DAM (Dragons, Aliens, and Mermaids) Circus

DAM (Dragons, Aliens, and Mermaids) Circus is a collective of circus adventurers, quest seekers, and story tellers creating breathtaking productions in The Bay Area and beyond. Our troupe is entirely made of women and nonbinary humans as well as a diverse mix of race, ethnicity, and body types. We are proud to have such a wide range of performers and give people from all walks of life a chance to shine.

As a collective, we aim to create beautiful spectacles that incorporate a variety of movement arts that help to encompass an overall theme. Our stories tend to lean in the direction of science fiction and/or fantasy supporting overarching ideas related to identity, community, and sex positivity.

Dual Demons

Devon and Cass are life partners that have bonded over their many shared interests and ethical values, as well as their deeply intimate bonds. They met on Feeld and, in classic queer fashion, instantly fell in love on the first coffee date. Their relationship has blossomed over the years and what started off as a way to connect on a shared level has developed into what you see here today. Together, the Demons have found the ways that they can share their passions and knowledge with the world and highlight their individual strengths as the Duo. They fundamentally believe in the dichotomy of kink through finding Queer joy and silliness while simultaneously curating an intimate, sadomasochistic experience.

A Table of Our Own

Our goal is to create a documentary about a gathering of Black luminaries working in the psychedelic space. We’ll gather 35 key members from all around the country in a safe place and give participants the chance to share their strengths, experiences, hopes, and challenges.

The goal is to highlight those doing great work and to expand the reach of these important ways of healing to more Black people. We also wish to de-stigmatize these substances so that they’re no longer seen as “White people stuff” and more as the natural balms and salves to Black people’s psyches that we’ve been using for millennia.

The documentary will cover the conference and the current state of Black people in the psychedelic space as a whole.

Watsonville Yoga hosts a healing arts clinic, where you can find licensed practitioners of Ayurveda, Massage, Sound Healing, Herbalism, Peruvian shamanism, and other modalities.

Josh Kornbluth

For over three decades, monologuist and filmmaker Josh Kornbluth has been telling stories to try making the world more loving and fair (and also to get people to laugh). In recent years he's been focusing on uplifting the rights and dignity of the elderly and of people with brain disease, as well as those who care for them. He was the first Artist-in-Residence at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco, as well as a Fellow at the Global Brain Health Institute, based at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center. His "Citizen Brain" video series (citizenbrain.org), which deals with the connections between brain health and social justice, has been viewed by over half a million people. Among his current projects is a solo show titled The Bottomless Bowl, based on his experiences at the Zen Hospice Project, where he later became a volunteer for several years.
