Nestled within the green-hearted mountains of Leicester NC, women are circling together in dance ritual; to make hay while the sun shines!
Please join us for “Harvesting Abundance" A Women’s Ecstatic Dance Temple on Thursday, September 24th. A sacred space to gather, cultivate, align, savor and overflow in our innate abundance. With LIVE Music by local DJ Magdalyn, Temple adornments with Medicine Woman Monna Story, Movement and Sound Healing with Rachel Kelley.

This event is intentionally for women, to offer a space of deep embodied connection and empower them in their truest expression in the world. All levels of dance experience are warmly welcome. Please give yourself an hour to drive from downtown Asheville to the temple in Leicester. Look up the directions before you drive, as gps service can be spotty out in the mountains.

When women come together to honor all that is sacred, we reflect & remember the potential of who we truly are. May we dance in love, to inspire beauty in our lives and each other's!
