Melting into the SPRING: Equinox Friday Night Alchemy
Join our Beloved Community as we gather to celebrate the Spring Equinox, in Dance and in Stillness. After a breath-of-fresh-air warmup, we sit, walk and dance using the powerful simplicity of Open Floor’s Meditation Cycle. We listen to Nature’s call: letting ourselves feel the Darkness in the world, yet calling in the Light that balances it. With compassion, courage and hope, we move for All Beings!
We will continue our In-Person dancing while simultaneously Zooming with our global community.
