Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!
Are you looking for more opportunities to deepen your connections to self and others? Come drum and dance with the elements in the Great Stone Circle each month while sharing energies with the mystical, magical landscapes of Kinstone.
Join us for this monthly drum and freestyle dance experience led by Cheri Bunker, occurring on the second Friday of each month starting in June and going through October from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. No experience necessary. Everyone is welcome.
Together we will explore how the natural elements show up in our own movements. Freestyle dance and movement can unlock so much tension in the body and restore in us a sense of balance, peace and self worth. Drumming with our heartbeats has many health benefits as well!
Monthly we will drum and dance together in the Great Stone Circle. Each month we will focus on a different element. We will have a sacred space set up to hold objects representing the element for the month. Bring a stone or other object for the altar that YOU associate with the element for the month.
We will move and dance with colorful scarves and then play drums and percussion and then dance some more! Dance and move about or, if you prefer, you can sit on a chair and do movements seated if that is more comfortable for you.
Come as often as you can! Drums and scarves will be available for your use. Wear comfortable clothing.
