Cacao Circle
Join us for an evening of community as we journey through reflective pause awakening to the gift of Cacao.
This intimate gathering is guided by the healing wisdom of Mother Cacao. Together, we will create a sacred space to weave Spirit into Community. Each month we gather we will sink our roots into the nourishing wisdom of a chosen teaching. On months when we accompany the New or Full Moon, we will honor the creative essence within.
You are invited to bring with you:
a cacao mug of your choice (compostable cups will be available if you do not have a mug to bring)
yoga mat or blanket / meditation cushion or pillow
journal & writing tool
an offering for our Nature Altar as a gift of gratitude for Cacao
Spirit Drum Circle
Emerging Presence
Listening closely to the conversation between heartbeat and horizon.
Join Anaiya and community for an evening of rhythmic drumming, connection, and intention setting designed to attune your Spirit tempo to that of the Universe.
As spring ripens toward summer and the days stretch long and golden, we gather in circle to honor the rhythms of the Earth in her season of growth. The soil is warm. The air is alive. The pulse of life is steady and rising.
May's drum circle is an invitation to align with that living rhythm, the same cadence that moves sap through the trees, wind through the tall grasses, and breath through our bodies.
Women's Full Moon Circle
There are moments when the body remembers what the mind has long carried.
Moments when the ancestral waters within us ask to be cleared, renewed, and returned to their natural rhythm.
Under the light of the full moon, we gather as women, to gently release what has become heavy, to listen for what is true,
and to return to the quiet wisdom that lives within.
This is a space of remembering. Of reconnecting with the living rhythms of the Earth, the cycles of Nature, and the deep knowing that flows beneath it all.
Through stillness, reflection, and shared presence, we are invited to release into this time of authentic Being to gently return to all that is real…at that is true.

Foyer & Friendship Hall
There is a sacred fullness to this season. An aliveness that is expansive, yet deeply immersive.
Light pours like honey over the lands, fortifying the Earth with the rich presence of vitality. The same vitality that we inspire to express as we open our hearts to the sacred gift of cacao and guide our bodies through the ancient art of expressive dance…moving in tempo along the pulse of everything.
Our Journey
We begin with cacao*, received as a plant ally, an offering of the Earth that invites us into presence, softens the heart, and attunes us to the subtle rhythms within.
From this place of connection, we enter into organic expressive movement as an expression of reverent celebration for all that is Alive within and around us this season.
Gentle Invitations:
Wear clothing that is breathable and comfortable to move in
Consider shoes that are supportive. If you prefer to dance barefoot, that is welcome.
Consider a mat, towel, or blanket to create your space on the Earth.
Mug for cacao* (some will be provided)
You are welcome to bring streamers, hula hoops, or other accessories that compliment your dance
*For those who need an alternative to cacao, herbal green tea will be provided for you.
If you have never been to ecstatic dance before, please know that there is no “technique”, right or wrong way of doing things. The music moves along an arc from slow to upbeat tempo, encouraging an unfolding of movement within and around.
This is a trauma sensitive gathering, thus touch is not permitted during dance. All who attend are asked to respect the space of others.
Fall Equinox Gathering
There is a quiet moment in the season when something within begins to shift. When transformation…alchemy is asking to be witnessed.
This season gives us quiet permission to answer this call. The light softens. The air cools. The Earth tilts.
And the body naturally turns inward, toward warmth, truth, and what feels most real.
Together, we gather at this threshold, around the steady presence of fire, to be in relationship with change as it moves around us…through us.
This is a ceremony of transformation.

Spring Equinox Gathering
There comes a moment in the turning of the seasons when balance returns. When winter stillness exhales, and life begins to move from the center outward, breathing vitality back into the living world.
The Spring Equinox serves as a quiet threshold for this sacred dance of equilibrium to emerge.
When balance renews in the outer world it offers us an opportunity to reflect on our inner landscape, serving as an invitation for the matter body, mind, and spirit to gently attune to the unfolding season within and around. This moment offers a conscious reminder that our entire Being stirs, transforms, adapts, and aligns for new growth that creates space for new possibilities to emerge.
This gathering honors that sacred stirring.
Our Gatherings
🌿
Each gathering is an invitation into presence. Our shared space is one that empowers choice, honors body autonomy, and inspires intuitive direction.
Together, we honor and celebrate the unique expression of one another. We attune to the respectful rhythms of deep listening, silent witnessing, and holding compassionate space for authentic presence.
Our space is co-created. Though gentle guidance is present, there is no one “leader” or “expert”. Nothing is given to you; rather, you are awakening what is already within and ready to be expressed.
We often begin by arriving together, gently settling into the body, the breath, and the shared container around us. From there, the experience unfolds in a natural rhythm, guided with care and openness.
Our time may include moments of stillness, quiet reflection, and shared connection. At times we create with the Earth, weaving mandalas, working with natural elements, or engaging in simple ritual that honors the energy of the moment.
You are invited to move as your body requests, to rest when needed, and to engage in a way that feels true for you.
Music may be present as a supportive undercurrent, gentle, spacious, and often without lyrics, offering a stream of sound that allows your own inner experience to flow.
No prior experience is needed.
Only a willingness to arrive.
