Our Guides & Collaborator
Caroline Gomes (Dance Opener)
A woman who trusted the wisdom of her body and followed the path of her heart.
Today, through my method Because I Dance, my intention is to inspire people on a path of freedom, a journey back to their essential expression. Leading to a more aligned life and to the body as an instrument for manifesting their deepest desires.

Lenore (DJ)
One of the unsung heroes of New England Drum & Bass is a woman named Lenore. Djing since the dawn of dnb in New England in the 90s, Lenore is known and widely respected for her seamless style of mixing and commanding presence behind the decks. It doesn't matter the style of dnb, she does it all. Co-founding Elements in 1999, she represents the legacy of drum & bass with style, grace and class. Her night has brought in local, regional, national and international talent to Boston, building the reputation of one of the most prestigious dnb events in the country and the world.
Dusty Digital (DJ)
Dusty has curated and contributed to several local staple events, including Grassfed Disco, Mirrorshades, and the Basement Movement Collective. He has been facilitating and performing conscious, house-driven Ecstatic Dance journeys since 2016 and is an active member of the Shamanism for the People collective.
His sets blend underground dance culture with intentional movement, guiding dancers through energetic arcs that are both playful and profound.

Pharaoh Essentials (Sound Healing)
LaWanda Monique is a Boston-based multidisciplinary healer, mother, and the founder of Pharaoh Essentials. She specializes in sound baths and mindfulness education, with a deep commitment to serving BIPOC and POC communities, while warmly welcoming all on their healing journey.
As a sound healer and wellness coach, LaWanda empowers individuals toward healing, success, and self-discovery. She believes in the power of vibrational medicine to address depression, disconnection, and misalignment—guiding others toward self-awareness, resilience, and self-love.
Her journey—marked by the profound loss of both her grandmother and mother, alongside the healing of childhood trauma—became a catalyst for transformation. She carries forward the spiritual lineage of the women who came before her, offering holistic support that nurtures mind, body, and spirit, helping others find balance, strength, and wholeness.

Scarlett Rose (Live painting)
Scarlett Rose is a New England Transplant from South Florida. With an influence of her latin roots & holistic plant medicine/yoga journey, shes cultivated her own style of art thats colorful, abstract & filled with movement. She compares her process to channeling. Transmuting the energy of the music, people & dancing into a phsysical piece of artwork. Simply being led by the strokes of her brush, every piece she does is intutive & in flow.
