PSYKHE'S CAVE: Dance with Art and Myth

The term psykhe meant soul, mind, spirit, or "breath of life" in ancient Greek. The myth of Psykhe personifies the journey of the soul as a woman who must travel into the depths of an underworld cave to reunite with her love, Eros.

Psykhe’s Cave is an invitation to journey within, to reconnect with what gives you breath and life. We will encounter art in a slower, more embodied way through a curated integration of the visual, sonic, and somatic as we dance to a DJ'd set. Together, we will co-create a space that nourishes the soul, honors the body, and invites your joy.

Come, journey with us!
