Yemanjo is a project of producer, DJ, and singer/multi-instrumentalist Ben Harris. Born and raised in the rich cultural stew of California's Bay Area, Harris has called Lake Atitlan, Guatemala home since 2016. His original music is a polyrhythmic concoction of downtempo/ethnic house beats blended with traditional instruments and tribal chants from Latin America, Africa and the Middle East--influences drawn from Harris' near-constant world travels. He is well-known on the international conscious dance circuit in Europe, the US and in Central America, where he is part of the vanguard of a flowering dance scene in Lake Atitlan.

Wataya Roberson was born and raised in South Africa. She left to travel the world in 1994, and while living in London in 1995, Wataya experienced Iyengar Yoga. Less than a year later she moved to India for three months. Several years later Wataya lived and worked at the Omega Institute in Upstate New York, where her practice deepened. In 2000 While living in N.Y.C., Wataya met her Meditation teacher, Gurumayi and from there the path of Yoga opened up to her. Soon after in 2003, Wataya moved to San Francisco to study Anusara Yoga. She has over 1500 hours of study and has been teaching full time since 2005. Her background is in Anusara Yoga and Kashmir Shaivism philosophy. Wataya is also a Siddha Yoga Hatha Teacher. Her teachers are Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, Jim and Ruthie Berneatt, John Friend, Christopher Hareesh Wallis and Sienna Sherman.

About Nima Sepehr: I'm a musician in heart, engineer in mind, hippie in soul and space holder in training. My life journey took a big shift at my first meditation 🧘‍♂️. While working at THE Silicon Valley company (Intel). I never forget my meditation teacher's smile and her approach to just being. She seemed so light 😇 and happy. I was miserable. There I learned the impact of our thoughts, the constant chatter in our brain and the never ending cycle of needs & wants that run our desires. I never looked back. I wanted to unlock the mystery of suffering. I kept going and I will keep going forever to just master this beautiful art of Mindfulness. To be present (Prezenc 😉). And I have decided to make it my life purpose to also teach others 🙇‍♂️

Heather Cohen, MA has been clairaudient with psychic visions since she was a child. She comes from a long line of healers on both sides of her Ukrainian and Spanish/Moroccan family.

Heather integrates counseling techniques with intuitive and psychic channeling, using tarot cards or your astrological chart. She offers readings for individuals, couples, and for groups and events. She especially loves offering mini-readings at special events, weddings, and birthdays, etc.

Her work is highly transformational, particularly with issues that have been confused, stagnant or unattended for some time. Readings work as a channel to unwind, and transmute both conscious and unconscious emotional/psychic material. Heather specializes in life transitions, related to work, relationships, parenting, and spirituality. She has worked with many indigenous healers and her work is a fusion of counseling, somatic integration, and psychic channeling, using astrology or tarot. Her reading style is compassionate and direct with a lot of laughter. Clients say that readings are like 6 months of therapy!

Heather earned her MA in Family and Child Therapy in 2000 and practiced therapy for 10 years in various cultures and countries including Ecuador, Kenya, Israel, and a Navajo Nations reservation, before becoming an astrologer and tarot reader.
