Dear Friends, Family & Extended Community ~Come be in nature & dance with us to celebrate the abundant harvests of Lúnasa, the midway point between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox ~

🌾 The Flow 🌾
Come for early afternoon on Saturday if you'd like to spend some time in nature ~ bring some food to share in the early evening if you think you'll be hungry, potluck style ~ we'll make some food at the outdoor kitchen space in the early evening around 6pm or so ~
We'll move inside around 8pm and have some gentle music playing ~ at that time we'll stretch out, relax and prep for the dance ~ we'll drop into silence by 8:30pm and make our movements meditative ~ around 9pm we'll launch into our dance journey, which will be about 2hrs long ~ likely finishing up that portion by 11pm or so ~
We'll finish our ecstatic dance journey with a closing circle and open up the space for more relaxed hanging out, and hopefully more dance if the spirit should move us ~
We have intention to play music into the night still, with Jeff, Tegan, Paz, and Julien all playing in turn ~ rolling from deep dubstep, to midtempo folkoric electronic, right through uplifted tech-house ~ we'll likely curtail the festivities around 3 or 4am and take rest at that time ~ if you'd like to rest earlier, you can find camping spots further from the house for some more
🌾 Accommodation 🌾
If you do want to stay overnight you can bring a tent or stay around in the loft space where the music is ~ there's lots of cushions and mats, sorta collective crash pad style ~ and again, there will be music playing fairly loud for a good portion of the night ~ if you feel like an adventure into the night, please stick around for follow up late night dances and whatever other adventures ~
🌾 Contribution 🌾
We'll accept cash at the door, or you can buy a ticket online in advance ~ the cost is $50 per person for the Saturday and $100 for Saturday & Sunday ~ if you just want to come for the dance portion and you're finding that too much to pay, then just write us a message and we'll figure something out ~
Food is potluck style ~ if you come just for Saturday and plan to be there for dinner, please bring a prepared meal to share ~ if you're planning to stay for the entire weekend then we ask that you bring about $50 of food to share, and help with meal prep at some point ~

🌾 Music 🌾
The bulk of our journey will be free-form dance expression and moving meditation, guided by rich and soulful, tastefully bass-augmented music from around the world, moving gently from quiet beginnings through a raucous and ecstatic culmination, and back to stillness. Guaranteed to gather all the goodness. We've put the utmost care into selecting the best tracks to be played on the most robust sound system.
