FULL MOON EMBODIED

DANCE TEMPLE

CEREMONIAL, SOMATIC, EXPERIENTIAL, EXPLORATORY, EXPRESSIVE

This offering brings together many of my loves - intentional community, expressive arts, music, dancing and ceremony.

This counterpoint to the New Moon in the lunar cycle invites full expression, celebration, and letting go. I know of no better way to do this than in our primary, primal language of movement and sound.

Each ceremony opens with a setting of the container, followed by a guided somatic practice offering to invite dropping out of our minds and into movement and embodied experience. This flows into a free movement, ecstatic, expressive journey. Finally, we rest in integration and join in circle for a closing.

The musical genre of each month varies. In choosing the music, I let my mood be inspired by the archetype of the zodiac where the full moon resides each month (for example, fiery and adventurous Sagittarius has a very different vibe from earthy and practical Virgo).

You’re invited to explore your inner world through each archetype as you invite the energy of the moon move through your body, flow through your movements and guide your expression.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE *** and essential community agreement

This is NOT A SINGLES EVENT.

This temple is intended as a trauma-informed ceremony for personal growth, community connection and wellness. If you are looking for a place to watch, not participate, or to seek out romantic or sexual partnership, this is not the right event for you.

PHYSICAL CONTACT is not welcome unless you know the other person and CONSENT is GIVEN IN ADVANCE. When consent is given, it can be withdrawn at any time and must be respected. “No’s” will be supported and celebrated in this space.

Those who do not respect these community guidelines will be asked to leave and banned from future entry.

Wendy’s offerings are a delight. The sessions reinvigorate me and enable me to let go of whatever isn’t serving me. Plus, they are a lot of fun!
