International DJ & Musician - MUTA

MUTA is an Argentine musician, producer, DJ and sound therapist. His music blends organic electronic sounds with handpan, native flutes and voice, creating immersive experiences that invite people to reconnect with their bodies, emotions and presence. The intention of this tour is to create spaces where music becomes a shared experience inviting people to move, feel, release and reconnect. Not simply to listen to music, but to let sound guide us into presence and connection.

Performer Bio - Camila Condor | Medicine Wombyn Cacao

Camila Cóndor (Camila Arboleda) is a ceremonial guide, holistic doula, devoted mother, and founder of Medicine Wombyn Cacao—a sacred offering from her ancestral homeland of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Steeped in Indigenous teachings, holistic health, midwifery, and yoga, she holds a Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbology and a 200-hour Anusara Yoga certification. Camila also guides children as a Waldorf-inspired Nature School teacher, helping them connect with the Earth, creativity, and natural rhythms. Through cacao, ceremony, and song, she weaves ancient wisdom into embodied practice—bridging spirit, science, and the heartbeat of the Earth. Each circle she holds invites a return to the heart, the body, and the living world around us.

Facilitator Bio - Hannah Sophia | Soma Sage

Hannah is a yoga instructor and doctoral trainee in clinical and health psychology, specializing in neuropsychology. Her teaching sits at the intersection of two worlds: the rigor of studying the brain and nervous system, and the felt, embodied wisdom of our own inner experience. As a somatic practitioner, she's especially drawn to how the body holds and processes experience and how movement, breath, and presence can be pathways toward regulation, insight, and healing. In her vinyasa/hatha style classes, Hannah helps students ground into the body and reconnect with their own inner guidance, blending contemplative practice with an evolving understanding of neuroscience and the nervous system. She also draws from earth-based and indigenous wisdom traditions, inviting students to root their practice not just in the self, but in relationship with the land and the more-than-human world. Through merging the threads of clinical insight, somatic attunement, and earth connection, Hannah creates space on the mat for compassionate, curious exploration: of the body, the mind, the community, and ecological wellbeing.

Performer Bio - Ilyusha Mann

Ilyusha Mann is an interdisciplinary artist who sees music as a way to discovering the inner workings of the universe as consciousness. Ilyusha’s organic style will invite you to breathe, feel, and listen deeply. In addition to his personal songwriting, he performs with musicians including Sylvia Snow and the Handpan360 Ensemble while continuing to collaborate locally on community music projects.
