Mandala Springs Ecstatic Dance with Mookite

✨ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐄𝐜𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐞 ✨ Join us for a magical summer evening of movement, connection, play, and deep restoration in the highly biodiverse Southern Appalachian Forest ecosystem. 🌿✨ Mookite is the multifaceted DJ project of Michael Fox - a massage therapist, husband and father of two star seeds. Named after a moody variety of jasper, Mookite expresses a wide diversity of musical selections, embodying earthly, organic elements as well as otherworldly soundscapes. With the main intention of music and moment as medicine, each set is a journey of energy in motion. After a decade of attending music festivals and concerts, Michael discovered ecstatic dance which ultimately pushed him to become a DJ. The community aspect and container of safety within e-dance culture helped the dream come alive.
