Ecstatic Dance Agreements:
Let the dance be your language, we keep the floor a space of movement rather than words.
Follow what feels true in your body, honor your own boundaries, and practice consent in every interaction.
We gather in a clear, substance-free field, no alcohol or drugs.
Please keep phones away so we can be fully present together.
Dance barefoot if you can, or wear soft-soled dance shoes if needed.
This is a community space open to all ages and expressions.
About Kompass:
Nolan Watt, also known as Kompass, is an ecstatic dance DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. His sets blend global bass, ethno/tribal house, and spicy world rhythms with a touch of juicy, twerkalicious vibes.
With a background in music production and live performance, Nolan brings a clear arc to every set—starting slow and spacious, gradually building into rhythm-driven movement, and landing with grounded, reflective sounds. He often opens with live
bansuri flute, creating a space for presence before guiding dancers into deeper, ecstatic inspiration.
His approach is straight forward and honest—using sound to move energy, tell stories, and create meaningful connection on the dance floor.
Come with an open heart and leave with a rejuvenated spirit <3

Sacred Decadence Cacao & Spell Food
Leela Maya started her journey as a raw vegan dessert chef in 2007 at Cafe Gratitude. It was working there that she discovered the power of intention, community, & how truly nourishing food felt like sensual kitchen witch craft for her soul. It was love at first bite.
She has also developed products for Urban Remedy and Good Earth Natural Foods in Marin.
Leela is delighted to be sharing her culinary creations as sacred service to the vitality, health, and well being of all. Order your next special event dessert or batch of cacao from Leela; birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and for private events.
In addition to her kitchen craft, Leela is a practicing Acolyte Priestess of Isis and ceremonialist, offering Full & New Moon Circles, and Cacao Ceremonies, using improv, astrology, tarot, and the power of play.
She believes that love, joy, connection, and play are key ingredients to a healthy happy life. Blessed Be and Bon Appétit!

About Aless Shanti:
Alessandra/Aless, is a dancer, yogini, tea amateur and cacao passionate!
She often starts her day with a cup of tea. From Puer to herbal infusions, she appreciates the medicine of plants. When she sits for her meditation or movement practice, a cup of tea guides her to focus and be present.
She enjoys serving tea, having conversations and creating a cosy space. During her travels all around the world she had the opportunity and interest to learn about medicinal plants and tea. She is continuously learning and humbled by the culture of tea in China and Japan.
Alessandra loves crafting herbal blends combining medicinal properties in tea, but above all, she is a passionate chocolate maker! Her recent creation, La Gourmande, delicious raw cacao truffles, pair divinely with tea. Both tea herbal blends and cacao truffles are available for purchase.
With her open heart, she will be serving tea every Wednesdays nights.
