HEARTH:
Welcome to a cozy space. We all need it. The world is wild and tumultuous... Summer was high energy... The nights grow cool, and now it is time to wind down. Our dances are curated to reflect the energy of the seasons. Ww enjoy wild fiery beats in high summer, and now, the dance shifts to more nourishing, rejuvenating music, and a more comfy soft cushy environment to land in...
Last November, we play-tested "November Nervous System Night". We will continue the exploration of a "cozy rejuvenating ecstatic dance" with an extra cozy vibe to rest your weary bones and well-worn heart. Extra cuddle zones, soulful music, and extra herbal teas, potions, reishi and tulsi will be supplied by Earthshake for all.
HARVEST:
Fall is the time of Harvests: Ripe apples from our orchards, pumpkins from the garden, and the inner fruit of our growth, learning and lessons.
Help us build a buffet of HARVESTS to share with the community.
Every month, we feature an "abundance table" where guests are encouraged to bring any overflow in their life to share. Through the year, we receive veggies, extra baked goods, herbal treats, fresh fruit, and even clothes or materials ready to move on to new homes.
This month, our abundance table takes center stage!
What are you most proud to share from your summer?
Did you grow buckets of chestnuts? Did you press gallons of cider? Did you give birth to a new song? Did you harvest poetry from the forests?
We will transform the lobby into a space to showcase everyones HARVESTS!

RESPECT / SAFETY:
As a standard in all ecstatic dances, maintaining a high level of safety, respect and consent is crucial, for everyone involved. Before entering the dance space, you must agree to only enter into anyone else's close physical space, or make physical contact, after clearly asking for consent.
Please treat the studio like a temple, because it is one, and treat yourself, and every other person in the space with respect and grace.
Thank you! We are so excited to set up a dance space for you all two weeks in a row! We will see your pretty faces soon, and don't forget to come to our bonus HALLOWEEN ecstatic dance, Fifth Friday, outer 31st, studio 444
