Dancers of the Bay Area,
This coming Tuesday, we are delighted to welcome for the first time to EBCD: Bonbon Spirit!
Bonbon Spirit (aka PJ Weinstein, formerly Baron von Spirit) is foremost a dancer at heart. Drawing on his own practice of ecstatic dance, 5Rhythms, Soul Motion, and contact improvisation for inspiration, he’s a DJ, music remixer, and Event Producer in service to community.
He’s known for his eclectic and wide-ranging musical taste, and even more so for bringing some of the latest cutting-edge Bass Music. He loves to mix electronic and organic beats, and depending upon the venue will play anything from angelic ambient to tribal crunk to uptempo electro. To each set he brings a rough palette of musical ideas—the final journey is created as a response to what he’s feeling in communion with the field of dancers—and always finds a way to integrate a few novel remixes of beloved classics.

Peter has DJ’d at 550+ ecstatic & conscious dances around the globe since 2010. He co-founded Ecstatic Dance Corvallis (OR), Ecstatic Dance Fairfax (CA), Amoeba Dance (OR), and has produced over two dozen Ecstatic Dance Immersion retreats at Breitenbush Hot Springs and Harbin Hot Springs.

Description:
East Bay Community Space is a beautiful and inclusive venue available for public and private events, co-working, and community building.
The Main Space is ideal for performances, meetings, workshops, film screenings, and celebrations such as birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, and wedding receptions.
The Telegraph Room works well for similar events in a more intimate setting.
The Meeting Room is an ideal space for meditation, yoga practice, bodywork/treatment sessions, and smaller group meetings.
The Co-Working Space provides an affordable alternative for artists, activists, writers, entrepreneurs, and telecommuters looking for a comfortable and inclusive work space.
We also have unstructured periods when the space is open to everyone, under the guidance of a volunteer host. We call this Open Time. During these times, the Main Space is available for dance, personal yoga practice, or hanging out. Please contact us if you’d like to host Open Time, or if you’d like to volunteer.
The space is fully permitted, accessible, and built to modern codes. We have a wheelchair lift serving our second floor spaces, ADA-compliant access and all-gender restrooms. We are a scent-free and chemical-free environment.
We have created the Community Space in cooperation with others who share our vision of community. We hope you’ll join us!
