Eros in Motion – A Sensory Journey Through Landscape
Calling all performers and creators, to build site-specific installations in forest, water, and open field. Not just structures, but physical invitations: bodies will build, lift, crawl, balance – the installation will remember those gestures. Later, the public will walk through and re-experience those very movements.

Eros in Motion – Opening Performance
OPENING PERFORMANCE
Friday, August 8, from 6–7:30 PM (doors at 5)
Join us for a multimedia dance performance unfolding through the stunning natural surroundings of WildHeart. Expect an embodied experience shaped by the queer force of eros: creation, connection, and curiosity. Eros here is not about sex, but about the drive to create, connect, and feel. It’s the energy that pulls us toward another body, a tree, a thought. It is soft, curious, powerful – never aggressive. It is what moves us. -
Eros in Motion – Afternoon Queer Party
EROS IN MOTION AFTERNOON QUEER PARTY
Saturday, August 9, from 2:30–6:30 PM
Saturday afternoon we shift into party mode. Expect music, open installations, spontaneous performances, and the joy of moving together. Bring a swimsuit and towel – water is part of the experience! Let’s celebrate eros not as spectacle but as energy: playful, sensual, communal. Come feel it for yourself. -
Clown & Voice Retreat
The Clown and Voice Retreat is a 4 day heart-first, deep dive into serious play! Songs, movement, games, improvisation, creative exploration, and much more will fill our days as we explore the ridiculous and wondrous world of the clown, and our capacity for play and resonance through the voice. Wholesome meals, outdoor nature walks, swimming, collective dinners and singing ‘round the campfire make up this restorative and connected weekend of FUN!

Authentic Movement
Authentic Movement is a contemplative dance practice where a mover explores the unconscious mind through self-directed, expressive movement while being witnessed with compassion and non-judgment. This relational practice of “seeing and being seen” fosters trust, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to one’s inner experience.

The Moonstone Covenant – a book launch
This celebration of Jill Hammer’s new fantasy novel The Moonstone Covenant will go way beyond Q and A! At this mini-retreat, we’ll start with meditation by the lake using themes from the book, we’ll also encounter movement artists helping us to embody the energy of the different characters, and we’ll spend some time immersed in nature, at the edges between land and water–where much of the novel takes place. Then we’ll go inside for a reading, an interview with the author, and a chance for the audience to ask questions.

The Body as Threshold: A Practice of Return and Departure
In this movement workshop, Butoh artist and choreographer Meshi Chavez guides participants in exploring the body as a threshold—where what is known meets what is waiting to emerge. Through guided improvisation, structure, and presence, we explore how form and constraint can unlock freedom and creative discovery. Featuring live music by composer Lisa DeGrace, this practice supports deep presence, personal exploration, and choreographic inquiry. No experience required—just a willingness to begin.

Sonic Immersion with Timothy Hill
This sonic immersion will be a soulful, intimate journey with our most primal and organic musical instrument, the human voice. As a pioneer in the art of harmonic singing (aka: overtone, or throat, singing) and a lifelong student of Hindustani vocal music (raga) as well as being a composer in his own right, Timothy has gone deeply into the interior frontiers of expression. He will accompany himself on tanpura, acoustic guitar, and lyre. To conclude, Timothy will offer a song for two to bring our expansive meditative state into a renewed, grounded awareness.
