SUMMARY:The Best Medicine
DESCRIPTION:The Best Medicine\nSunday\, December 7th\, 2025\nFacilitator: Kris Hostika | DJ Kristikka \nWhen we step into this sacred dance container\, movement becomes medicine for the soul. We all create this safe and nurturing space in order to feel all of who we are. Bring your joy\, your tenderness\, your wildness\, your truth. Through the rhythms\, movement and permission to surrender\, dance becomes a powerful healer where we can shake out stress\, open our hearts\, awaken creativity\, and deeply connect with our divine essence. \nTogether we journey meeting what arises\, shedding what’s ready to fall away\, and discovering new strength and clarity on the other side. This dance is a ritual of renewal\, a huge dose of self love\, and a reminder that your body knows the way. \nWhat medicine is waiting for you in this dance?

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?
