Bloomurian, Colibria & More INSIDE the Cave of the Winds

Psst... And we might even add animated visual projection by a digital artist mapped onto the cavernous background as a part of this special edition 😮

Featuring Bloomurian, Colibria (a.k.a. Briana Di Mara), Luminary Gardens, Saoirse Watters, Dr. Yasha S. Wagner (a.k.a. Emcee Yash Akasha), the InterWorld EcoVillage team, and More TBA...

"InterWorld Institute put on an EPIC event at the Cave of the Winds last year, and we had such a great time, we're doing it again!

This time, the theme is: Celestial Strings in Subterranean Springs, emphasizing the majestic live sounds of violin and harp.

🎻 Colibria (Briana Di Mara) is coming in from out of town to DJ a dance set with live violin. She has performed with Dirtwire at many epic venues including Red Rocks, and on the main stage at Unison with Yaima and Bloomurian. We're lucky to get this opportunity to see her at the Cave of the Winds!"

For the second time ever, the world-famous sacred site called the CAVE OF THE WINDS is joining forces with our nonprofit to deliver a legendary offering on Saturday night, November 21st, 2026 ... at 7:30 - 11:11 PM - limited to 45 participants and very likely to sell out fast.

About the Season & the Schedule for this Special Celebration:

Join us for this rare historic moment, honoring the Autumn season, inside a large cavern in the sacred underground tunnel system under the mountains of Manitou Springs in the Tava-Kaavi region (sun mountain / pikes peak)
...we will have a mindful movement and intentional 'beyond ecstatic' dance experience, including opening ceremony & somatic warm up with Yasha, followed by a full-length multi-genre collaborative concert featuring Bloomurian, Colibria (a.k.a. Briana Di Mara), Luminary Gardens, Saoirse Watters, and More...

About the Subterranean Setting & Celestial Soul of the Celebration:

The cave of the winds is named after the spirit of father wind - as you can hear the whistling of the sacred wind element inside some of the living mysterious natural formations of earthen stalactites and stalagmites in the underground caves and cavernous tunnel systems that stretch deep into the mountain in this powerful energetic vortex of the planet.
Due to the special nature of the venue, space is genuinely limited, and all participants are asked to refrain from touching the walls of the caves, which are a protected site. Please bundle up to stay warm.

Live DJ Set + Subterranean Sound System

Luminary Gardens is an alchemical wellspring of global soundscapes, blending ancient rhythms with psychedelic bass to root the spirit and elevate the mind.

Luminary Gardens (Addison Lewis) is a Colorado-based DJ and Producer crafting a unique global fusion of Psydub, Psybass, and beyond. Emerging in Spring 2023, the project was born from the Ecstatic Dance community but has evolved into a full-spectrum sonic journey. Luminary Gardens manipulates soundwaves with detailed textures and tribal instruments, creating an immersive experience that moves from the grounding roots of Dub to the ethereal heights of Psybient. The Luminary Gardens Experience is a somatic journey through Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether.

A lover of music since childhood, Addison launched this sonic vision to share healing and connection through sound. The Luminary Gardens experience is an alchemical process. By weaving together ancient rhythms and psychedelic melodies, the music invites listeners on an esoteric mystical journey. The result is a universally resonant sound that transcends time. Luminary Gardens creates a dynamic and living atmosphere, delivering a set that feels essential, vibrant, and incredibly powerful in any setting. Addison approaches every set as a curator of energy, purifying spirits and connecting dancers to the cosmos through the universal language of Dub and Bass.

Cosmic Violin Music & Live DJ Dance Set

Colibria is the new project of shapeshifting violinist Briana Di Mara, blending melodic and world bass, dubstep, and live instrumentation into an immersive, genre-bending dance experience.

As an experienced and versatile performer, Briana has collaborated with artists including Dirtwire, Yaima, Kr3ture, Bloomurian, Akriza, and Beats Antique. Known for her expressive improvisation and eclectic musical voice, she continues to push boundaries while creating meaningful experiences for diverse audiences everywhere.

Beyond Ecstatic Dance with a Rising Star

Bloomurian is the electronic music & DJ project of Robin Liepman (Bloom), originally from California, and currently Colorado based. Bloomurian’s style ranges from Folktronica & World Bass to Psychedelic Bass, Organic House, DnB, and beyond, fusing face-melting, heart-opening, soul-awakening multidimensional frequencies.

Bloomurian DJs ecstatic dances, concerts, festivals, and retreats worldwide, weaving original tracks, collaborations, remixes, and tasteful selections, into a rich tapestry of sonic alchemy, always tuning in to the ideal vibe for each particular event and audience. He often plays electric guitar, melodica, flute and his shovel slide-guitar during his sets, and has live instrumentalists and vocalists join him on stage.

Bloomurian reads the energy of the moment and steers the spaceship in the direction most conducive to ecstatic states of awakening and embodied movement medicine. The vibe can get down dark and dirty, light vibrant and uplifting, psychedelic, transformational, and worldly, depending on the frequency of the moment.
