Facilitator's Invitation
The Perfection Of It All
Friday, July 3rd, 2026
Guest DJ: Karen Funshine (Karen Smith)
Support Facilitator: Kris Hostikka
What if there is nothing wrong in our world and everything is part of a larger Divine intelligence that we cannot fully comprehend? What we call “good” and “bad” may simply be judgments based on our limited human perspective.
The Tao Te Ching teaches that reality naturally moves according to the Tao – the underlying way or flow of existence. Suffering arises when humans resist, judge, control, or force life to conform to their preferences. What if all of it is necessary? The beauty and the horror, birth and death, love and betrayal, war and peace are all needed for our growth and to maintain balance. Can we trust in the unfolding mystery?
As the poet and mystic Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
Guest DJ
Karen Funshine
Karen Funshine (Karen Smith) has been dancing since age 3, with movement as her lifelong ally. A veteran raver & EDM enthusiast, she was delighted to discover 5Rhythms and ecstatic dance 10 years ago in Austin – a sober and judgment-free space to get wild & free. She’s since facilitated many women’s conscious dance circles and a vibrant live-instrument dance – weaving music and somatic movement to alchemize emotion, open the heart, and awaken joy. Recently relocated to Asheville, Karen is honored to share her passion and playfulness with her beautiful new community through the universal language of music and dance.
