This coming Friday, give in to your dance under the light of the waxing full moon, which, eclipsed by the Earth, will appear as the Blood Moon days later. The September and October full moons are bookends for Mabon, the autumnal equinox, on Sept. 22.
In this meditation through conscious movement, there are no dance steps to follow or expectations to dance with others. You feel what you need to, take time to draw or stretch... rest or amp it up at any time throughout the dance. Bring your beautiful self, just as you are.
Doors open at 6:45PM
Opening Circle begins at 7:00PM
We ask everyone to please sign in at the door so that we can keep you in the loop about dance related offerings. After signing in, get settled and join the dance floor for a period of grounding and invitational "warming up" movement.
At the opening circle, facilitators of the Ecstatic Dance Collective will say a few words about the space and intention of the dance. After our 1.5 hour of meditative movement/ecstatic dancing, we will circle up for a bit to briefly (and optionally) share our experience before heading out into the world to share our love and good vibes.
WHAT TO BRING

* {According to Center for Native American Studies, cited by Live Science, other names for September's full moon include the Wine Moon, the Song Moon and the Barley Moon, while Anishinaabeg people call the September moon "Wabaabagaa Giizis," which means the "Changing Leaves Moon."} The September moon is called the Harvest Moon when it falls closest to the autumnal equinox.
