Join us for an Ecstatic Dance with Attica Road Elementals as we step into the Venus Love Portal, a night of cosmic connection and embodied celebration

On February 28th, we gather beneath a rare six-planet alignment, often called the Parade of Planets—an evening infused with celestial magic, spiritual awakening, rebirth, generational shifts, and meaningful connections. This energy is said to support meeting the right people at the right time, making it a beautiful experience for both singles and couples alike.

We’ll open the evening with a heart-opening cacao ceremony led by All Love Wellness, inviting us to soften into the heart space and receive exactly what is needed—opening to limitless possibilities and new opportunities.

From there, we’ll move into an ecstatic dance led by 1WithMother. After going on her own self exploration journey for the past almost year, discovering more of her own self love, she now wants to share what she’s learned through music. “You can only love another as much as you love yourself” and her inner child wants to sing, dance, and add her expression of love in front of loved ones! The dance will be on the slower side to conserve the collective energy for the Attica Road performance.

At 8pm, we’ll be joined by a live performance from Attica Road Elementals, channeling the heartbeat of the Mother through eclectic, tribal rhythms that invite deep movement and connection.

Enjoy beautiful local vendors offering crafts and unique gifts, along with food and refreshments available by donation.

Please sign up in advance so we can prepare the right amount of ceremonial cacao for everyone. Your early registration helps us create a more intentional and nourishing experience for all.

We can’t wait to dance, connect, and align with you under the stars

Sign up to reserve your cup of cacao and we will message you with further details!

This Ceremony of Self Ritual is an invitation to tune your personal frequency, to the frequency you are trying to attract. Breathe in a deep sense of self love and acceptance for where ever you are on your journey, and breathe out anything that could be holding you back. Once you find your personal alignment, care for yourself, and clarify what exactly you are looking to call in, your energy will shift to allow someone just as amazing as you, to find you. This could take months or years to manifest, but the purpose of this practice is to focus on your Self, your wants and needs, and realize YOU are the soulmate that you need at this moment in time.

We will open with Creating our own Cacao Ceremony along with guided Journaling with Olive. Cacao is a plant medicine that connects us with our hearts, and invites us to a state of presence and inner-connectedness. This medicine will be infused with Herbs and sweetened with agave, to form a warm dark chocolate drink. This has a ton of vitamins and minerals to nourish your body, and is sure to give you a hug from the inside out. Please bring a Journal, Pen, and your own mug for Cacao!

Following our Cacao Ceremony we will move into a Sound Healing Journey. You will experience Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Flute, Chimes, Classical Guitar, African Harp, Medicine songs, and Drumming.

About your guide: Olive facilitates Yoga, Thai bodywork, Reflexology, and has been holding healing community events for 5 years.

Join us for a deeply relaxing Floating Sound Bath experience, where you’ll unwind in an Aerial Hammock, fully supported and immersed in the soothing vibrations of a live sound bath.

Partner Yoga is a collaborative, 90-minute, all-levels practice designed to deepen connection, trust, and communication with a partner, friend, or loved one. Using shared, supported poses, the session focuses on synchronized breathing, assisted stretching, and interactive poses that foster playfulness and intimacy, with options for modification available.

You will be guided through gentle and nourishing yoga postures, carefully curated to promote deep relaxation and release tension from the body. These postures are meant to be fully supported with the use of props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, allowing you to sink into each pose with ease and comfort.

Breathwork and mindfulness techniques will also be integrated, encouraging you to cultivate present-moment awareness and connect with your inner self. This mindful approach will deepen the relaxation and provide you with a sense of inner clarity and tranquility.

During the yoga flow, Felicia will weave the soothing vibrations of crystal sound bowls, chimes, and other melodic instruments throughout the session. These sounds are carefully guided to harmonize with your breath and movement, helping release tension, calm the nervous system, and balance your energy. As you flow through poses, the gentle resonance supports deeper relaxation, enhances mindfulness, and amplifies the healing energy of the Reiki-infused practice. Participants often feel a profound sense of inner clarity, openness, and energetic alignment by the end of the session.
