“In a cool solitude of trees Where leaves and birds a music spin, Mind that was weary is at ease, New rhythms in the soul begin.” ~ W.K. Seymour Dive into our last Boston area I-Opener before we're off on summertime adventures... returning again in the fall to celebrate the harvest dance. We'll be inviting the rhythms of the warmer weather festival season to raise our collective vibration and get us connected to our inner cadence. Center, connect, let go, and let the beats move you!! 10am Arrival 10:15 Opening circle 10:20 Guided Movement Warm up 10:40 DJ'd Ecstatic Dance 12:20 Closing circle You may participate in the dance or just enjoy witnessing. There’s interactive art, space for prayer or meditation, a zone for flow toys, and a kids corner with family actives. All are welcome! We dance barefoot, though non-street shoes may be worn for health reasons. We consider the dance floor to be a sacred uplifted space and request conversation be taken outside to honor dance and respect those engaged in the dance journey. Please review the safety and respect guidelines posted at the door and any concerns at any time may be addressed with an available Space Holder. Honor each other, honor the space, and honor our hearts with dance! ~ LOCATION ~ The Arms for the Armory 191 Highland Ave. Somerville, MA The Somerville Armory seeks to galvanize the creative spirit by providing a space where working artists and the community can come together.
