Shanti’s passion is to be on open channel for catalyzing awareness into its next expression. As a sacred spaceholder Shanti specializes in practices that move energies through the body and the voice to create a deep connection to self and source. Shanti loves to keep her bunny ear to the ground to feel the pulse of consciousness as it evolves and shape-shifts through spiritual community. You can find Shanti listening to the whisper of the divine as it unfolds into each moment. Currently Shanti shares and records kirtan and mantra music with her sacred music ensemble Ananda Lila Kirtan. www.facebook.com/anandalilalove ॐ ERIC MAJESKI (Singer / Songwriter) 9:15pm Eric brings a deep passion and fire to all of his performances. His music builds bridges from the world of separation to the one of unity and love we all share. The music and lyrics are both an activation, and a remembering of the journey of self-discovery, why we are here, and what is our highest calling. Recently he just released a full-length cd entitled 'Recovery'. (www.ericmajeski.com) ॐ DJ GALACTATRON (Ecstatic Dance) 10:30pm Galactatron crash landed on Earth on June 12, 2016, while curve warping from round the inside side of the Andromeda galaxy. He is an intergalactic, trans dimensional travler and is stranded here until he can fix the flizem drive of his ship, Chunky'Womp. Kalxian infinity flares, sent from Andromeda, is the only power source that can recharge the flizem drive. To atract the flares, Galactatron needs to send out a homing signal in the form of morphing melodo/rhythmic sound waves, or music as it is known here on Earth. It just so happens that this musical signal is boosted in most expanded proportion when there are kinetic bodies shaking, rolling, jumping, swaying, and flying in coresonance with it. Galactatron is incredibly greatful and excited to partner up with Chi Ka Go, to present an Ecstatic Dance Musical Journey. This Journey will guide you through a veriety of moods to inspire all sorts of free form movment, for the strongest signal activation ever. If we are to succeed in raising the vibration and attracting the Kalxian infinity flares, we will be transported by Chunky'Womp into inner and outser space, through the stars, to the center of the Milkyway, and back.

Simply being present and focused on the other person can bring waves of relaxation and release. The physical body has the capacity to hold an incredible amount of tension, even unconsciously. One thing this ancient massage offers is an increased awareness of energy lines that have been mapped out throughout the body with the use of hands and feet. Passive stretching, and breath work are two more ways to access this energetic body work that can feel like a very deep massage. Thai massage is a mutually beneficial, shared dance. Join Merry Mary as she guides you through the sacred science of Thai Yoga Massage and enjoy connecting with another friend-along-the-path using healing touch. (www.MerryWaters.net) ॐ JASON CUNNINGHAM (Psychic Readings) Jason Cunningham is an intuitive and energy healer working in the sphere of philosophy and beliefs – the ninth house of astrology. He calls on his own guides and the guides of his clients to clarify intentions related to the philosophical issues underlying relationships between individuals and society as a whole. This information often relates to a person’s higher purpose in life. He also has attunements in Reiki, All-Love, and Reconnective healing. ॐ TARA LUTHER (Live Painting) Painting allows me to impose form upon the internal forces, which would otherwise control me. I am shaping, blending, contrasting, and reimagining my reality with each stroke of the brush. Just as in life outside the studio, my attachments, my narrative, and my perspective go through a series of catabolic and anabolic shifts. Each piece reflects this dynamic process. I often find myself letting go of some painterly element that I’ve spent hours, days, or weeks perfecting, simple because some place within me requires it as an offering for what will come next. (www.taraluther.com) ॐ PAULA LOOMIS (Live Painting) When I began painting I worked in abstract and this continues to greatly influence my work. I find that shape and stroke can convey a feeling just as much as imagery, but in a way that allows the viewer to project some of their own emotion onto the piece, rather than just reading that of the artists. I hope that my pieces, with light and shadow, color and texture, help you see my world and create a new perspective on your own. Let's create something beautiful together. (https://facebook.com/PaulaLoomisArt) ॐ ELIZABETH OEHMEN (Fire Cupping) By creating suction with fire and glass, massage Cupping™ is used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, move deep inflammation to the skin surface for release, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.

I will be available for both energy healing and sketches. All of my services are done with pure love and a passionate intention to guide you closer to your inner light. My personal prayer is to aid those that find me into further awareness of the sacred, mysterious, and magical world within and all around them. It would be my honor to connect and share what I perceive around you with my mystical senses. The sparkling light within me honors the sparkling light within you!

His readings in Angelish examine the words (spellings) through which we shape our fates, while at the same time linking us back to the Mother-Center which allows old forms and spells (sometimes called karma) to be dissolved and replaced with fresh energy and new creations.
