Bhina Bodydarman

With over 11 years of dedicated experience in the dynamic realms of urban dance, contemporary floorwork, and Qi Gong, China has cultivated a rich tapestry of movement deeply rooted in my Indonesian heritage and meditative practices. His journey in dance is not just about movement but a profound exploration of cultural identity & expressive depth, which has helped create
a holistic approach that emphasizes balance, mindfulness, and the nurturing
of one’s physical & internal energy.

This methodology is defined by a language of play, grounding, and subtle supplementation. The approach invites participants to engage
with their bodies with minimal effort, fostering an openness to recognize
& listen to the nuanced messages from their physical container.
Through this cross-pollination of Qi Gong & creative movement, he aims
to provide a transformative experience that is accessible to all, emphasizing the beauty of connecting with one’s self through intentional movement.

In addition to the movement practices, China has embraced the spiritual
& healing dimensions of sound through over 5 years of playing the
Native American and Bansuri flute. These instruments, with their soothing
& evocative tones, are integral to his sound healing journeys and personal sacramental rituals. Their melodies offer a pathway to deeper meditation, emotional release & connection.

Whether through the expressive power of dance or the meditative flow
of music, his mission is to help others in discovering the profound connections within themselves, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intrinsic unity
of body, mind, spirit, and culture.

Brian (Haziel) Hager

Haziel the Great – Chef, Creative Director, and Innovator –
Born and Raised in Durham, NC.

Brian’s journey began in 2020 while studying Civil Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University. It was here that he discovered his passion
for the culinary arts & the world of service. He envisioned creating a unique, intimate, and unforgettable experience for creatives across all industries,
with dining at the heart of it.

He transformed cooking into an art form, turning recipes into masterpieces that engage the senses—not just the taste buds. Brian’s dishes aren’t merely food; they are experiences, visually stunning, and conceptually woven
into the narrative of a creative exhibit. This shift led him to embrace a new identity in the creative world—an artist, not just a chef.

His next step took him to New York, where he toured the country with
Chef N’ Tailor, a luxury event planning company based in Manhattan.
Under the mentorship of Executive Chef Hezakiah DeCosta, he refined
his vision—breathing new life into private events and catering with an innovative approach.

Brian specializes in creating intimate environments, where the plating mirrors
the essence of the gathering itself. His focus goes beyond a recipe or the
dish itself: His mission is to connect & inspire artistic communities, using food as a catalyst to elevate all who take a seat at his table. Supporting those who dare to be bold.

Co-hosting these experiences, he ensures that every guest feels seen
& nourished—both physically, spiritually and emotionally.
As the glue that binds the celebration, he adds a dynamic energy of love,
life, & gratitude, leaving a lasting imprint. We’re not just serving food;
we’re feeding the soul. And trust us—you’ll know the difference.
Trust Your Chef.
