Movement Mass Postcard

Children and Movement Mass ~
 
Movement Mass is a sacred time for our community to come together to attend to our inner work. As your children are welcome to come and share in the energy, we ask that you help hold the dynamic field if you choose to bring them.
 
Our dancing journey brings us into deep stillness and ecstatic full body expression. If you bring your children to Mass, please care for them so that they do not distract the dancers with their sweet sounds or how they move through the room. If needed, you are always welcome to take them out to the lobby.
 
Please also note that sometimes the energy is simply too intense for young open beings.
