About last Saturday… what a night.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped create such a potent, beautiful experience. The trio of Arielle, Omar, and Chris came together in a way that made the evening truly unforgettable.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without all of you and the many helping hands behind the scenes:
From our warm and welcoming door greeters, Flo and Mario, to the cozy cuddle puddle vibes and altar by Metta. Powerful sound by David. Atmospheric visuals by Christian. Delicious elixirs by Moon•Ma. Live painting by Daniel. Reiki sessions by Austin. And a heartfelt thank you to everyone who jumped in to help with setup and breakdown.
Get ready for our next dance on May 9th with DJ aGa and Yuj.

About Chris Dingman
An acclaimed musician of many genres, Chris Dingman has been performing on the vibraphone for 25+ years, including with celebrated masters Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and many others. He brings together this background with a host of studies and influences from around the world, in service of taking listeners on a journey to a transcendent place.
Working in the fields of jazz, experimental, and world music for decades, Chris’s trajectory changed when, in 2018, his father entered hospice. Chris played and recorded meditative music as an act of care for him in his final months of life. This music became the 5-hour extended album Peace.
Since then, Chris has brought his special brand of healing music journeys far and wide, from live sessions at Omega Institute and The Rubin Museum of Art to his regular online series Transformations and Transformations for Grief, his work with the Psychedelic Sangha, music for mediumship, and much more. His critically acclaimed albums Journeys vol. 1 and vol. 2, are described by The New York Times as “hypnotizing,” and by Jazz at Lincoln Center as “absolutely beautiful.”
Chris has presented talks and performances at the Gold Foundation Conference on Humanism in Medicine, the American College of Physicians, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NYC), and written for the Johns Hopkins Medicine blog. He has been profiled by NPR, the New York Times, AMNY, and many other publications, and has received fellowships and grants from Chamber Music America, New Music USA, South Arts, and the Thelonious Monk Institute.
