SUMMARY:Call of the Wild
DESCRIPTION:Call of the Wild\nSunday\, October 17th\nFacilitator: Kris Hostikka | DJ Kristikka \nWhat hidden places in you ache to be danced into being? Shame and judgement can shut down parts of ourselves that may be longing to be in the light. This is your invitation to surrender the mask\, to move not for form but for freedom. Let the rhythms unfasten your spirit and the dance reveal the raw\, radiant truth of who you are when no one is watching. Come\, be unmade. Come\, bring your wildness out to play in this container of safety\, respect and liberation.

SUMMARY:The Days of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:The Days of the Dead\nSunday\, Novemeber 2nd\nFacilitator: Sarah Bensman \nAs the days grow colder\, the shadows grow longer and the dark nights lengthen\, our attention tends to move toward our internal space. Throughout history and across the globe\, people have responded to the turning inward by reacquainting themselves with death. Dia de los Muertos\, Samhain\, Allhallowtide\, and Halloween\, each express this impulse with its own distinct flavor. This Sunday\, we will dance our unique AMCollective fusion of the season’s death days and invite our loved ones that have crossed over to join us on the dance floor. Please feel free to bring photos or objects for our shared alter to honor and welcome your dead friends and family. \nAbout Sara Bensman: Sara’s mix-making arises from musical exploration. She seeks to understand energy through somatic responses to sonic vibrations. Her facilitation is propelled by a desire to help build and sustain community by creating a safe\, loving container for self-expression\, connection and release.

SUMMARY:Feel it to Heal it
DESCRIPTION:Feel it to Heal it\nFriday\, Nov 7th\nSupporting Facilitator: Kris Hostikka\nGuest DJ: Josiah Greenewald | DJ Osiah \nHow do we humans process and move through our emotions\, our grief\, our rage\, our fear\, our loneliness? How do we deal with the fear of the future\, the ever-shifting unknown unknowns\, the countless wars and atrocities\, the very real existential threats to the people and the planet\, the depths of despair\, the raging fires inside\, and the seemingly futile fight to save ourselves from ourselves? … \nWE DANCE – We dance harder than our minds think our body is capable of. To dance is to pray\, to fully surrender E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G through the holy water pouring from our pores onto the wooden floors. It’s the only way I know. And it’s an ancient technology that has been around for as long as humanity. \nThis dance wave is meant to be a container to allow the frequencies of the full-spectrum of emotions come through and be felt and embodied. \nLook at it. Be with it. Feel it. Heal it.

SUMMARY:Spread Your Wings
DESCRIPTION:Spread your Wings\nSunday\, November 16th\nFacilitator: Conway Weary \nGentle Dancers. As we are of this Place\, we know the winds of this Place – from the soft breeze that sings with the trees and caresses our skin\, to the destructive sweep of a hurricane\, and all the inbetween winds and their stories. And here\, as the biting North Wind of Winter approaches\, we also know ourselves to be in a great sweeping gale of global change and uncertainty. Gentle Dancers\, wind energy infuses this mix. Let’s spread our wings and practice riding the currents together. And in the riding\, and within the wide reach of our wings\, may we tell a great and everlasting story of love and resilience.

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:Let Go\, Come Closer
DESCRIPTION:Let Go\, Come Closer\nSunday\, December 14th\, 2025\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nThe origins of the seasons is understood through the tale of Persephone\, who spends her winters in the underworld with the dark god of that world\, Hades. In most tellings\, she is taken by him against her will\, but perhaps she chooses to be with this dark lover. \nPersephone’s mother\, Demeter\, the goddess of seeds\, growth and fertility\, decimated by the loss of her beloved daughter to the world of death\, arranges a solution in which Persephone is returned to her. But then\, in a surprising twist\, Persephone eats the pomegranate seeds from the underworld and this act commits her to returning to Hades every winter. And thus begins the seasons. \nThis back and forth she does each year between the verdant world of creation and the dark world of death is what makes Persephone both complex and familiar. Don’t we all have to find the balance within us to survive the vicissitude of life? We are constantly in the throws of calling what we love closer and letting go of what no longer feeds us. This mix is an honoring of that tension between moving towards and releasing\, making room in our internal closet for the springtime by honoring the letting go of the winter. \nPhotograph by Laura Pashby

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?
