Summer Solstice Dance - Roundhouse

A warm invitation to join an intimate gathering to honour the potent energy of the Summer Solstice through the transformative power of dance.

When we consciously tune into the cycles of nature, our understanding of our own cycles begin to deepen. We reflect on our personal growth and invite the light of the summer sun to illuminate the way. 

Dancing freely we open the body, heart and mind to insight and inspiration. We gather resources to strengthen us so we may embody our gifts as a healing force in the world. Deepening into a greater sense of compassionate presence with ourselves, each other, and the wider web of life, we honour the interconnectedness of all beings and extend our love to all our relations.
