“Summer is a celebration of the earth incredible bounty! Summer is a festival of this inner fire/power, the power that makes abundance and nourishment grow from tiny seeds. The power that brings things to fulfillment, and expands and brightens our lives, that makes good things come from seed ideas and plans. Summer teaches us patience. As we watch the ripening and flowering and fruiting all around us, we can’t help but be moved by and grateful for the generosity of the Earth Mother, who gives says what we need so unstintingly. Summer is a perfect time to discover our earth connection; by receiving her gifts with respect, taking only what we need, and doing what we can to minimize our impact on the delicate balance of the planet, we strengthen and nourish the bond we were given a birth with the great parent who sustains us all Our ancestors built huge bonfires on this day to celebrate their tangible connection to the vital power of the immense burning star that keeps our planet bright, warm and alive. It’s a good time to remember that we, like the sun, contain the power to nurture and sustain, and that we have a responsibility to burn as brightly as we can..“ - Cait Johnson & Maura D. Shaw

Doors 8pm - DJ SET and HIGH VIBEZ
9pm - MAESYN

Maesyn is a singer-songwriter / violinist / music producer. She was classically trained on Violin and piano since the age of 4. She also plays guitar and whistles perpetually.

Her sultry voice and emotive violin weave together into her unique style that blends pop, hip hop, jazz, soul, and sizzles of French cabaret.

Maesyn writes uplifting, positive music about modern life, sacred sexuality, philosophy, mysticism, and the Muse. A poetry major in college, she weaves words as vibrational codes to share the spiritual principles she wishes to entrain into her bones, while expressing insights on the human experience.

Maesyn merges passionate musicality with hip hop influenced beats, classical music, and pop sensibilities.... building a canvas upon which to paint spoken word poems, violin solos, and catchy melodies.

Her fascination is the activation of inspiration, and the stimulation of the inherent lovership between humanity and the Muses that animate us.
