About DJ Dino:

Dino DiBernardinis aka Dharmadrum. Born May 15,1970 in Buffalo, NY. At the age of 10 he was accepted to the Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts. Music has been a part of his life for 40 plus years. He joined the Army at 17 and served for 15 years. He saw combat in Desert Storm, Kosovo and Somalia. Searching for healing of trauma and PTSD he found that Mindfulness, meditation and music were extremely effective. Upon experiencing these amazing modalities he found that the blessing came with the responsibility to share this healing with others and dedicated his life to doing so. Being stationed in Washington, D.C. he was exposed to an incredibly diverse music scene and spent every weekend at 18th Street Lounge and soon began DJing Downtempo heavily influenced by the DC scene. After leaving the Army he rejoined his family in Tampa Bay and quickly fell in love with the House music being spun in clubs and after parties. Yoga introduced him to Ecstatic Dance and he found magic in dancing for the first time in his life. Now he continues his dedicated path of healing through djing Ecstatic Dance, Vibrational Sound fields, Global Organic Deep House and using the platform to expose the dancers to a message of unity through music. His motto is Community,  Compassion and Creativity. Everything he agrees to get involved in must focus on those 3 things.

About our Cacao:

Our Cacao is provided by Sara Ratza of Ratza Chocolate, located in the heart of Tarpom Springs.

"Traditionally, drinking chocolate was used as nourishment and medicine for the Indigenous Central and South American people. It was a part of their everyday life as part of their spiritual practice. Cacao is high in anti-oxidants, high in magnesium, as well as theobromine, the main component that creates the feel-good chemicals in our brain. The Mayans use cacao to help those dealing with depression, stress, or addictions as it helps boost serotonin and regulates dopamine in the brain. Cacao helps increase blood circulation, hence heart medicine, and combined with cayenne you are literally feeling your “heart opening”. The Mayan people today teach about their traditions with cacao in hopes that it will once again bring back the human connection with Mother Earth."
