On the third stop of our QUEST we dive into “Play” and why it should be incorporated into our wellness practices. We explore different methods of play with our guests and co-hosts; from having an adventurous spirit, to incorporating art into your daily life. Our guests discuss some of their play methods; like creating sound healing in and out of the nightclub and even performing comedy. But as our host Allena points out, it can be as simple as playing Mario Kart with your friends!
We chat with the high-spirited comedian and actress Jacq The Stripper at the Sum Of Us Festival and DJ CLA, a badass international DJ and sound healer. Listen in to hear how they’ve both incorporated play into their lives!

OUR GUESTS:
Jacq The Stripper @jacqthestripper is a serious artist. Author of irreverent titles like The Beaver Show, Striptastic and Divorce Illustrated. She is free, expensive and does not currently have a fixed address.
DJ CLA @djcla plays for some of the top-grossing nightclubs on the Las Vegas strip. Her high energy sets energize crowds locally, nationally and internationally, from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, New York, Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas. There’s no place C.L.A. would rather be than behind two turntables and a mixer, she happily calls her “office.”
