S A N C T U A R Y ~ Scorpio New Moon Dance Experience

As we move through these darkest moments of the seasonal wheel, remember to give your heart, soul, body, and mind SANCTUARY. Come in from the cold.. cocoon your sacred self pulling your threads HOME. It's okay if you've been distracted.. me too.. this holy dark moon can hold us as we re-knit ourselves and our tender hearts strengthen in community. More info: S A N C T U A R Y 3rd Wednesdays every month, 7-9pm @Norse Hall, 2nd Floor 111 NE 11th in Portland, that's NE 11th and Couch. Building upon a foundation of over 15 years curating music for and hosting Ecstatic Dance events in Portland, Anna is excited and honored to continue to bring forward an evening dance opportunity. Together we Cultivate a Dance Floor of deep care & respect as we bring our Wild, Grieving, Celebratory Selves to the space! Let's allow Curiosity & Wisdom and PLAY to guide our steps. An invitation to weave beauty, strength, and healing into our lives through the practice and devotion of listening to the body, intuition, and dancing with what IS. We give Sanctuary to the underexpressed parts of ourselves and welcome in a space to FEEL and to MOVE and to BE with Life Force as She/He/They dances within us. Through ebbs and flows and changing tides, we weave ourselves across TIME and Nature’s Cycles, Sanctuary gives us the room we need to attune to Creativity, the Living Now, and unfurl in our uniquely Resonant Expression ~ where what's inside is what can be expressed/danced outwardly. We are not stuck in our past habits and outdated identities.. On this dance floor, you are invited to try on new shapes and patterns and discover fresh inspiration. Let's guard some time in the workaday rhythm for our SOULS to become more fully EMBODIED and for our Spirits to PLAY. Exchange: $22 - $30 THE GENERAL FLOW ~ Doors open at 7pm, music is playing and there is time for arrival and warmup until about 7:30. We gather in an opening circle at 7:30 and will go over some guidelines and the night's specific invitation will be shared... these can be somatic inquiry prompts, potential to participate in an interactive art installation/altar on certain nights, and more as inspiration guides each night. The main music set begins right after Opening Circle, and lasts 70-80 minutes. Closing Circle is at 8:45isch ~ an opportunity to sit with each other after experiencing the dance journey and share from our experience in the dance. Come experience the value and unique support this Dance floor can provide! We look forward to dancing with you soon 🙂
