Calling all dancers, meditators, lovers of the culture, friends, and fam!

Our event offers participants a chance to connect deeply with themselves and others in a sober, welcoming, outdoor community environment, set against the beautiful Philadelphia skyline.
The main components of our 3-hour event include interactive drumming, facilitated movement, informal dancing, and an intention setting exercise. Vendors will be on site with food, handicrafts, and art for sale.
