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
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.

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.
