Soul Seed is a genre-blending DJ and producer whose music is rooted in the healing power of sound. With a background in dance and a lifelong connection to festival culture, her sets are carefully curated journeys that invite deep embodiment, soul-level connection, and ecstatic movement. Based in Grass Valley, CA, she channels influences from across the globe—blending drippy, sexy bass, downtempo, RnB, conscious hip hop, electronic, world fusion, afrobeats, jungle, breaks, and even touches of folk. The result is an alchemical sound pulsing with juicy basslines, goddess whomps, and sacred rhythms of the Earth.
Mission
Soul Seed creates more than just a dancefloor—she cultivates a communal container for transformation, celebration, and authentic connection. Her mission is to elevate the collective through sound, reminding us that music is medicine—a tool for joy, healing, and awakening purpose.

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.
