Dance Wave presents:DANCE OF THE RETURNING LIGHT – A WINTER SOLSTICE GATHERING
On Saturday 20 June as we continue our descent into the darker months, we reach the shortest day and longest night of the year – Yule, or the Winter Solstice – after which the days start getting longer and we begin our return to the light. This gathering invites all to bring the light of awareness to this period of darkness after Samhain and its seasonal wisdom of deep introspection. We will dance with these gifts from the depths and bring a spark of life to the dark, in community and co-creation.
Early bird tickets to this sacred offering are available now at a limited quantity. Stay tuned for the full lineup drop of talented facilitators, artists and musicians soon, and join us for an evening of dance, community and intention.

--------
This sacred gathering is held on the stolen land of the sovereign Wurundjeri people. Dance Wave recognise that we have benefited from colonialism to the detriment of First Nations people, and acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the wisdom-keepers of the waters, trees, lands and animals, and it is our intention with this acknowledgement to help heal the connection between all beings of the larger Kulin nation, activating the blackfella/whitefella dreaming that has been prophesied to bring us into balance and harmony, for the betterment of all.
