    The Equinoxes (there is one in the fall and one in the spring) mark the moment when the length of day and night are equal in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are potent times to connect with and honor the cycles of nature, and play with the dance of light and dark in our lives.

    and the dance of light and dark in your life.

  • 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
