    Bealtaine is our seasonal theme for this dance ritual

    It is a Celtic holiday to honor the

    fertility of the earth as the circle of life

    renews itself, celebrated around May 1st.

    Flowers abound and fire is the focusing element.

     

    It is a potent time to connect with and honor the cycles of nature, and play with the dance of light and dark in our lives.

  • What Women Are Saying

    About the Temple Dancing Experience:

     "As I danced, goddesses whispered in my ears… filling my skin with self-knowing… reminding me who I am from the outside in, and from the inside out." ~Karen

     
    "When I dance in the temple, I notice I am more embodied in my everyday - at work, at home, on the hiking trail - more likely to shake it off and out, to stretch, to walk tall, to make eye contact... it nourishes my inner life and offers a place to connect." ~Mona

     
    "I go into this inner cocoon of rhythm and I dance whatever needs to be expressed without caring about how I must look. This is how I want to show up in the world - courageously expressing what needs to be expressed without worrying about what will people think." ~Nicole
