Imagine what would it be like to dance together
In this land of water and knowledge…
To drink deep what is undrinkable.
-Joy Harjo
Within us, there is a deep knowing—that we belong to the great web of life. We belong to a world that we have co-created over an unthinkable amount of time. Intimately as our own bodies, we are stardust, rain cloud, mountain, war, earthquake, oppression, fire, flower, rain. We belong to the big body of our earth, and we belong to each other.
In this 3-day ceremonial journey, inspired by the Deep Ecology work of Joanna Macy and John Seed, you will be invited to set aside your merely human identity for a time, to step inside the dream of tree, lizard, bird, grass. With time on the land, council, mask making, and authentic movement, we will express and witness messages received from other-than-human beings of this earth. How will these messages touch our deepest heart? How might they inform the movement of our own lives? How are they in collective service to our world?
On over 1600 acres of beautiful, private Sonoma County land, we will camp, dream, create, play, maybe cry, and certainly pray—together as women. Will you join us?
- We define “women” inclusively, inviting all those who primarily identify as female or feminine.
- Limited to 10 participants
