ELEVATE: Lady Merkaba & STARLORD Bring Conscious Beats to Your Living Room

Sometimes the dance floor comes to you. And when it arrives courtesy of Lady Merkaba and STARLORD streaming live from Humankind in Sedona, you'd be wise to clear some furniture and answer the call.

The ELEVATE replay is now available, which means you can experience this sonic journey on your own time, in your own space, with as much or as little clothing as feels right. (We don't judge your home dance practice.)

Who Are Lady Merkaba & STARLORD?

These aren't your standard "press play and check your phone" DJs. Lady Merkaba and STARLORD craft sets that understand the dance floor as sacred space—where bodies need permission to unwind, to build, to release, and to soar.

Lady Merkaba brings an intuitive touch to the decks, weaving uplifting frequencies with grooves that invite your hips to lead the conversation. There's a feminine flow to the journey, a sense that the music knows where your body wants to go before your mind catches up.

STARLORD complements with powerful rhythms that have backbone and intention. This is music that holds space while simultaneously asking you to take up more of it. Together, they create a sonic landscape that feels both grounded and cosmic—very on-brand for Sedona, really.

What Does This Sound Do to Your Body?

Conscious beats aren't just a marketing term—they're a felt experience. This is music mixed with awareness of what happens when bass meets pelvis, when melody meets heart rate, when rhythm gives your nervous system permission to regulate through movement.

The ELEVATE experience builds like any good ecstatic dance journey should: there's space to arrive, to warm up, to find your feet. Then the energy lifts, the tempo builds, and suddenly you're not thinking about that email or your grocery list—you're just breath and motion and the occasional involuntary sound of release.

And because this is a replay, you control the container. Pause for water. Rewind that section that cracked something open. Dance the whole thing twice if your body's hungry for it.

Why Stream a Dance Experience at Home?

Look, we love a packed dance floor as much as anyone. There's magic in moving alongside other bodies, in that collective energy field that forms when everyone's dropped in together.

But there's also something potent about dancing alone in your space. No self-consciousness about whether you look weird. No navigating around anyone else's flailing limbs. Just you, the music, and whatever wants to move through you.

The ELEVATE replay brings Humankind's gorgeous Sedona venue and its community energy right into your living room. You get the quality of the sound system (turn it UP), the intentional curation, and the visual ambiance of that space—all without putting on pants or driving anywhere.

Plus, streaming connects you to a global community of movers. While you're flowing in your living room in pajamas, someone else is doing the same in their kitchen in Austin, their bedroom in Boulder, their backyard in Byron Bay. You're alone, but you're not alone.

So roll up your rug, light a candle if that's your thing, and let Lady Merkaba and STARLORD remind your body what it already knows: movement is medicine, rhythm is prayer, and your living room is as sacred as any dance floor when you bring presence to it.

Feel the rhythm. Find your flow. ELEVATE.
