The Gala
Join us for a night of swanky celebration to honor our beloved Earthdance community and raise funds for its growth. This holiday season, let’s show some love to the space that nurtures connection, exploration, healing, and creativity.
Funds raised will focus on improving housing options for our work exchangers, staff and workshop participants by building a large yurt, revamping our dorms, and building simple A-frame cabins.
You will get to enjoy the silent auction, a decadent multi-course meal created by chefs extraordinaire Captain Kale and Falcon, group singing and blessing of our shared feast, piano serenades, photo options, awards and of course DANCING! It will be an evening that promises a full heart and belly. Dress to impress, and let’s end the year with community, charm, and goodwill!
