VAGUS SPRING: Full Moon Circle, Ecstatic Dance &Sound-bath w Acupuncture

Pause, relax, open, release, & receive. Howling at the moon is welcome too! We can’t wait to share this with you. Full moons are great times to seek guidance, clarity, & illumination and a time to release stagnant energy, sweep out (or "dance out") the old, and set intentions for the coming cycle. Come nourish yourself and co-create some magic with like-minded souls.

Hope you’ll join us Friday April 26, 6:15-8:45pm, in the round, skylit sanctuary at 111 Superior St. in James Bay.

? We'll gather in circle, practice a parasympathetic nervous system strategy, then share a healing & releasing ecstatic dance wave, ending in an hour-long sound bath with acupuncture. You can listen on the indoor speaker system or wear our silent disco headsets and control your own volume (with the added option of being able to dance indoors in the sanctuary & outdoors at Fisherman's Wharf!)
