WOWMOM started with a question: What’s the point?
The answer came simply. To create a place where every person walks in and says WOW.
Not because of spectacle, but because of how it feels. Awe. Wonder. Play. Connection.
Born in Mendocino, WOWMOM began as a vision for a space where art, music, movement, and community come together. A place where something shifts the moment you arrive. Where you’re not observing from the outside, but part of what’s happening.
This is not about defining the experience. It’s about being in it.
The intention is simple. To inspire, again and again. To open space for expression, curiosity, and presence. To create moments where people feel lighter, more connected, more alive.
WOWMOM is a living expression of creativity and joy. It brings together sound, movement, and art in a way that invites participation and leaves room for the unexpected.
Rooted in Mendocino, it exists to gather people and create something real together. A reminder to loosen up, to engage, and to enjoy the moment as it is.
At its core, WOWMOM is about cultivating joy, sparking creativity, and bringing more lightness into the world, starting here and naturally extending outward.

Misha Tsaran (DJ BeetRoots)
I’ve been creating spaces for connection through music, movement, and shared experience, guided by a simple intention — to bring people together in a way that feels real, open, and alive.
Born in Ukraine, my path with music began early and evolved through years in New York City immersed in live music and nightlife. That journey eventually led me to Mendocino, where I now focus on building more intentional spaces through DJing, teaching yoga, and organizing community gatherings.
When I met S.A., there was an immediate alignment in vision. WOWMOM is the expression of that connection — a space where art, music, and people come together to spark joy, movement, and genuine connection.
What drives me most is simple: seeing people smile, dance, and feel free.

I’ve been rooted on the Mendocino Coast since 1997, building a life centered around community, creativity, and connection. Over the years, I’ve produced a wide range of gatherings — from outdoor street events at Frankie's in Mendocino to the beloved Aquarius parties held each winter for more than 14 years. Along the way, my path has included teaching, working in restaurants, running a community garden, and serving on nonprofit boards, including Mendocino Dance Project and Noyo Food Forest.
WOWMOM is the living expression of all of this — a vision I’ve brought forward to create spaces where art, music, and people converge to spark awe, play, and genuine connection. I’m deeply committed to strengthening community through shared experience, guided by a simple intention: to create moments that lift the spirit and leave people saying “wow,” or “WOWMOM!”
