About this Event
I’m so excited to be back with you! This will be my first time facilitating Dance Temple in the Comox Valley in 2026, and I’ve been missing you. This community holds something special, and I’m grateful for the chance to step back into the space and guide our collective journey.
Whole Hearted:
This week, we dance with our hearts wide open. Not just for the romance of the season, but for the deeper love that lives underneath it all. The love that shows up in presence, in courage, in community.
Wholehearted is an invitation to move without holding back. To bring your full self: joy, sorrow, sweetness, fire. To let it breathe on the dance floor. To remember that love isn’t just something we give or get, it’s something we are when we’re real, present, and moving together.
Come sweat, connect, release, and radiate. You don’t need a partner, you are the dance. Let’s move, wholeheartedly.

*Barefoot preferred.
*No cellphones
*No instruments

ON BOUNDARIES & TOUCH:
We recognise that touch and physical proximity can mean different things to different people. In this space we practice self-awareness of our own bodies, and the ways in which we engage with the moving bodies of others. We define consent as freely given, enthusiastic agreement for mutual participation.
WHEN APPROACHING OTHERS:
Make no assumptions!
Look for a yes, look for eye contact
Respect any no (including when someone is ignoring you or moves away from you.) Respect a Solo Dancer’s right to their space. Do not engage in physical touch without clear consent.
This is a transformational space for dance, healing, prayer, laughter, joy, sadness and everything in between.
ALL AGES, ALL GENDER IDENTITIES & EXPRESSIONS, ALL BODIES WELCOME!
