RISE · VIBE · GROOVE
Deviné
5:30pm – 6:30pm
A movement meditation built on five pillars, under the desert sky. We begin on the ground and wake what the body already knows — breath, fingertips, spine, hips — then invite it somewhere it hasn’t been. We rise with intention. We vibe with the people beside us, because moving together does something moving alone can’t. Then we groove: the beat comes up, no counts, no choreography, and each body follows the score it just discovered is its own. Bare feet welcome. Nobody’s watching. The body remembers what the mind sets down.
Deviné (She/Her) has spent thirty years inside movement — Silvestre Technique, Gyrokinesis, and Afro-Brazilian elemental lineage, carrying forward everyone who taught her. Her work is curatorial, not choreographic: she opens the door, everybody walks through.

To Gong with Love
Pierette Baker
9:30am – 10:30am
It’s time again to meet in the desert and leave your lives at the gate, for once inside, the magic begins. Camps go up, familiar faces bring memories to mind, music plays into your heart and your feet can do nothing less than move to the groove that wafts across the deserts sands. It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the sound event, “To Gong With Love” to reset, regroup, and revitalize your senses, instill love into your heart and set you free within our little oasis.
It was long ago in a yoga class that I began my journey in sound. My teacher helped me acquire my first 3 singing bowls and the addiction was born. I went on to study with Deep Deoja in Encinitas Ca. Gongs became my next focus. I joined training with Sotantar Suraj. We played at the Integratron many times in all night pujas, among other places during my training. From there I went on to Memphis and studied with Grand Gong Master, Don Conreaux and later joined him for training in Europe. It was the Gong Caravan of Peace that 32 fun loving sound students took for the first time through Bosnia, Croatia, and Slovenia that cemented me into sound to this day. I have been blessed to play all over Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco and along the northern coast of California to name a few places. I am grateful to live here in the desert and enjoy sharing the songs of the Gongs, bowls and good vibrations and hope to do it until the end.
