Local Programs

Earthdance is dedicated to fostering connections with our surrounding communities.

Sustainability Sundays is a new series of free seasonal events that invite people to gather for a day of collective visioning and skill shares around the topic of sustainable communities.  Our CI and Music & Movement Jams bring many new and long-time community members to Earthdance on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month.  The Julius Ford/Harriet Tubman Healthy Living Community is a year-round initiative that creates opportunities for an intergenerational collective of educators, activists, artists, community builders, to work together with underserved youth toward critical thinking, healthy living and co-creating the communities we want to live in.

If you are interested in teaching an ongoing class at Earthdance contact sarah [at] earthdance [dot] net.
