DJ Drez is in demand as a producer, musical director and sound ambassador. A master of his craft in the studio and on stage, Drez cuts and composes profoundly original tracks that facilitate body movement practice of all forms— be it dance, yoga asana or after-hours intimate/ecstatic. 

Drez transforms the vibe of any scene his sound is set upon. Rooted in underground L.A. hiphop, Dr. EZ applies precise turn-table skills to a cutting edge vision for truly universal music, intelligently integrating elements of hiphop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae into his trademark sound and production.

Drez’s peacefully determined demeanor makes him a highly sought-after contributor to a variety of dynamic projects. In the midst of a non-stop, world-wide tour schedule, Drez has prepared another solo effort (Alpine Swift, available June 7 via Nectar Drop Music) while simultaneously producing a Sānskrit mantra record with his wife, vocalist Marti Nikko, and a straight-up hiphop album with longtime collaborator, Zaire Black, both expected to be ready for release in 2016.

Drez has too deep a resume to mention in its entirety here, suffice it to say he has worked with a who’s who of top artists (Blackstar, KRS 1, Black Eyed Peas, Macy Gray, Eminem, Project Blowed) and organizations (Adidas, X Games, ABC, Okay Player) while maintaining an extensive worldwide touring schedule, variously involving artists like Moby, Ziggy Marley, Common, Femi Kuti, De La Soul, Capleton, Nas, Lee Scratch Perry.

 Manoj (people call him a spiritual standup comedian) uses an uniquely entertaining, interactive story telling style using Hindu/Buddhist deities in his workshops to illuminate Bhakti practices as well as deep non dual philosophy. He uses these deity archetypes to help people in their hero’s journey as elucidated by Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung. An Indian-born scientist with a PhD in Chemical engineering from Cornell University, Manoj helps individuals find their archetypes in Hindu/Buddhist Yogic deities and teaches the 5 practices to work with their archetype as a spiritual practice. He has also compiled a book on the symbolisms of these deity archetypes.

Manoj is in the business of story telling to inspire people. He has many you tube videos with deity statues as a compelling media to tell stories. Manoj was interviewed by the Ram Dass foundation for their podcast on "The Deities".  Manoj, Jyothi and Kurt have created an “online ashram” under Patreon. Under Murtis and Vedanta Youtube Chanel.

   Shanti Salish Kirtan is a beautiful practice that combines music, chanting, and community.  Kirtan is the centuries-old practice of call and response singing of the names of the Divine. Accessible to participants of all religions or no religion at all, kirtan is easy to learn and participate in.  The name “Salish” refers to one of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest and also the inland sea comprising the Strait of Georgia, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Puget Sound in British Columbia and the state of Washington. It’s a beautiful blend of music, spirituality, and community in a stunning natural setting.

The Shanti Salish Kirtan Band has been evolving for 10 years and currently consists of up to 8 members from various spiritual traditions playing harmonium, guitar, bass guitar, mrudunga, percussion and, of course, voice.  They focus mainly on Sanskrit based call and response chants with the occasional english and Sikh chant.  Shanti Salish offers Kirtan twice per month in Port Townsend, WA.

 "Each song is akin to a day in one's life, akin to a small tribute to a distinct plant, perhaps a unique mushroom, or a slice of life experience, all woven through trials and tribulations," says Torin Frost. Based in Washington State, near Seattle, they graced many stages during the 2023 festival season, including The Oregon Country Fair, Departure Festival NW, and The Okanogan Family Barter Faire. Carrying that momentum, they embarked on a series of regional shows throughout the fall. At the Sea Monster Lounge in Seattle, they delivered an unforgettable four-hour set. These regional performances reached a crescendo with the Sonic Renewal New Year's bash in Portland, Oregon. The band's lineup features rapper/MC Torin Frost and Lauren Santi. Their eclectic mix of Funk, Latin, Reggae, Gospel, and Hip Hop seamlessly melds to create a sound that captivates a broad audience of audio adventurers. This, combined with a thoughtful approach to Hip Hop and a fervent passion for freestyling, results in a dynamic performer whose presence is uniquely felt at each show. Torin is dedicated to various noble causes and feels a deep calling to spread a healing frequency across the globe.

 Life changing, a thought leader, mystical, shamanistic, radical and hilariously funny, Eoin Finn is a globally renowned yogi, surfer and Blissologist who has been carving his original tracks through the metaphysical worlds of yoga, philosophy and movement since 1989.

The Canadian native is a globally renowned yogi, surfer and Blissologist who has been carving his original tracks through the metaphysical worlds of yoga, philosophy and movement since 1989.

Lauded by Yoga Journal as the “Thoreau of Yoga” for his eco-activism and dedication to connecting yogis more deeply to the spirituality of nature; and by Oprah as “one to watch,” Finn’s Blissology Yoga style centers on the simple idea of sharing happiness.

Eoin has studied Anatomy + Physiology at Harvard Medical School and Exercise Physiology at the University of California, Berkeley. While rooted deeply in yoga’s therapeutic and transformative alignment and physiology, his down-to-earth, modern spiritual insights refresh like cool water. He firmly believes that to find bliss, you must “seek quiet solitude in nature.”

A passionate ocean-activist, he started the Blissology EcoKarma project in 2014 raising aid and awareness through yoga and activism for the world’s precious but imperilled coral reefs

Through his journeys to the “motherland of yoga” ~ India, Govindas has been blessed to enjoy the “darshan” or be in the company of many yogic saints, sadhus, and wise teachers. It is from these transmissions that Govindas shares the authenticity of the Bhakti path.
