This is a time of year for giving and receiving treats, for delighting in abundance, for appreciating the warmth of family & community.
Many of you have experienced the nurturance and growth that comes from spending time at Earthdance. This place is a wellspring for meeting some of our deepest human needs. We are so happy to be providing this space of connection, exploration, healing and creativity. And it takes all of us in the Earthdance community to keep the wellspring flowing!
You are invited to join us for a night of swanky celebration, as we gather to honor this beloved community and raise funds for its continual growth.
This benefit event is an opportunity to embody deep support for Earthdance (and to glam ourselves up a bit!). Falling in the midst of the holiday season, let’s end the year by giving this community some love!
Our evening program will connect us deeply to our personal and collective relationships with Earthdance. With a decadent three course meal and an array of facilitated group rituals, the evening promises to leave you with both a deliciously full belly and a brimming full heart.
Shine your shoes and dress to the nines! You don’t want to miss this once a year celebration of community, charm, and loving goodwill.
May we all be healthy and happy this winter season, and bask in the riches of community together!
