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:Let Go of the Banana!
DESCRIPTION:Let Go of the Banana!\nSunday\, May 17th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nYou may have heard the parable of a simple way to catch monkeys in the jungle. Leave a banana in a container with an opening large enough for the monkey’s hand\, but small enough that it can’t remove its hand while grasping the banana. Even as a hunter approaches\, the monkey won’t release the banana so it can escape. \nWhat is the banana that is keeping you stuck because you won’t let it go? Approval or acceptance of your lifestyle choices from a parent? Permission to set a boundary? Needing to prove your point or win the argument? \nYou are invited to release some bananas in Sunday’s dance and grieve their loss. Then\, enjoy your freedom! \n

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.”

DESCRIPTION:Rise and Shine\nSunday\, June 14th\, 2026\nFacilitator: DJ Kristikka (Kris Hostikka) \nAs we draw closer to the Summer Solstice—the longest day of light—there is an invitation to shine like the sun without holding back. Connect and project your radiance. Rise and dance from your essence. Allow light to move into any place within that longs for tenderness\, healing\, or renewal. Let the music move through you like sunlight through a forest\, illuminating what is ready to awaken. \nTogether\, we will create hundreds of points of light\, sparkling throughout our dance temple. With every step\, every breath\, every joyful expression\, we dissolve a little more heaviness and remember the simple miracle of being alive. Come shine like the sun. Come add your light to the collective glow.

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.
