Sweat Your Prayers, Friday Nov 29 (drop-in); & heads up: Solstice Celebration

“Sweat Your Prayers®” – this Friday night
November 29, 8pm-10:30pm

Ecstatic dancer

To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self.
Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release
your past. The more you dance… the more you sweat, the more you
pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.
— Gabrielle Roth

This Friday is the last of the month – so join us to ‘Sweat Your Prayers’
– A guided warm-up then a wave with no words, simply moving through the
5 Rhythms® with music as our guide.
Usual time, usual place, cafe after (details also below).

And while we have your attention…
