Ritual. Magic. 5Rhythms® Dance

Join Abby and Sara for a weekend steeped in ritual and movement. We will open our hearts, steep in ceremony and magic, take in the sweet medicine of Cacao and marigolds, and drop deep into our bones, invoking the remembrance of our roots. We will move our bodies, and spirits, dancing the 5Rhtyhms® rippling rich medicine backward, forward, and everywhere in between.

Friday, November 8th from 6 pm - 9 pm, and Saturday the 9th from 10 am -5:30 (ish) pm

(Registration includes free entry to community Sweat Your Prayers dance Sunday morning from 10:30-noon)

Held at Rooted Center Studio in Moon Mountain Highway, Bingen, WA

Space is limited to 22 people, registration is required, $175/person

Please know, that if you want to be there, we want you there.

Everyone is encouraged to gather with Sara and Abby for dinner at Pixan in White Salmon on Saturday evening after we close! Society Hotel is also a few blocks away from the studio and has a range of accommodation options, a cedar sauna, and a salt water soaking tub for those traveling from afar.

Nothing less. A dance."
