About the event
7/11: Play Day
What did you love to do before the world told you to grow up?
We are called back.
Back to the part of us that rolled down hills, made mud pies, spoke to trees, and laughed until our bellies ached. The part that didn't yet know how to be small.
Play Day is a daylong women's circle rooted in the belief that play is not a luxury. Rather, it is a necessity and medicine. It is how we heal, how we remember ourselves, how we find each other.
How about spending a full day in the spirit of play: real, unguarded, alive-in-your-body? We'll dance together, make things, get a little silly and possibly quite messy, and come home to the wild, tender, luminous women we already are. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Forces of Nature Women’s Circle is a sister gathering to dance, create, play, and return to the body, the heart, and our untamed nature. We come together to be with one another, allowing our presence to be the sweet, fierce, healing medicine we each need.
This is a space for all women. All colors, all shapes, all stories are welcomed here.
Logistics:
We ask you to arrival in the studio 5-10 minutes earlier to support the group coherence so we can start on time.
We encourage planning your time generously for the day, especially around the departure afterward. If possible, leave some empty space after our closing circle — time to connect with others or simply be in solitude and allow the medicine of the circle to integrate more fully.
Registration is required.
This is a substance-free, scent-free space. Please refrain from wearing perfumes, even the ones with essential oils.
Bring your water bottle to stay hydrated. Water/tea are available in the studio.
Pack a lunch & snacks.
