🍂 Dance Alchemy: Gratitude & Grit 🍂

🍂 Dance Alchemy: Gratitude & Grit 🍂

oin our beloved community as we weave conscious dance and sitting meditation together. Using Open Floor's Meditation Cycle, we gather to notice what's present and alive — then embody it in connection with Self, Other, and Spirit.

This month, we’ll explore the dance between gratitude and grit — the soft and the strong, the open heart and the steady root.
Through movement and stillness, we’ll honor the full spectrum of our human experience: the beauty that nourishes us and the challenges that refine us. Gratitude not in spite of the grit, but through it.

Whether you’re completely new to meditation and dance or a seasoned practitioner, there’s a place for you here. We’ll close the evening with delicious organic snacks, shared in community.

🗓 Friday, Nov. 21st | 7:30–9:30 PM (doors close ~7:50)
📍 Bridge Arts, 23 Maine Ave, Richmond
💸 $19–35 sliding scale | work exchange available
