In these darkening Autumn days, where the veil between the realms of the Living and the Ancestors is thinnest, Earthdance invites you to come celebrate Dia De Los Muertos/Day Of The Dead with a feast, fire, stories, and songs. You’re invited to bring food to share; offerings, photos, letters and keep-sakes for the communal Ofrenda, and instruments and songs to share round the bonfire (weather allowing). 

Suggested donation of $10.

When was the last time you transformed?  When was the last time you emerged as a Queen, or sat as a King then danced as a Clown? Transformation heals, inspires and teaches… especially when inspired by image, movement and Masks! Akil Apollo Davis is offering a uniquely curated transformational mask workshop weekend: ¨Archetypes & the Metamorphosis-Masquerade.¨

Akil’s 15 years of experience in mask work and his masks will guide you into the exploration of your innate ability to transform within the work of archetypes. They will show you how these archetypes somatically live in your body, what gifts they offer you and how knowing them better can enhance your everyday life.

This auspicious weekend takes place just after the Dia De Los Muertos/Day Of The Dead celebration! Please join us!

Earthdance is teaming up with DJ Passionflower (Andrew Mangold) of Earthshake Ecstatic Dance to host the first iteration of a regular monthly movement gathering, held every second Thursday of the month!

Intentions for the dance include: expanding the edges of self expression, catharsis, hilarity, and the erotic in ways that might traditionally be more contained in larger, less intimate groups, or in more public venues. Guests would also be welcome to make use of the wood-fired sauna ($10 donation) and cool down with a cold plunge in the quarry. This is so far an entirely experimental dance - in regards to music, space holding, collaboration and the general flow of the evening. We invite YOU to help shape the character of this new community dance offering. We will discover what unmet needs and desires of our community are ready to come to life at this unique meeting of worlds between Earthdance and Earthshake!

$10 suggested for work weekend guests

$15-20 for the dance only. See you soon! AJM / ED

In this event, you’ll work directly with JWoW. to uplevel your ability to adapt to circumstances AND approach personal and environmental safety in an inclusionary and empowering way.  

DAY 1:  Discover how to compost stressors into strengths.  This sets you up to adapt — with significantly more ease — to the flow and surprises of every aspect of our lives.  
DAY 2:  Explore where and how safety can be lost; where danger can be mitigated; and what you can do to effectively support official procedures and policies, anywhere.  
DAY 3:  Learn some effective nuts and bolts — and get access to more robust programs — that create safer containers.  Ultimately, this supports our participants in more fully easing into experiences we’re offering up.
*If you have attended a Touch & Play MA event, be sure to enjoy your Planet JWOW “Cherish Pricing” for attending this event.

More information and registration coming soon!

Death is a topic that is commonly avoided in modern society and yet this vital step in the process of life is something we all have in common. Each one of us is intimately interwoven with the presence of Death, whether it be experiencing the loss of loved ones, acknowledging beliefs, patterns and relationships that are falling away, and our own inevitable end. Join us to share our hearts through movement, music, connection and chocolate truffles, to allow space for grief, and offer homage to Death and all the lessons that come with the process. 

In this workshop participants will pair up with a few different individuals to somatically enact different prompts interwoven with Death. Pairs are encouraged to connect with one another through contact improv and a variety of interpersonal relating activities. These prompts will open us up to our own beliefs, edges and experiences around Death, creating a container for contemplative heart-opening connection. Along with the movement we will enjoy decadent herbal and (non psycho-active) medicinal mushroom infused truffles. All truffles are vegan, gluten free, soy and refined sugar free.

This is a sacred container and safe space to open ourselves up. We ask that you show up promptly 15 minutes early, reserve your spot ahead of time and inform us if you have any food allergies.

A kind of “living map,” Family Constellations is a unique, phenomenological approach that invites you to make peace with your past. It is a way of seeing and knowing your history, and discovering what belongs to you and what doesn’t. When you know what belongs to you, the burdens of the past drop away, allowing you to step into a new spaciousness and vitality.

During the workshop 1-2 people will have the opportunity to do personal work. This means that we will set up their personal family system and work on an issue that they bring to the constellation session.

Petrus would like for anyone who is doing a personal piece of work to make a gift that is meaningful and manageable, and reflects what they feel the work is worth to them. (Guideline $80-$160).
