As the days grow shorter and the air grows still, we’re invited to slow down, rest, listen, and honor all that this year has brought. Join us for a special Ecstatic Dance journey to welcome the energy of winter — the season of introspection, hibernation, and renewal. Through movement and music, we’ll celebrate the endings that make space for new beginnings and express gratitude for the growth and transformation this year has held. Let’s dance our thank-yous, release what we no longer need, and sink into the quiet beauty of this turning season.
Bring comfortable clothes, water, and an open heart. No dance experience needed

Perimenopause is a rollercoaster — hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, sleepless nights, and everything in between. This community group is a space to vent, commiserate, and connect with others who get it. No judgment, no shame — just real talk, shared experiences, and the reassurance that you’re not alone. Join us for a potluck-style small bites brunch (bring something to share if you’d like!) Coffee and tea will be provided. Each gathering will be a mix of open conversations and practical tips to help us navigate perimenopause with more ease — and a little humor. Come as you are, bring a friend, and let’s vent, laugh, and figure this out together!
