SUMMARY:Embrace You-Ness
DESCRIPTION:Embrace You-Ness\nFriday\, May 15th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Karen Funshine (Karen Smith)\nSupport Facilitator: Ted Riskin \n“You-Ness” is the essence of you\, a completely unique blend of your genetic & astrological blueprint\, your life experiences\, your spirit\, talents\, & desires. Within you lives a full spectrum of personalities\, from the wounded child to the wise sage\, from the artist to the scientist and so many varied expressions in between. This dance is an invitation to step fully into that multi-dimensional being and welcome all parts of yourself\, raw\, real\, and FREE. Drop the mask of your “usual self” and allow what’s been hidden or suppressed to breathe\, move\, be seen and felt\, whether it be the elegant or the profane\, the tender or the fierce\, the serious or the sensual\, the timid or the wild one. There is no bad or wrong part of you. It’s all perfect\, whole & complete. Together\, we celebrate radical self-acceptance rather than comparison and rediscover the freedom of being wholly\, unapologetically you. In the words of the great Dr. Seuss\, “Today you are You\, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You”. So\, let’s dive in and get curious about which parts of us show up when we invite them into our dance with loving\, open arms\, minds\, & hearts.

SUMMARY:Shapeshifters
DESCRIPTION:Shapeshifters\nFriday\, May 22nd\, 2026\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nI Am a Prayer\nby Joy Harjo \nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of rain in the desert when the flowering ones need a drink\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of sun when there is no end to night\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of ocean when there is no more blue\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of clouds when few make rain songs\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of roads that lead everywhere but home\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of white birds who cannot fly through a storm of fear\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of fire who arrived to care for humans\, then was misused to destroy\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of wind\, whose breathing carries seeds\, pollen\, and songs to feed the generations\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of moon who wears the night as a shawl to hide that which should never be spoken\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of grief\, when life gambled with death and gave up families for guns\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of smoke\, wandering the broken houses\, the littered ground looking for a white flag of reason\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of mountains\, those tall humble ones who agreed to lift our eyes to see\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of forever making a path of beauty through the rubble of eternity\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of poetry speaking the soundlessness of the dead who return to speak in prayer\nI am a prayer with children on my back roaming the earth house of destruction and creation\nI am a prayer without end \nGnosis\, the knowing that comes from experience\, from fully understanding something from the inside out\, transforms our soul\, and opens us to empathy\, connection and a sense of oneness. To know something physical\, such as a river or a coat\, we must try it on\, envelope ourselves in its texture\, form\, scent and movement. Our ancestors became the lion\, the eagle or the willow tree through the transformational magic of trance in order to know how a lion hunts\, an eagle sees\, or a willow bends\, but also simply to know those beings. This shapeshifting dance is an invitation to explore the essences of others in order find ourselves within our “family of things.”
