Sunset 5Rhythms dance session out under wide open skies, moving with wild nature...
About this Event

Join us for a series of Friday night Sunset Sessions- dancing out in the trees, surrounded by wild flowers within a few hundred feet of the ocean's edge.

This session will be a gently facilitated mindful movement class.We will dance outdoors in a contained spot amongst the trees at the very back of Lighthouse Fields park area using silent disco headsets- getting embodied on earth, using movement and music to call us present to the pleasure of being alive:)

In 5Rhythms dance there are no steps to learn, nothing to get right, just doing the dance that only you can do.It will be a designated non-verbal dance space to support us in dropping in deep (ie. it is NOT a “hang-out and picnic and chat and have a few beers while I boogie” type of headset event! You will be invited into presence, into practice, into the preciousness of dancing out under wide open skies

The dates are:

Friday May 29th 7-830

Friday June 12th 7-830

Friday July 17th 7-830


'And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair'- Khalil Gibran


So come be with us for this sunset 5Rhythms dance session out under wide open skies, as the sun goes down over the ocean.


530-7pm. $20 cash or venmo onto door.


Locaton: We will be located on the side of the main huge field -furthest from the ocean- hidden in the trees near where Liberty Street meets Peyton Ave. We will be dancing throughout at the back of the the main field -( ie NOT on the very busy little lawn right by the lighthouse- it is way too busy down there to meet and dance deep down there..)
