Heather Christie is a multi-talented artist—a DJ, producer, vocalist, songwriter, mentor, music label founder, and mother—dedicated to ushering in a new wave of feminine musical creation. Her journey as a trailblazer in both motherhood and music has gone viral, earning features in multiple publications.

Joining her is Vir McCoy, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist known for his mastery of guitar, Irish tenor banjo, djeli ngoni (Mali), and the Turkish cümbüş. As the founder of the iconic worldbeat band Hamsa Lila, Vir has performed alongside legends like the Mickey Hart Band and Dirtwire.

Together, Heather and Vir are a powerhouse duo—songwriters, co-producers, and innovators—currently completing their second full-length album. Their music resonates across Ecstatic Dance floors, festival stages, and even in commercials, carried by the winds of inspiration.

Their live set is an immersive experience, blending hypnotic rhythms with organic instrumentation for a journey that shakes the dance floor and uplifts the spirit. Expect deep grooves, high vibes, and a connection to something greater.

Michelle Om will be will be offering delicious eats and refreshments and Rainbow Chakra Gemz body butters on Sundays at San Rafael ED in August!

Come join the amazing community in San Rafael we co-create every week! It is our dance church and sanctuary! A place to connect and re-connect with yourself and others. A place where all are welcome and all emotions are welcome. Like other Ecstatic Dances, we are talk-free, substance-free, shoe-free and FREE spirited!

Guidelines for our dance

• BE PRESENT (no phones or cameras)

• NO TALKING (no talking on the main dance floor – soft voice/whispering is ok in the back of the room)

• EMBODIMENT (be aware if your body movement is causing danger or if your voice/sounds are disruptive to those around you)

• SUBSTANCE FREE (no intoxicants of any kind)

• CONSENSUAL (make eye contact and confirm a “YES” before engaging with others, respect others space - crossed arms, looking or moving away means “NO”)

• GROUNDING (no outside shoes)

• RESPECT (respect your own & other’s space, expression, and autonomy)

We have a dance 'fairy' available for anyone who needs to talk about anything (challenging or troubling) that happens/ed to them at the dance. Kerin Meri is our first dance fairie. If you don't know who she is, ask the host or others at the dance to point her out.

As your host (Dan Z aka DJ DZ), NEVER hesitate to bring anything to my attention that you feel needs to be addressed.

DJ DZ brings the dance to the people and the people to the dance! Cause we can never have too much movement and liberation in our lives!
