  • Aimee Candela

    I am a visual artist and empath who is now dedicating time to the Tarot and my spiritual practice.

     I have over fifteen years of experience studying and reading the Tarot.
    In that time, I have explored different facets of spiritual practices and beliefs from Eastern Philosophy (Hindu, Buddhist, Taoism), Astrology, Esotericism, Jungian Theory, Occult
    systems, and Witchcraft. These influences have shaped my perspective on how I view the inner and outer realms.

     I’m open to various kinds of readings from dream interpretations, personal path work, and inner spiritual guidance readings.

     “I’m currently exploring the esoterics of the tarot.
    For me, this is a new path of revelation but in the deeper realm of unraveling the secrets and mysteries of what is yet to be discovered within the tarot.”

  • Aprylle Dawn


    Since her first album Diamond in the Rough (2009) catapulted her onto the SF Bay Area music scene, Aprylle’s voice, energy and lyrics have captivated audiences across California and around the world. Facing the world solo and all original, Aprylle has made a name for herself captivating audiences large and small and doing it on her own terms. Part of Aprylle’s on-stage charm lies in her autobiographical stories and relatable themes of love, longing, and learning to be true to yourself that enchant and inspire everyone who hears them. Engaging her audience with nothing more than her voice and an acoustic guitar (and recently her ukulele), she has been likened to Michelle Branch and Sheryl Crow. She has become a regular at clubs and festivals in the Bay Area and has performed in prestigious venues such as the House of Blues, on Sunset Strip in Hollywood CA and on the historic Golden Gate Bandshell Stage in Golden Gate Park.

  • Ksenia Arapova

    I have been always drawn to the magic of cooking and creating in the kitchen. While staying at home with my three little kids I began experimenting in my own kitchen exploring foods that were both delicious and nourishing, wholesome for our bodies without compromising flavor and textures. I have always been an enthusiast of minimizing added sugars and generally using food as medicine and fuel. This led me to multiple online courses and even more experiments in my kitchen.

     Following some of my interests I came across learning about artisanal chocolate and went deeply into this theme perfecting my skills at sourcing beans, tempering, recipe formulation and at the same time learning to work with professional chocolate stone grinders. Artisanal chocolate naturally led me to its source – Cacao and ceremonial cacao paste.

     

    I was fascinated by the rich history and traditions of Cacao all entwined with a bit of mysticism and a strong spiritual ground. I began my practices to get acquainted to this Heart Opening medicine used by centuries to improve health, uplift, increase vitality, gather people for connection and last but not least offer an amazing tool for self exploration, mindfulness and reflection.

     Since then I mainly focused on handcrafting my own cacao blends, choosing the origins I enjoyed working with, and also guiding Cacao Gatherings to allow for  moments of pause, stillness, openness.

     I am on a mission to spread the word about cacao and give people more tools for balancing their body and mind, harmonizing from the inside out and creating a community. My company, Cacao Space, is offering handcrafted stone ground cacao paste made with one simple ingredient and in small batches. I also host Cacao Ceremonies that are always theme based and include gentle guided meditation and sharing circle.

  • Copperwoman

    “Open your heart, Let your voice come through, Just the way you do it, Nothing to compare to.” Copperwoman has been gifted in this lifetime to “catch” songs for us—for people who want to sing together to raise the collective vibration in a prayerful way, and for those who might be afraid to sing. She offers a safe space in which to find your voice and express that which lives within and wants to come out vocally. Her most passion-filled moments are when she finds herself surrounded by a group of people singing with her.

    Copperwoman was born to sing! She has been singing and making up melodic rhymes as long as she can remember. She brings people together to sing in gatherings called “CircleSong” throughout California, and has been an integral part of the ritual backbone at the Women’s Herbal Symposium in Laytonville. She is a keeper of Sacred Space and weaves a thread of harmony from beginning to end, whatever the occasion or gathering.

    She has several albums of original “singable” tunes including one called “Gratitude”—songs she wrote during her healing journey with cancer as well as 2 albums of children’s songs she wrote while being a pre-school teacher. She is mother of two grown offspring and Grandmother to her daughter’s two beautiful children.

    Having visited Peru several times, Copperwoman carries an energy of pachamama and a certain depth of ancient connected earth culture.
