Luna was born in NJ on May 15, 2015. She was adopted as a kitten from a shelter and raised lovingly by an ER Nurse in Virginia.

They create sacred space for you to understand and accept your unique experiences and inner wounds while rewiring your subconscious and creating dynamic shifts in your conscious reality. They are a facilitator in self expression and self exploration, helping you feel safe, at ease, and powerful AF.

Darjeeling: 

Darjeeling has been studying tarot since 2011. She came to it in a rather roundabout fashion; her original interest was Jungian mandala creation and interpretation for self-analysis. The transition to tarot came naturally when she began looking for a tool that was more dynamic, responding to questions and operation on a more moment by moment basis. 

The more that Darjeeling worked with the tarot, the more she realized that this was an open-ended tool with the capability to help people not only reflect on how to move forward in life, but how to get to know themselves better as well. Teaching others about and through tarot is something that she enjoys a lot and has felt called to for a long time. Darjeeling is here the third Sunday of the month for the Tarot meetup, sometimes followed by one of her Tarot classes. Check the calendar for more information.

While growing up in a Pentacostal household, he chased alternate spirituality in the dark; reading books, searching the internet, and absorbing knowledge in whatever way he could.

Shunka:

Shunka is a multi-media artist residing in the Northern Virginia area where he enjoys exploring its woods searching for rocks to climb, ritual spaces to conjure up trickery, and conversing with the local flora and fauna.  You may find him in the canopy in search of a view or in the dirt pursuing insects and reptiles.  A creature of extremes, he also thrives while whizzing through NoVA's impossible traffic on his sleek yellow bike, Princezz Dye.

Shunka first fell in love with drumming while bumming around the charming town of Panajachel in his native Guatemala, with its majestic lake and imposing volcanoes,  he jammed on street corners with fellow fearie folk for simple chips and kicks. 

He has taken lessons with the great Kristen Arant in the marvelous art of the Djembe and accompanying West African Percussion and dabbles within the realm of other musical instruments.  The banjo, American Indian Flute, and Yadaki (didgeridoo) to name a few.  He is part of the Nen Daiko Taiko Drum Troupe apprentice program which is teaching him great discipline and getting him into tip top shape as he is looking forward to playing with them for many years to come.

With practice and experience he came to realize that all these drums, each with it's particular voice and character, were not just exquisite musical instruments but that they were also transcendent tools, each inhabited by spirits that have existed since the dawn of time.  For thousands of years they have moved humanity to gather and connect, to create, to heal, to communicate, to dance...to Love and Transcend.  

A spiritual thread connects us all.  When we drum, we create vibrations.  When we drum together, those vibrations fill us with the vitality of the group along with the infinite message of whatever drum one beats, whatever rattle one shakes.  When we drum together we are one with our own heartbeat and that heartbeat is shared with the group through the pulse of the rhythm.  The Rhythm then swirls and churns, then bursts out in spirals and fractals in every direction to fill whatever spirit it touches with the joy and love consecrated within the circle.

Check our calendar for his drum workshops
