Take in the beauty of Our Settling Sun at our idyllic local farm in Hopewell, New Jersey for a playful restorative yoga / movement practice, ecstatic dance, sound journey with a conscious loving community. Both Outside and Inside the Big Red Barn. We meet at the lovely Big Red Barn at the meadow overlooking the Lotus Pond, home of native wildlife, ducklings π₯, geese and peacocks π¦ an experience sprinkled with birdsong, geese honks and peacock calls, culminating with a concerto of crickets and accented perhaps with frog-song with the descending sun. The Hopewell Valley Watershed nature preserve trail can be accessed from the property.
COVID-19 protocols: The Coronavirus is a serious virus and we want to respect everyone's personal COVID-19 boundaries and keep our broader community safe, including our more vulnerable family and friends. In this regard, we ask that everyone arrives to this event with a mask on.
Our warm-up will be led by Megan Kelley. We experience the amazing hypnotic vocals of the wonderful vocal artist Joy Okoye taking us to other planes of existence during the Sound Journey - all inside the barn with the remarkable acoustics - headphones off. Ecstatic Dance Jersey always concludes with The Sharing Circle: We See You. We Hear You. We Love You.
