About this Event
The Groove-Train continues! After our biggest summer of outdoor events, we are excited to bring the groove train inside for one of our most anticipated events of the year: our 8th Annual Halloween Costume Party!
What an unforgettable summer it has been, and as the seasons shift, we are ready to take our sacred, high-vibe container indoors to celebrate our milestone 8th annual Halloween gathering together.
This is more than just a costume party. We are merging the sacredness of Samhain—the ancient festival honoring the deep cycle of life and death—with a vibrant celebration of movement at a time when the veil between our world and the spirit world is at its thinnest. We will be dancing from Halloween's Eve right into Halloween itself, tuning into the ancestral energies all around us, and concluding our journey with a mystical, sacred sound bath to honor the ancestors.
Get ready for an immersive night of ecstatic dance, rich ceremonial cacao, and deep community connection. Complete with sacred altars, an elixir bar, special treats, and epic costume contests, this is a judgment-free, alcohol-free space designed for presence, connection, and joy. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or stepping into our circle for the first time, Chocolate Groove is your playground for celebration, spooky self-expression, and free movement.
