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.

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.”

SUMMARY:Transcending Reality
DESCRIPTION:Transcending Reality\nFriday\, June 26th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: DJ Magdalyn(Wryn Magdalyn)\nSupport Facilitator: Kristikka \n“Transcendence is a perspective in which we can view our whole being from a higher vantage point with acceptance\, wisdom\, and a sense of connectedness with the rest of humanity\,” describes Scott Barry Kaufman. This is often what occurs in the ecstatic dance experience when all the elements are just right : a great group of dancers\, a safe container\, and a musical journey that invites us deeper into ourselves. A journey that doesn’t just take us up\, it takes us down\, around and through. Through the stuckness in the mind\, the stiffness in the body and out the other side to a more liberated and unified self. May this be our shared experience.

SUMMARY:The Perfection Of It All
DESCRIPTION:The Perfection Of It All\nFriday\, July 3rd\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Karen Funshine (Karen Smith)\nSupport Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nWhat 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. \nThe 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? \nAs the poet and mystic Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing\, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

SUMMARY:Untamed
DESCRIPTION:Untamed\nFriday\, July 31st\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Stacey Butcher\nSupport Facilitator: Marta Martín \nSummer is a season of wild growth. Fields stretch toward the sun\, rivers find their own course\, and life flourishes beyond the boundaries we try to impose on it. In the same way\, there is a part of each of us that longs to move freely ~ to shake off expectations\, step outside familiar patterns\, and reconnect with our natural vitality. \nThis ecstatic dance is an invitation to listen to the untamed wisdom of the body. Through movement\, we’ll explore what happens when we loosen our grip on how we think we should be and instead follow the impulses\, rhythms\, and instincts that arise from within. \nTogether we’ll create a space where the wild\, authentic\, and fully alive parts of ourselves can emerge and dance. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Ancestor’s Dream\nFriday\, August 7th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Rory Jagdeo \nAncestor’s Dream ~ Anonymous \nBeneath the soil of forgotten years\,\nThey spun their hope from grief and tears\,\nA whispered wish upon the night\,\nFor roots to hold and wings for flight. \nThey saw through mists of time and space\,\nThe bold emergence of our face\,\nAnd in the quiet of the dark\,\nThey kept alive the glowing spark. \nWe are the breath of what they sought\,\nThe very peace for which they fought\,\nAcross the bridge of time\, we gleam:\nWe are our ancestor’s great dream.
