# Event Details - **Event Name**: Alchemy Dec 3 ~ Shine Your Light ~ With Arctic Fox - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Welcome back for another ecstatic dance journey! This week we welcome Artic Fox aka Tove to guide our dance journey. The theme is: Shine Your Light – In the Heart of Darkness As we move through the darkest stretch of the year, I find myself returning to this: the seed of light is rooted in the dark. This theme is a recognition of that. As we move through life, we sometimes tuck ourselves into shadowy corners – out of habit, protection, old stories, or the simple fear of being “too much.” There is no wrongdoing in this; it happens. This theme is an invitation to explore the layers – to feel what it is to dance in the shadows versus dancing in the wide open. To move with the dark not as something to avoid, but as fertile ground that shapes us. To dance with the light knowing that our luminosity is strengthened and clarified – not obscured – by the shadows we walk through. How do we trust the seed of light that we are when we are dancing in the dark? How do we hold the spark that glows always amidst the heaviness? How do we stay faithful to our radiance when the path feels unclear or uncomfortable? And what happens when we stop trying to escape the dark, and instead let it teach us how to shine? This theme of shining our light is directly interwoven with the fact that I am playing at Alchemy this Wednesday. This set – this showing up in this way – is part of my own emergence, my ongoing choice to explore the sticky spots, to stop dimming, and to let my bright, wild colors be seen. This theme is a love letter to all of that. And so, I invite you to join me. Bring your wings, your brilliance, your soft glow and/or your fierce flame. Bring your shadow too – the tender places and the parts that feel harder to hold. All of you is welcome. Let’s dance ourselves into the center and the outskirts of who we are – light woven through darkness, darkness holding light – under the November sky. Dance gives us a way to study ourselves – not through thought, but through movement. This is one of my favorite Swedish poems, written by Erik Blomberg in 1920: Do not Fear the Darkness ¤ Do not fear the darkness 'cause the light rests therein We never see the stars where no darkness exists within Inside the light ring of iris you carry a dark pupil, 'cause dark is everything whereto the light with awe and longing will Do not fear the darkness 'cause the light rests therein Do not fear the darkness which the heart of light is carrying Erik Blomberg (ur Jorden 1920) More on Arctic Fox ? Guided by a deep love for music and dance, and inspired by the mystery and magic of life, Arctic Fox weaves soulful explorations of rhythm and genres – creating spaces for movement, connection, and attunement. With reverence for movement as medicine, she holds music as a living space where the human and the divine meet. Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/tovesofia Doors open at 645pm, gentle music will be playing and participants are asked to enter in silence and begin stretching, breathing and connecting with your body, the music and the space. Please arrive before 7pm so we can begin as a group. There will be a gentle informal opening while the music continues. Music will follow an ecstatic dance arc from a gentle begining, gradually building to a crescendo and then back down into a soft musical landing with space for reflection. Closing circle at 830pm. Cost: $20-25 sliding scale No one turned away for lack of funds COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS WITHIN THE SPACE: *No talking on the dancefloor (This is a dance focused space) *No outdoor shoes on the dancefloor *No cell phones, pictures or videos *Must be 18 or older to attend CONSENT: We recognize that touch and physical proximity can mean different things to different people. In this space we practice self-awareness of our own bodies, and the ways in which we engage with the moving bodies of others. We define consent as freely given, enthusiastic agreement for mutual participation. WHEN APPROACHING OTHERS: *Make no assumptions! *Look for a yes, look for eye contact *Respect any no (including when someone is ignoring you or moves away from you) *Respect a Solo Dancer’s right to their space. * Do not engage in physical touch without clear consent. (By extending your hand to another dancer it signals you would like to connect in a physical dance, if they put their hand into yours that signals consent for a physical dance) Alchemy: The Valley’s evening ecstatic dance sanctuary. A place to drop into the wisdom of our bodies, guided by the rhythms and beats, to alchemize our emotional days, to move with our emotions, and to arrive at mental calmness and clarity. A place to express our full soulful selves in safety and respect. A place to explore and journey within yourself. A space for healing on the individual level, as well as on the collective level. When a golden idea is ready to come to fruition, it often springs up like a field of beautiful wildflowers. Suddenly it is scattered in many hearts at the same time, ready to be made manifest in the world. This is how Alchemy arose. Six local DJs, three women and three men, each imagining a weekly candlelit evening of ecstatic dance for adults. Alchemy: A magical process of transformation. Immerse yourself in this Ecstatic Dance Sanctuary. Join us Wednesday evenings, 7-8:30pm at the Fallen Alders. Six DJs rotating weekly to offer diversity and balance.
