with an enduring fascination for the intricate flavors and traditions of tea, studying at the First Club of Chinese Tea Culture in Moscow in 2000. Immersed in the cultural and historical essence of tea, Oli has explored every facet—from sourcing the finest leaves in the lush tea gardens of Fujian to mastering the meditative precision of Gong Fu Cha. The tea collection is provided by the Kokko Wellness, the place where Classical Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Herbal Medicine, Tea, Nutrition, and Bodywork come together in one harmonious space.
