Lila Familia ~ Metamorphosis

Come and celebrate the richness of this spring metamorphosis with an evening of free-form ecstatic dance. Let's tap into the earth's dynamic rhythm and step and move our bodies in accordance. Spring revitalization and re-birth. All the promise of a new season. The breath of life as it fills us with inspiration. Let's create a container together as we move through these motions and find that true freedom of expression. The invitation for the evening is to co-create a vibrant and healthy dance space for us to awaken from our cocoons and take flight. We'll do so by coordinating our arrival as close to 8pm as possible, settling in by 8:30pm, and then gathering in circle, setting our trajectory, and then opening up with a brief guided meditation. The bulk of our journey will be free-form dance expression and moving meditation, guided by rich and soulful, tastefully bass-augmented music from around the world, moving gently from quiet beginnings through a raucous and ecstatic culmination, and back to quietness. Our dance will end with a short closing circle around 10:45pm after which point we'll serve some snacks and open up the space for socializing and gentle movement. We'd also invite folks to gather round for a discussion about what you'd like to see this sort of dance event look like going forward. We feel like there's a calling coming through for these sorts of healthy dance events that are the perfect combination of wholesomeness and wild revelatory dance. Guaranteed to gather all the goodness. We've put the utmost care into selecting the best tracks to be played on the most robust sound system. We're not convinced this is the ultimate venue for our events, but it's a nice big space where we can play our music freely, and it'll be done up in a good way with the help of many loving hands. In ways this is an inaugural outpouring of something that's been in gestation for many long rounds. Come help us craft this moment, and co-create something special. This is a humble offering from our hearts and we'd like to keep it as affordable as possible. We're asking $15 to $20 sliding scale.
