This Weds @ The Riverside!! It's a New Year!!We Welcome You to move what needs to and wants to move with community through the guidance of Ahva Lenay!!
In the luminous tapestry of collective transformation, Ahva Lenay emerges as a radiant wisdom keeper, a ceremonial artist whose life's work bridges worlds and awakens dormant potential. With over three decades of guiding ecstatic dance through Rhythm Sanctuary, she has woven sacred movement into a profound art of liberation, inviting souls to dance their most authentic truth.
A world bridger par excellence, Ahva has spent years cultivating healing spaces that honor the intricate web of life. From co-creating the transformative Wisdom Village at Arise Festival to her deep practice as a Unitive Justice facilitator, she moves with a rare combination of fierce compassion and joyous spirit. Her work is an invitation—a gentle yet powerful call to unlock the medicine each of us carries, to step into our most potent and purposeful selves.
Whether working one-on-one or within community circles, Ahva holds space with an extraordinary blend of wisdom, love, and evolutionary insight. She sees beyond the surface, recognizing the unique gifts waiting to be activated in each individual and in our collective human journey. Her presence is a blessing—a living transmission of Earth's healing potential, inviting us to remember our interconnectedness and our capacity for profound personal and planetary transformation.
It is with tremendous reverence and excitement that we welcome Ahva Lenay, a beloved elder whose creative vibrations will surely illuminate and inspire our shared sacred space.

Beautiful Movement Community!
Call to Action!!
The Ministry of Movement invites you to join us in service to our community!
Every week Justin and I have many responsibilities that we usually split up yet we would love support from those who feel inspired and compelled to help out!!
If you are interested, we have many options for how you can show up on a weekly basis.This however, does not mean you “have to” commit to every week, just when you feel inspired to do so.
These roles are essential to setting and juicing the space up with great vibes as we welcome our community into their practice!! Much like Rhythm Sanctuary, we will have many people involved in all areas of the ministry giving everyone a chance to rotate in and out as you all feel called while being in communication with me (Logan) to sign up for the roles each week. This model will also give everyone the opportunity to be able to just show up for their dance practice as well.
As most may know, we operate on a contribution/donation/tithing model and request that these tithes match the value that you feel you get by attending/experiencing our services. If the value/energy requested of this/these roles equals the value you would have tithed upon regular entry, Awemazing!! If not, we invite you to meet by tithing more. If you feel the value is not equal within the sliding scale range, Kindly Request that we meet you in that value! If this is confusing,
Let’s talk!!Here are the Essential Roles that we would Love Support with Every Week!!All Key aspects and questions of each role will be gone over in a live training session at the next Service after you claim the spot.Arrival time is 5:00 pm while we are training people and 5:30 after people are trained
