𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐓É𝐀 // 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 Sontéa weaves a rich tapestry of Afro, Deep, and Organic House, infused with flavors of Amapiano, Dancehall, and Afrobeat - Blending live flute, vocals, and percussion with deep, rhythmic grooves, Sontéa bridges ancient rhythms and modern beats, creating an experience that moves both body and spirit. The duo - Arula & Nickie Sol - craft journeys that balance primal energy with soulful expression, inviting dancers into a shared language of sound, movement, and presence. Drawing from their individual influences - Arula’s roots in soulful songwriting and world-fusion performance and Nickie Sol’s background in poetic expression and Afro-driven DJ sets - Sontéa channels a sound that is both deeply intentional and vibrantly alive. Each set unfolds as a sonic pilgrimage of connection and self-discovery -music to awaken, unite, and empower the soul. 𝐉Ä𝐌𝐈 𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐀 // 𝐑𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 JÄMI is the new steward of Ecstatic Dance SF and the Founder of MOVEMENT Church - a Vibrational Architect who lives in Hawaii, designing potent life-changing experiences for thousands worldwide in live workshops, breathwork empowerments and ecstatic dances since 2010. Studying and practicing with the Sufi's for over 20 years, Jämi is a visionary producer with an ear for the exotic. A true musicologist, Jämi elegantly plays live percussion which uniquely activates the shamanic potential of the dance floor. His beats are a ceremonial carnival of epic proportion. His artistry is truly unique - he is gifted and clearly called to hold some very new and transformational frequencies. 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐑 // 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 International dance artist, instructor, performer, and transformational movement guide. Her journey has taken her across more than ten countries—from the studios of Broadway Dance Center in New York to the somatic richness of Faculdade Angel Vianna in Rio de Janeiro. Rooted in contemporary dance and Brazilian social dances, her path weaves through somatic education, contact improvisation, bodywork, yoga, gyrokinesis, and transpersonal psychology. Brigitte's passion is in integrating these worlds—guiding people into deeper connection with themselves through embodied movement and creative expression. As part of her ongoing research, she developed Liquid Leading—a practice that transcends traditional gender roles and invites each dancer to speak their truth through movement. It transforms dance into a co-creative language where stories can be exchanged, not just performed. "To me, dance is more than art or fitness—it’s a gateway. A tool for awareness, expression, healing, and transformation. I hold space for play, experimentation, and deep listening—so you can return to your body, your power, and the ever-evolving dance of your life." Let’s move together—and discover what’s possible when you remember the wisdom already living within you!✨ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: ⌯ Events start promptly, Join us for the full experience! ⌯ All events are alcohol and substance free ⌯ Bring your own water ⌯ Shoes off at the door, and no conversation on the dance floor once we begin ⌯ Come with an open heart – ready to listen, move & receive ⌯ Children Welcome 𝑨 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 *** As we come together in sacred movement practice, let us remember to embody the values of consent and mindfulness.
