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.

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.

Shake with Niki (in-person only)
5-6.30pm Second Sunday of every month, starting November 10th (60-75 mins)
Group Shake - A somatic movement practice during which we will shake to music or sometimes, silence. Shaking, individually but as part of a group to ground us, can be healing as it is a natural way to relieve tension. You may choose to shake standing, seated, lying down or alternating between those depending on what your body needs in the moment. You can choose your own intensity, when to stop or when to keep going as you listen to your own body. While it is important to keep ourselves open to what, if anything, may arise emotionally, please only engage to the degree that you can still care for yourself. This is not a therapeutic space. The practice will start with a demonstration and it will end in silence. Dress comfortably and stay hydrated!
$10-$25 (with Sonic Immersion $8-20 - Come just for the Shake, or stay on for the Sonic Immersion right after)
A multi-instrumental Sound Bath by Sasha Bogdanowitsch to create an ever-evolving sonic tapestry that will immerse attendees in resonance and overtones; aiding all in their own sonic journey, relaxation, stress reduction and/ or meditation.

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.
