Whether you’re longing to meet a partner, reshape your career, take bold new steps, establish healthier routines, or simply feel more connected to yourself and your life vision, this workshop supports you in uncovering your heart-felt intentions for 2026. **What is the Creative Flow Dojo®?** * Creative Flow refers to that optimal body–mind state where clarity, ease, intuition and performance align. * The Dojo is the learning space, a dedicated container for exploration, repetition, growth and mastery. Most of us have tasted moments of “creative flow,” those sometimes rare moments when everything clicks and we feel intimately connected to the best of ourselves. This workshop explores how to enter that state consciously and with intention. And we're excited to be sharing some of the Creative Flow Dojo's unique practices with you! Throughout the playshop, you’ll learn how to unfold the inner and outer conditions that support generativity, how to shift into a positive flow state where creativity, resilience and presence come online. ENVISION is a space to pause, listen, and chart the year ahead with clarity. This workshop is an anchor point at the turning of the year: a chance to name what matters, align with your deeper intentions, and step into 2026 with more confidence, focus and energy. If you’re ready to make 2026 a year of heartfelt clarity and meaningful change, join us for ENVISION and begin shaping your next chapter with purpose.

This is a universal threshold in time, shared by cultures across the world: movement as medicine, drums as the heartbeat, rhythm as renewal, and dance as a way of remembering our inner light. This **Solstice Gathering** is designed as a dance-as-meditation journey, an opportunity to shake off the weight of the city, release tension, expand your heart, and rediscover the luminosity that sits quietly beneath the day-to-day rush. The musical vibes of the night weave **global bass, ethno-fusion, folktronica and shamanic soundscapes into an ecstatic wave** that invites dancers to uplift, release, soften, and awaken! You’ll also be welcomed into a ceremonial-grade cacao offering, with a guided meditation led by Seth, supporting you to land in your body, open the heart, and set a powerful positive intention for the season ahead. No experience is needed. Whether you’re new to Ecstatic Dance or you’re a seasoned mover, you’re welcome here.

# **Band: Firefly Trace, caller Kenny Greer** Beginner lesson at 7:30, regular dancing begins at 8:00 **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
