SUMMARY:Breath and Bone
DESCRIPTION:Breath and Bone\nFriday\, January 2nd\, 2026\nGuest DJ: DJ Yaku Beat (Josh Courtney)\nSupporting Facilitator: Jeannie Adair \nBreath and Bone is an ecstatic dance journey rooted in the body’s oldest knowing.

SUMMARY:Dance Like a Child
DESCRIPTION:Dance Like a Child\nSunday\, January 4th\, 2025\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \n“Babies don’t perform movement — they discover it.”\n— Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen \nFrom a recent NYTimes article: \nBabies and toddlers are un-self-conscious when they dance. They’re spontaneous\, present\, unconcerned with who’s watching them. This approach brings us back to our own intelligent bodies\, our own basic understanding of what it is to be alive. \nDo adults perform movement when they dance? They do. We do. We have no choice — we’ve done it before\, so each time we dance we’re re-enacting the remnants of every time we’ve danced previously. We try and fail and try again to catch the rhythm; we think about how we’re being perceived. But what a privilege it is to move\, even if it’s awkward\, to be embodied and expressing and trying to be responsive to a beat\, to be more subject and less object. \nSo much of our movement is just using our bodies like reliable vehicles to get ourselves from one place to another. Dancing is an act of remembering that\, once\, when we were small\, everything was new. Once\, we moved our bodies primarily in order to play\, express and discover. The more online we become\, the farther we drift from our earliest soundtrack\, the rhythm that’s in us before we’re born\, the basslike thump-thump of our mother’s heartbeat and the oontz-oontz of her circulating blood. \nYou can watch adults learning from a toddler here and here. \nParents: ask your little one if they would be willing to teach us all some moves during the first several minutes of the wave!

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.
