Lost Valley Dance┃Fire of Transformation w Sheena Medicina

THEME: 🔥 The Fire of Transformation 🔥 Dropping deeper into the rainy rhythms of Winter's darkness...turning our attention further into the depths of our own bottomless beings...we rediscover the inner light of our own Awareness. Meeting it with dedication to our highest evolution, the beams we are focus and magnify. The tinder of Insight combusts within, and the inner Fires of Transformation spread... We gather together in dance & ceremony to stoke the flames of our inner truths, claiming our inborn right to transform ourselves in alignment with our highest vision, to alchemize our fears into faith, our shortcomings into strengths, and our confusion into clarity. Join us in the ceremonial celebration of transformation! ______________________________________________________ 🔥 Each month for the last 5 years we have explored this communal space of authenticity, connection, vulnerability, ceremony and play. We invite you to join us for another magical exploration of connection and expansion - Workshops, Live Music, Ecstatic Dance, Wood-fired Sauna/Hot-tub and more.. 🔥 ⫷ This is a conscious and intentional event that holds space for deep healing, joy, and communion.
