About this Event

Alchemy ~ Embrace the Shadows ~ With Mr. Berg-E It’s that time of year; the days are shorter, the light fades faster, and our cozy little sanctuary keeps doing what it does best: dim lights, deep music, and room to move with what’s real. This Wednesday, we’re leaning into the season, literally and figuratively embracing the shadows. Nothing unusual here (we’re not handing out blindfolds), just the same inviting, low-lit space where the dance helps us feel more, not less. Let the soft darkness be a friend, a mirror, and a gentle nudge inward. Whether you’re feeling moody, playful, wild, or still, come dance with whatever’s alive in you. The shadows aren’t something to fear… they’re part of the magic. 🖤🌙 18+ Doors: 6:45 pm (for your arrival and landing within the Sanctuary) Dance: 7-8:30pm, Optional closing circle: 8:30pm (10-15min) Fallen Alders Hall, 3595 Royston Rd cash or e transfer 20-25$, hall has wifi *If funds are a concern for you, we have weekly volunteer opportunities in exchange for an entry fee.

Be ready to be moved. https://soundcloud.com/mr_berg-e We welcome you to come and experience this epic candlelit sanctuary we create every Wednesday evening. Alchemy is an adult only ecstatic dance experience, where you can expect to be taken on a sonic journey by one of our 6 rotating DJs. Alchemy is a growing community, a mid-week oasis, a place to ground and deepen, a place to be guided and inspired to access your own healing medicine. Alchemy offers a 1.5 hr dance focused experience (no talking on the dance floor) and a 10-15min (optional) closing circle to end the evening fostering connection and community. Please dm me with any questions!! COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS WITHIN THE SPACE: *No talking on the dance floor (This is a dance focused space) *No outdoor shoes on the dance floor *No cell phones, pictures or videos *Must be 18 or older to attend CONSENT: We recognize that touch and physical proximity can mean different things to different people. In this space we practice self-awareness of our own bodies, and the ways in which we engage with the moving bodies of others. We define consent as freely given, enthusiastic agreement for mutual participation. WHEN APPROACHING OTHERS: *Make no assumptions! *Look for a yes, look for eye contact *Respect any no (including when someone is ignoring you or moves away from you) *Respect a Solo Dancer’s right to their space. * Do not engage in physical touch without clear consent. (By extending your hand to another dancer it signals you would like to connect in a physical dance, if they put their hand into yours that signals consent for a physical dance)
