Rhythm Sanctuary ~ Emergence ~ w Steven Newman

Cover Art : Alex Grey Our bodies… a chrysalis for the new life that is emerging. Spring is here, and we are just beginning to come out of our chrysalis stage… forced to occupy ourselves. Called inward… asked to remember. We are people of the soil… Earthlings. And people of the stars… Starlings, too. Our bodies, conduits for both— gestating seeds of ancient earth wisdom while radiating the light of heaven. We gather to dance and sing, to pray and play, in rhythm with this waxing crescent moon and our own becoming. As we await the butterfly within… roots to wings… we are invited to emerge from within: What do we need? How are we offering our gifts? And how do our actions ripple through the whole? Each of us, a microcosmic expression of Earth Mother herself. How we tend to our lives is how we tend to Her. And She is asking for our attention— reminding us… we do not belong to ourselves alone. We belong to Her. ----------- ❤ ------------- THROUGH THE GATEWAY: $12~25 Sliding Scale/ Venmo if needed (Show at door) ❤ Here we gather in a safe and sacred space into the arms of the Beloved and the company of one another. ❤ Here we dance and play, sing and pray.

INTUITIVE EXPRESSION – Freeform or ecstatic dance allows us to bypass the thinking mind and move in a way that feels natural, unlocking creativity and self-discovery. EMOTIONAL RELEASE – Movement helps process emotions that may be stuck, allowing us to clear energy and feel more aligned with our true self. RHYTHMIC CONNECTION – Dancing to rhythms and music creates a deep sense of harmony, connecting us to the pulse of life itself. SACRED RITUAL – At Rhythm Sanctuary we are one of the many who use dance as a way to access spiritually ecstatic sober states, celebrate existence, commune with the divine, and honor the mystery of being
