Jayesh is passionate about rhythm and music and enthusiastically dabbles in several instruments. The Darbuka and Djembe are his favorites. He is India's first Darbuka player in the Belly Dance community.

Originally from Mumbai, Jayesh now lives in Goa with over a hundred instruments for company. He founded and runs the Goa Drum Circle, a community of hundreds of drummers from all around the world. He conducts basic Djembe workshops every Tuesday on the beach. His unwavering dedication to his art and the ability to create captivating rhythms truly makes him a trailblazer in the world of Darbuka music in India.

Jayesh intends to drum up the passion of participants of this retreat to rhythm, movment, and expression of these in a seamless time of flow.

Marissa is a ceremonial guide, artist, playwright, dancer & embodiment coach. Her mission it to “inspire humanity back to ourselves” through movement and expression! She has been teaching freestyle movement since 2018 and Ritual Theater since 2021, claiming that she “cannot teach anyone to dance, because deep down we all know how to dance- some of us just have been told we can’t and have believed it.”

In that spirit, she is a facilitator of safe spaces to help people feel free and comfortable enough to express the true nature of who they are! This happens currently through dance and theater arts though she also teaches singing and visual art as well!

Ritual Theater is a ritualized approach to theater which focuses on us “becoming an open channel.” To do this, we are guided into the flow state through organic movement, vocal opening, meditation and theatrical games which we use to invite in any energy we would like more of in our lives- not acting, but becoming the characters, or energies, we are studying, such as Unconditional Love, Healing, and Abundance.
