Freestyle Friday, aka Barefoot Boogie, is a freestyle dance jam. There’s no instruction; do your own dance to a wide range of music played by our DJ — world, funk, blues, pop, oldies, electronica, and more. Dance by yourself or with others — it’s up to you. No smoking, no drinking, no attitudes, just friendly people who love to dance. Attire is casual, and most people are barefoot, but dance shoes are allowed. We strive to be a scent-free space for those of us who are “scents-itive.”
Conscious Dance
The Rising Cobra: Embodying Sekhmet’s Creative Fire
In the ancient Egyptian tradition, the Iaret—the rising cobra—was the symbol of creative fire and the inner spark that awakens the whole body. In this guided ritual movement, we explore the subtle undulation, pulse of erotic vitality, and the power that rises toward clarity and connection.
We begin with an introduction to Sekhmet and the symbols found on Her ancient statues. Through movement prompts and guided somatic imagery, we explore the cobra’s energy through the body, focused on the creative impulse and pleasure transformed from personal expression into a sacred offering to the Divine.
Whispers of the Woods: A Journey of Nature, Dance, and Creative Awakening
Reconnect with your wild essence among the trees. This sensual nature-bathing experience is designed to awaken your “Creative Spirit.” We’ll gather in a lush clearing by a stream to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and feminine essence. Through free-flowing dance and nature-inspired writing, you’ll shed the noise of the city and reclaim your natural aliveness.
This is a gentle, low-impact journey focused on “being” rather than hiking. Come move with the trees and let the forest speak through your pen.
