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.

Built by Community, Led by Us
Misha Tsaran, also known as BeetRoots, is one of the hearts behind WOWMOM, creating spaces where people come together to feel, move, and connect.
Born in Ukraine, his journey with music began early and naturally grew into a deeper calling, not just to play music, but to create moments where people can let go, be present, and experience joy together. After years in New York City immersed in the energy of live music and nightlife, he felt drawn toward something more intentional.
In Mendocino, that vision found its home. Through teaching yoga, DJing, and organizing local events, Misha began to build spaces centered on connection, movement, and shared experience.
When he met SA, it clicked right away. A shared desire to bring people together, to create something meaningful, and to build experiences that go beyond just events. WOWMOM grew from that connection.
For Misha, it has always been about creating a feeling, a moment where music, people, and energy come together in a way that stays with you. What drives him most is simple, seeing people smile, dance, and feel free.
