Welcome back! This week we're joined by Meeshy, a local DJ within the ecstatic dance realm. She informs us on the travels and localities that inspire her music, from the Chicago house scene to Guatemala. We also talk the principles of ecstatic dance, what divine feminine energy looks like, and questions every artist should ask themselves as they're creating. Daniel was feeling under the weather, so Forrest of Daydream Farmers stepped in to guest host this week.
