Gather in the woods around a sacred circle to connect with Spirit, our community and the land. We’ll bond through the elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—as guideposts to how we inspire hope and shine light on our life journeys. Through drumming, ritual, and story, we’ll honor and explore how we nurture ourselves and each other. We’ll craft intentions and release what no longer serves us while invoking energies to help create the lives we desire.

1969 was the year of Stonewall. It was a year of revelation, revolution and hope. It was also a year of great dance music. Scour your local thrift shop for outfits. Think Madmen and Hippies, Rayon and big prints. Psychedelic patterns and bell bottoms. Soupy Sales and Joanne Worley.
