SUMMARY:Right Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Right Relationship\nFriday\, Nov 28th\nGuest DJ: Karen Smith\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nThe concept of “right relationship” is central to many indigenous cultures and is a way of living in a sustainable\, loving way with all living beings. How can we walk more harmoniously with each other\, in reverence of the earth and all of her inhabitants? Can we be more mindful of how we are using our time\, energy and resources and have that reflect the new world we are creating? May this dance invoke a deep sense of gratitude for our abundant blessings\, our sacred earth mother and a vision of peace\, love and oneness. May each moment\, each breath\, be a prayer\, an offering\, an honoring.

SUMMARY:Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Transitions\nFriday\, December 12th\, 2025\nGuest DJ: Stacey Butcher\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nAs we stand between fall and winter\, nature reminds us how to shift\, release\, and reshape ourselves. This dance invites you into the fertile space between seasons—the place where what was is dissolving\, and what’s next is quietly forming. Together we’ll explore how our bodies breathe through change\, how we anchor ourselves in motion\, and how movement helps us melt resistance and welcome what’s emerging. Come dance the in-between.

SUMMARY:Stories and Tea
DESCRIPTION:Stories and Tea\nFriday\, December 19th\, 2025\nGuest DJ: DJ SeigeA | CJ O’Reilly\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nHave you ever heard a story and wondered: Is that true? \nWe all know about Santa… *spoiler alter* isn’t real ;P But what of the lessons of the Christmas spirit? \nPerhaps you tell yourself a story about yourself or another\, and find out later it’s not what you thought\, unlocking limiting perceptions and uncharted potential! \nIn the weavings of community\, stories are sometimes the latest hot goss. And who doesn’t like to hear the latest tea? These stories serve as important information about who we’re safe with\, but can also spin out of control. \nHow do we relate to stories and their tea in a healthy way? What stories do you want to doubt? What stories are important to take to heart? How do we decide?

SUMMARY:El Libro de La Selva
DESCRIPTION:El Libro de La Selva\nFriday\, January 16th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: DJ Fiddlehead | Clay Savely\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nFiddlehead invites you to embark on a fresh new Quest into the magic and wonder of the beloved jungles of our hearts\, minds and bodies. As our beautiful deciduous rainforests of Appalachia lay cold and dormant beneath the surface and mycelium\, we remember the inner warmth of our heart space and the many cozy fires we tend as a powerful community. In this collective dance of unity and hope\, we honour all of the magical beings\, animals and plants around the world in all of the ecosystems that need our support. As we dance through this cascading wave of change\, we find joy and bliss in the challenges and hurdles of our life\, and send love to all those in need. We dance together to release\, renew and cleanse under the healing waterfalls of eternity and all of the sacred rainforests around El Mundo. Our life continues to be an open book\, and what we write next will determine the course of the future for the next seven generations. \nArtwork by Thomas Kinkade

SUMMARY:EMERGENCE
DESCRIPTION:EMERGENCE\nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Karen Funshine\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nAs we near the end of the year of the snake and shed our last layers\, what is it that you are envisioning emerging?\nAre there parts of you that have been lying dormant\, stifled or unexpressed? Is there an aspect of you ready to be liberated?\nPerhaps there’s a whole new avatar you’d like to try on. We can use the dance to experiment and play with new possibilities. Get curious.\nAs we continue to release\, we create space for new layers of our being to come forth and be expressed. Who will emerge on the other side?

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Into the Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Into the Mystery\nFriday\, January 30th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Stacey Butcher\nSupporting Facilitator: Kristikka \nThis event is cancelled due to weather. \nWinter is a season of turning inward. As the outer world slows and quiets\, we’re invited to listen more closely—to sensation\, breath\, and the subtle rhythms moving within us. Through music and free movement\, we’ll explore the living intelligence inside our own skin—curiosity instead of answers\, presence instead of performance. Come dance with what’s unknown\, unfixed\, and waiting to be felt\, and let the mystery move you from the inside out.

SUMMARY:Archetypal Play!
DESCRIPTION:Archtypal Play!\nFriday\, February 06\, 2026\nGuest DJ: DJ SeigeA | CJ O’Reilly\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nThe Collective Unconcious is the waters of archetypes – of the many potentail manifestations of being. We flow through these manifestations as we act and be\, walking tightropes between the shadows.\nWhat Archetypes are you expressing? What Archetypes do you see around you?\nHow do you want to play within and with these archetypes? Is this expression balanced\, or shadowed?\nWhat is the experience and impact of this expression? \n“Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling\, but only from experiencing them to the full.” \n“To the superficial observer\, it will appear like madness” \n– C.G. Jung \nImage generated with MidJourney

SUMMARY:Ouroboros
DESCRIPTION:Ouroboros\nFriday\, February 20th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Suede Raven | Ginkgo Moon\nSupporting Facilitator: Kristikka \nWhere endings feed beginnings\, where the serpent consumes its own tail not in destruction but in transformation. \nMove through all of it: the death of what was\, the fertile void between breaths\, and the emergence of what’s becoming. We dance the spiral. Returning to where we began\, yet never quite the same. \nExpect a soundscape weaving ambient meditation\, global bass\, Afro-Brazilian rhythms\, UK garage\, and ecstatic peaks. A sonic wave for your infinite becoming. \nDance your cycles. Dance your completions and your fresh starts. Dance the truth that you are always both ending and beginning.

SUMMARY:Envision
DESCRIPTION:Envision\nFriday\, March 6th\, 2026\nPathway Facilitator: Karen Funshine\nSupporting Facilitator: Kristikka \nWhat you can dare to dream\, you can begin to live. The images you hold in your mind and body are not fantasy – they are blueprints\, quietly shaping your choices\, your energy\, and the way you move through the world. When you slow down enough to truly envision what you desire and let yourself feel it as if it’s already unfolding\, you start aligning your actions with that reality. We are constantly creating through our attention and intention. So the question becomes: what future are you dreaming into existence? Let’s dance that vision to life.

SUMMARY:Behind the Wheel
DESCRIPTION:Behind the Wheel\nFriday\, March 13th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nRemember the freedom of the open road. The sense that all possibilities open to us once we decide to take charge of the wheel. Come dance the highways\, gravel roads\, single tracks\, and neural pathways. Dance your way through the tunnels and rainstorms\, over expansive bridges and round and round the circular tracks. Find escape maneuvers from dead ends and traffic jams. Feel the power of the engine when you press down the pedal\, lean in to the slow arcs of the curves\, savor the confusion of getting lost and the satisfaction in knowing your way. Enjoy the quiet solitude of the open road\, the companionability of friends\, or the reassurance of Dog beside you. Choose your destination and your path.

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.”
