Details

Join our local community of women in a transformative dance ceremony, led by Heather Munro Pierce, to honor the changing seasons.

Embrace the Dance of Dark & Light:
This is a multidimensional time dedicated to celebrating completion of the harvest, honoring the beloved dead, and the Celtic New Year, when the veil between the worlds is considered to be at its thinnest. It is a potent time to play with the dance of dark and light in our lives.

Day of the Dead invites us to honor ancestors and loved ones who have passed. Family, friends, teachers, beloved pets! Bring photos, flowers or offerings for the altar!

Samhain ("sah-win") is a traditional Celtic celebration at the mid-point between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice and marks the beginning of the darkest quarter of the year. It's a powerful time to connect with nature's rhythms and explore the interplay of light and shadow in our lives.

  • A sacred space to move, heal, and celebrate
  • Guided journey through music and movement
