11 11 Ecstatic Dance PVD with Stephen Katz

Join us for a special 11/11 Cello Temple and Gratitude dance with our very special guest... Let's dance in mystery and thanks-giving with the "Super Gentle Cello-Centric Auditory Amazing-ness of Stephen Katz! We will begin with a 30 minute movement warm up guided by Tara Ma and Stephen followed by the "Cello Temple" - a communion of dance and sound. The Cello Temple space invites dancing, lounging, listening and writing or drawing. The music will transition to an ecstatic electronic journey by Tara Ma and end gently with a sound bath by Stephen. ✨REMEMBERING BRAD✨ Please bring photos, flowers, objects, sticks, and/or haiku for the altar to honor and grieve our dear friend and community member Brad Larson who was senselessly killed in his home last week . At some point in the evening we will collectively create a spiral dance to call in his spirit energy to dance with us. May his memory be a blessing.
