About this Event

This SATURDAY, Chocolate Groove aligns with the Aries Full Moon, encouraging us to be boldly living in our truth! September 30th is also National Truth & Reconciliation Day in Canada. Acknowledging colonization here in Canada & the many atrocities facing First Nations people in history & TODAY. We are grateful and humbled to have local First Nations grass dance Roianakens sharing a workshop to encourage learning and growing within this topic. We are excited to also be hosting FABULA from Costa Rica as our headliner for the event. He is a Costa Rican native inspired by the jungle soundscapes. Fábula is a musician, storyteller, DJ, and Producer who curates deep danceable down and mid-tempo journeys with a silky but punchy twist. His sound palette is carefully curated to bend the borders of genres and blend the tales of cultures. We are also excited to welcome back Rose & Temple Grove to activate our night with their powerful heart songs. Peter Arcari will be back offering the Cacao Ceremony & closing Soun journey. Cacaoboy & Matty Ryce will be taking you all on a magical journey to start and end the full moon ride!
