Meet our Musical Guests
Max Mignot is returning to Wonder Blossom!
Born in Paris and raised in Montreal, Max Mignot, now based in Sayulita, MX, came onto the dance music scene in his early 20’s as an integral part of the emerging electro movement in St Maarten and St. Barts. His passion for music grew from a desire to bring people together. This also led him to establish the international music collective and label Public Secret. Max’s sound is an auditory map of the rhythms he’s encountered as a global citizen, with styles ranging from afro and latin, to euphoric vocal-driven dance anthems. By merging the elusive sounds of parts unknown, with familiar pulses of the dance floor, Max crafts experiences that are as tangible as they are audible.
SimbaSōl is an electronic music producer, performer, and recording artist from Montreal. Influenced by melodic house & techno, he uses hard-hitting baselines, groovy percussions & four-dimensional synths to create soulful musical adventures. SimbaSōl has dedicated his life to music and is sharing his passion for life, not only through playing and performing, but also through inspiring others to feel free and enjoy each moment. That is also the message he is conveying in his music - to trigger emotions, to release emotions, to connect, and to celebrate life.
Max Mignot and Simbasōl, two trailblazing music producers with individual legacies in the electronic and world music scenes, have joined forces to embark on an exhilarating new adventure: Les Enfants.
This collaborative duo promises to redefine the boundaries of electronic music. With Max’s intricate rhythms and Simbasōl’s flair for immersive melodies, their union is not just a meeting of minds but a fusion of souls. Together, they are set to captivate audiences with their unique blend of sounds, crafting sonic experiences that are both avant-garde and deeply resonant, innovative and organic; pulling from iconic styles and influences from near and far. This EPK introduces the world to their combined vision, a testament to their shared passion for music that transcends genres and borders.
Born and raised in the vibrant streets of Caracas, Venezuela, Alejandro AKA "Maha" was captivated by the power of sound from a young age. He immersed himself in the eclectic world of the music scene and the diverse rhythms and melodies of his homeland, connecting with the cultural heart of his Venezuelan people.
As his passion for music grew, he began playing at clubs and parties throughout his local scene, quickly making a name for himself. His sound continued to evolve when he relocated to Austin, Texas, where he learned new mixing techniques and expanded his musical repertoire.
Today, Maha is a renowned DJ, traveling to cities across the globe, with residencies in San Francisco, Miami, Austin, and Mexico, his next vision is touring in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
His performances are not just about entertainment, but also creating a space for people to connect with themselves and each other.
With every beat, Maha weaves a tapestry of sound, a symphony of healing that touches the hearts of his listeners. He embodies the spirit of love and unity, elevating the vibrations of humanity one beat at a time, making him a true ambassador of music.

Child Mosey’s original songs weave deep melodies into a future folk sound. Their rhythmic hymns and mystic poetry bring ancient stories to current times. Robin and Emma of Child Mosey strive to make music for the heart of the people. The duo hales from the mountains of northern California and their relationship to their home range as well as their ramblings of the west heavily inform their song writing. Their goal is to create an experience with the audience that reminds us what it is to be human in all of its joy, sorrow, and mystery. If all goes right there will be laughter, there will be tears, there will be dancing.
Saturday at 8:00pm we will be presenting the production of “Alice goes to Oz”. Have a fun Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, or just your favorite Forest Animal outfit? This is the time to flaunt it!
We pick up right where we left off last Wonder Blossom. After Alice and her black cat Dinah rekindled their friendship in Wonderland, they are eager to find the rabbit hole and get home. But a rare Wonderland tornado detours their journey to the magical world of Oz. Where will their adventure take them? Who will they meet along the way? What mischief will they get into as they make the long and colorful trek to Emerald City? This is a story about past and present lovers, wounded and healed hearts, learning and growing, sexy released inhibitions, and friendship. Will they find the rabbit hole and what will it take to create balance in this multiverse? We’ll just have to wait and see!
Check out our last productions below:
You down?
Obsessive about sex. Turn ons include: cream (if you know what I mean), the woods (if you know what I mean), and head scratches (if you know what I mean).
On a journey of personal growth, I’m done leaving a trail of broken hearts and I’m all about lifelong relationships that push me to experience and live life. I’ll try anything twice…and Toto gets to watch
I love me more than anything else in the Universe. Pop some bubbly and show me a good time. Willing to travel.
Ever since I got my brain, my thoughts are running wild. I have ideas of the ideal partner, someone who is thoughtful, patient, and who is willing to chop up some logs for me to sit and meditate on.
I might seem cold and a little stiff but working on loosening up. Let’s get our nuts (and bolts) off!
No one can tame this beast. I’m wild, courageous, and full of sexy adventure. Come explore my kinky side and I’ll give you a nice whoopin’! Catnip anyone?
What you see may not be what you get, but that’s the fun of role play. Let’s soar the skies and see all the wondrous things life has to offer.
I'm hopping to meet a partner who eats healthy veggies, they aren't afraid to go deep into the rabbit hole, and respect my time.
There's only space for one of us to be late for a date, and that's me!
I’m devoted to our new queen, Dorothy. But I’m open to new connections
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
Make my wings flap, If you know what I mean…
Mile high club anyone?
Respectful & Inclusive
Wonderland welcomes people of all gender identity or expressions, race, ethnicity, size, color, nationality, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, beliefs. We are excited to meet new people and connect with old friends. We believe in the circle of life and nurturing sentient beings at Wonderland and beyond.
Surprise & Delight
The Wonderland spirit is devoted to acts of giving and receiving. These acts are given freely and unconditionally. Surprises and Delights may be gifting items, experiences, or the act of holding space. What experience will you create or offer? Simply showing up and dropping in is enough, your presence in itself can be a Surprise and Delight.
Intentions
To create a safe container to foster connection, creativity, and play. What are your intentions? Why are you participating in Wonder Blossom? What is calling you and what do you hope to learn or receive? How will you be present with and mindful of others at the gathering? Who do you hope to connect with? Setting a clear intention will ground your experience and help you get the most out of the gathering.
Self Care & Ritual
Gatherings are sacred containers for connection and exploration. In this container there are rituals that help build and protect the container we create. Rituals may come in the form of opening and closing circle, meditative experiences, group activities, and so on… Explore, exercise, and rely on your inner resources to take the time needed to reset and ground yourself. And let's be real, sometimes we need a friend, sometimes we need batteries for our flashlight, sometimes we need a good hug. Be sure to take the time you need to eat, breathe, sleep, hydrate and drop in with intention. Wherever you are and however you feel is exactly where you’re supposed to be. We see you.
Embrace Nature
Wonderland is a place to be one with nature. Notice the energy that surrounds you. Listen, feel, watch, smell and taste the elements of the forest. We are surrounded by wildlife of all kinds, so be conscious of our forest friends. Do not leave food or tasty scents in your bags, tent, or vehicle - there are animals on the ground, in the trees, and flying through the sky.
It Takes A Village
Our gatherings are co-created. Our community values and thrives on creative cooperation and collaboration. There is no audience, even during the performance, you are participating. How will you participate during the gathering? You are invited to lend a helping hand or even take on a lead or supporting role during our gatherings. Tune in with your surroundings, pay attention to the little things and if you see something that doesn’t seem right, speak up or take action. Find a host or one of the dedicated land fairies - they are here to help.
Consent Is Sexy
The world needs more communication around consent. Ask for and receive a clear yes before engaging in any physical interactions with others. Please recognize that this extends to the digital world - ask before posting to social media when others are included and receive clear consent from everyone featured. This also applies to alcohol and substances. Wherever you find yourself please read the space and use your words to communicate with others who may be impacted by your behavior.
Be Healthy, Stay Safe
We are striving to create an inclusive environment while also prioritizing the health and safety of all our guests. Considerations include sensitivity to alcohol and substance us, receiving consent and respecting personal space, fire safety and burn regulations. In addition, if you are feeling sick or under the weather, please refrain from attending at your own discretion.
Leave No Trace
Respect the forest and the land that surrounds it. We strive to leave no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. Clean up after yourself and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than you found them. Please help pack out some of your own as much as possible. Cigarettes and other butts must be disposed of properly. No MOOP and remember, only you can prevent forest fires.
Be Whimsical
Be a kid again! Get dirty, run around, be silly and laugh! Play a game of hide and seek or freeze tag! Make an altar at the base of your favorite tree! Hang a hammock and snooze, host afternoon story time, or paint your face and dance! Most importantly, have fun!
