SUMMARY:Grounding into Peace
DESCRIPTION:Grounding into Peace\nSunday\, August 2nd\, 2026\nFacilitator: Kristikka \nSo many spiritual teachers have spoken about peace and that it is an inside job. If we want more peace in the world\, we need to cultivate that and ground it deeper within ourselves. The intention of this dance is to surrender and dissolve anything that creates disharmony within us. Let’s generate a felt sense of peace that we can send into the Earth and the ether.

SUMMARY:Ancestor's Dream
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.

SUMMARY:Like the First Time
DESCRIPTION:Like the First Time\nSunday\, August 16th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nImagine yourself experiencing music for the very first time. Your body naturally reacts to the rhythms\, spontaneously engaged with beat and melody. Before the concepts of dance\, grace\, or acceptable moves exist in your mind\, before the imprints of cultural norms take root in your cells\, your body simply played in the field of music. \nThis is an invitation to release all you think and feel and know about dancing and come explore the floor with the innocence of a toddler. Allow yourself to take a break from patterns of movement you’ve cultivated throughout your life\, to experiment with new ways of responding to music and community and to re-set your nervous system with your organic expressions.

SUMMARY:Eclipse Season
DESCRIPTION:Eclipse Season\nFriday\, August 21st\, 2026\nFacilitator: DJ SeigeA (CJ O’Reilly) \nWhat grabs our attention more than the darkening of our nearest celestial bodies? \nWhile we may not always be in a position to directly view the eclipses\, these powerful events occur regularly and in groups. There was recently a solar eclipse\, and at the end of the month there will be a partial lunar eclipse. \nWhat does this cycle mark for you? What do you notice in the shadows of these eclipses? \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lost
DESCRIPTION:Lost\nSunday\, August 23rd\, 2026\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nStand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you\nAre not lost. Wherever you are is called Here\,\nAnd you must treat it as a powerful stranger\,\nMust ask permission to know it and be known.\nThe forest breathes. Listen. It answers\,\nI have made this place around you.\nIf you leave it\, you may come back again\, saying Here.\nNo two trees are the same to Raven.\nNo two branches are the same to Wren.\nIf what a tree or a bush does is lost on you\,\nYou are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows\nWhere you are. You must let it find you. \n— David Wagoner \nI can never be lost\, and I can never be abandoned\, because wherever I go\, there I am.

SUMMARY:Night Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Night Bloom\nFriday\, August 28th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Jeannie Adair \nWhat in you is waiting for the right conditions to bloom? \nSome flowers open only after the sun has disappeared. \nThey need no instructions.\nThey do not strain toward the light.\nThey simply wait for the conditions that allow what is already within them to unfold. \nOn this late August summer night\, let’s gather to create those conditions together. \nNIGHT BLOOM \nThere are flowers that wait for darkness. \nAll day\,\nthey hold their fragrance close\,\nasking nothing of the sun. \nThen evening comes. \nThe air cools.\nThe garden grows quiet. \nAnd under the guidance\nof the moon\,\nsomething hidden\nbegins to open. \nPerhaps something in you\nhas been waiting\, too. \nAnd given the fertile dark\,\nthe beckoning moon\,\nthe ancient rhythms\,\nand a body unbound\, \nthat bud will remember\nhow to bloom. \n  \n
