HOW IT WORKS

This is the university I wish I’d attended, where you’ll have the opportunity to do what might otherwise take 10 years in just 8 months. 

The skills you need to be a powerful DJ are the same skills you need to lead boldly, live courageously, expand your expression and feel infinitely supported by life itself.

This is not a small deal.

We’ve distilled the art of raucous, liberated dance floors down to a science. We’re obsessed with creating experiences that feel like the intersection of heaven + home. This program is packed with the knowledge, practice and tools to generate magic in every room you touch.

“You will not find a better course than this if you are looking to understand deeply what it means to be a good DJ. I can’t even put into words what that’s meant to me.

The level of knowledge that’s being transmitted is absolutely impeccable and the level of teaching is insanely good.”

“There’s so much Tasha’s packing into it. She’s giving you the interweaving of disciplines and the stacking and synthesis of it all. That’s what Tasha does better than anyone else I’ve ever met in the world … and I’ve met a lot of people!

The design and structure is just fantastic. At any point in the day you have a go-to person to hold you, and bring you along and help you move forward.

TL;DR

Oliver

PhDJ 2.0 Grad

“Now no matter what set I’m doing, I feel like a pro. My entire philosophy on what a DJ is and what a DJ can do is night and day.

You don’t know whether you’re going to hear something that’s going to bring you to tears or crack up or giggle.

What’s being given is confidence in yourself.”

“ You will receive tools that will serve you in every area of your life.

Nervous system regulation, space holding, ceremony. The amount of content delivered in here is borderline too much, but in the best perfect, most amazing way that opens up every single rabbit hole you might wanna drill down on.

You get everything you need to create your own adventure and use it to turn yourself into a DJ with real-life superpowers.”

- Molly, PhDJ 2.0 Grad
