CURRENT MISSION

Peace, love, fun - exploding like a soft bomb

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Dan. My party days are mostly behind me. Now I enjoy a life of great people, emotional growth, excellent food, meditation, divine sensuality, and body awareness. I smile a lot.

I spend a lot of time at Ecstatic Dance Oakland (Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings) where you move however you want, being totally expressive and funk-tastic in an environment with (1) no talking, (2) no shoes, (3) no substances. Come with?

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice. Smile. Love. Make everything better.
