A Moment of Self Care

Join me and Sarah Jenness for two blissful hours Monday November 19th.

Dance from within with guided expandance movement meditations from me, then enjoy restorative poses whilst being bathed in a sound bath led by Sarah. Sound luxurious? Sound like something you might need before the family arrives for Thanksgiving? Come re-set your nervous system and leave feeling refreshed and deeply relaxed.

Family Groove

Are you a parent who can't get to dance often because babysitter + dance = too much money / hassle?

We get it.

We, Julia and Rachel, have a 3 year old and a 5 month old respectively, and we've been missing 

- hanging out with other adults!

- stretching and moving on the dance floor!

- grooving to fun, non-kid music!

So we've started FAMILY GROOVE

An hour of space for you to dance and stretch, with space for your little ones to dance with you, or while being worn by you, or to play. We have the (enclosed) balcony for kiddos who don't want to dance, for art projects or hang out space / fresh air. We also have a cushiony corner if anyone needs to nurse. 

The deets:

1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month
4:30pm - 5:30pm
At the Barn, Sebastopol, Sonoma County, California (E-mail us for the address / directions)

Donation $15-10 per adult; kiddos are free
No one turned away for lack of funds - please reach out to us if you need a week "off"
If you can do $15, please do. It helps cover those who cannot. Thank you.

See you on the dance floor,

- Rachel & Julia, and our wee ones Anias (3) and Tadhgh (5 months)

A recent Family Groove 

The other stuff:

* You are responsible for your own children, and for helping to maintain a safe space for all to groove

* Please carpool as much as possible

* Of course, talking is sometimes necessary on the dance floor, but please let's keep full on conversations for the balcony and the grooving for the floor!

* Max 2 adults per child 

* Are you a person-without-children who would like to come dance and help babysit? Great! Please connect with a family and come with them. No unaccompanied adults please
* Feel free to bring your own art projects etc for children who aren't so into the dancing (let's keep it to pencils / crayons rather than markers)
* Please refrain from this event if you or your kiddos are sick
* Please don't touch another person's child without their and their parents verbal permission in the moment
* If you take photos please do not distribute them publicly or on social media without the verbal permission of the parents

Thanks for helping us create a safe, loving, fun space to groove!
