    Contemporary Chakra Dance is an immersive, ritual‑inspired movement class designed to ground the body, connect you to the land beneath you, and awaken and balance all seven chakras through contemporary dance. This practice blends intuitive movement with simple, accessible choreography that supports both energetic alignment and embodied expression. This class unfolds like a living ceremony. We’ll explore formations, group patterns, and interactive choreography that bring everyone together, creating the feeling of a shared production rather than a traditional dance class. Contemporary Chakra Dance will be shared by Tasia Mantzoros. ...

Fire is the life force of us all :: the Sun we revolve around, the hearth at the center of our homes, the lava core of our Earth, and the energy feeding all life on this planet. This being transforms and catalyzes life, story, and ritual. They are a profound spiritual teacher and source for endless lessons and growth. In this class you will learn how to build and sustain a fire from the landscape :: gathering wood, building a fire structure, and practicing both the bow drill and hand drill methods of friction fire. Through patient courtship and curiosity, we can call on the solar energy stored in our bodies and the bones of plant beings to create a flame and deepen our connection to this...

What about the space in between the mother and the crone, the space in between a woman’s reproductive years and post menopause? Dancing The In Between Womb Circle invites women to gather in a safe, facilitated container, to share, learn, grow, be inspired, empowered, honored and celebrated through the dance of perimenopause. “Dancing the in between” speaks to the journey women move through for approximately 4-10 years often beginning in our mid-40’s and moving through to our mid-50’s (age range varies, sometimes beginning earlier or ending later). “Dancing the in between” speaks to the space in between, when a woman is no longer reproductive/ child bearing and not quite an elder. “Dancing the in between” speaks to this period called perimenopause and the journey transitioning to postmenopause....

Our Face & Tongue are virtual maps of our nerve endings. Nerves express truths and what is surfacing from the inside out or got under our skin. It's our nervous system that "brings up" issues, so we can see them clearly. Our bodies are efficient communicators and alert us to our imbalances and we can also see improvements too. And, it's not even hard to figure these maps out! We have lost sight of this phenomena and we are conditioned to simple avoid what we don't want to see and then feel bad about our appearance. Symptoms can change, our tissues can change and health imbalances are designed to show themselves, to be improved. The answers are right in front of us. Just look in the mirror...

  Drop Spindle Spinning and Singing: Traditions of Wool, Rhythm & Song Enter the world of drop spindle spinning, one of the oldest women’s fiber traditions in the world. This class teaches the foundations of spinning wool by hand—drafting, twisting, and building a steady thread that carries the rhythm of generations before us. Each participant receives a traditional drop spindle and wool to practice with. As we spin, we’ll share “waulking songs” inspired by the celtic tradition of singing while they work the fiber, echoing the communal singing that once paced and softened long hours of labor. We’ll also explore a short introduction to traditional plant dyes, and how natural pigments brought life and meaning to handspun fibers. Participants leave with their spindle, their handspun yarn, and a lived experience...

Shaping Earth & Fire: Earthenware Pottery. Pottery is an ancient art, intrinsically tied to the land, inspiring our belonging to it as we shape the things we need up from the ground. For this very reason, using local clays is profoundly meaningful. It slows down our “production” mindset and allows us to tune into the impressive geological narrative we are apart of. We are the earth - shaped by our choices, becoming vessels that can hold our deepest prayers and memories. Clay is a powerful medium for intuitive exploration of the soul, because it grounds us to the material world as we face the transformative fires of life. On the first day of classes, we will meet for both morning and afternoon sessions to build and decorate wild...

My workshops are an invitation to learn the foundations of plant dye alchemy. Plant dyeing is the oldest way of capturing color on textiles and is used among many different cultures. In class, you’ll be able to witness the alchemical beauty of transforming undyed organic fibers into living color pieces. We will discuss: mordants, fibers, plants to grow, plants to identify in your back yard, sustainability, sourcing, proper disposal, water, modifiers and resists. You’ll be guided through the step by step process of composing leaves and flowers over fiber and bundling to achieve a unique printed piece. We can achieve prints that look like earthen floor camo, intentional mandalas or make hand cut shapes. All materials included. Each student will experiment and leave with their own hand...

The intention of this earth-based ritual is to align with nettle’s resilience, nourishment, and grounded strength. We will begin with a cool sip of a nettle infusion and a meditation to attune to the plant’s energetics. An organically inspired gentle yoga flow will follow incorporating movement inspired by nettle’s steadiness, boundaries, and vibrance. We will then shift into an intuitive art practice using watercolors made from a nettles infusion, translating the embodied experience of the plant onto the page. This will be a meditative and devotional act. There will be space for creative processing through free-writing and guided prompts. We will close in a collective songcircle. Participants will leave with their nettle-infused watercolor piece and a deeper connection to this ancient herbal ally. Jackie DeConti will be offering...
