Full STURGEON MOON Circle & Beach-dance

Join the magic as we dance ‘round the fire pot by the sea, with eagles flying overhead and curious seals swimming close to shore. Medicine!
About this Event

We've been dancing under open skies in beautiful natural settings for six years now! Come join us!

We'll gather in circle together at sunset and moonrise, grounding in the elements, feet sinking into sand and surf, co-creating community, magic, and healing, drawing on ecstatic dance traditions and earth-based ritual.

This August, as thanks to those who kindly contribute towards paying down Jewel's $8400 surgery bill, I am offering a THANK YOU PARTY on the Full STURGEON MOON, THURS AUG 27, 7:30-9pm

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Dancing under the moon at idyllic Willows Beach—there isn’t anywhere else I’d rather on a full moon night! Music is eclectic, in an ecstatic dance wave form, taking you up to release and bringing you down to connect with the quiet in you & in the land.

We begin in a circle, set intentions for the next cycle, then share a spiral dance and an ecstatic dance wave. Sometimes we are blessed to have guest vocalists or musicians at the end of the dance wave.

All welcome. All ages, genders, abilities, cultures. Let’s dance together as one.

FLOW OF EVENING:

7:30pm: Ambient music for arriving, movement warmup, & headset pick up

7:45pm: Circle & spiral dance

8pm: Ecstatic dance wave

(it's ok to come for the dancing part only if you prefer or to come for the warmup movement, sit out the circle, & join the ecstatic dance wave)

--Sunset:8:04pm; High Tide: 6:02pm; Low Tide:10:23pm; Moonrise: 7:56pm
