SUMMARY:Ecstatic Dance Event - Featuring Electric Nomads
DESCRIPTION:The Electric Nomads return to the Common Street Spiritual Center for another ecstatic dance gathering. \nCome join us for an evening of freeform movement and dance to the live grooves of the Electric Nomads as they take you on an musical journey that begins slowly and gradually builds up and up until everyone is soaring\, and then gently returning you to Mother Earth to rest on the waves of a lush sound bath meditation. \nThe Electric Nomads are musical alchemists\, fusing acoustic and electronic elements to form a funky melange of world instruments and chanted vocalizations woven around a core of monster bass grooves and percussive beats. But E.N. also knows the way of sublime sounds that are flowing\, soothing and delicate. \nPlease arrive no later than 7pm so you can settle in before the opening ceremony. We prefer that people not arrive late\, in order to avoid disrupting the flow once the wheels get turning. \nThe members of the Electric Nomads include Dave Santospago\, Dave Curry\, Jason Karol and Bruno Giles. \nBring along a water bottle\, any kind of flow props that are appropriate for a group dance environment and a blanket or yoga mat to lie down for the final meditation at the end of the night. \nSuggested donation of $20+ per person (cash\, Paypal or Venmo).

SUMMARY:A River Flows Through Me: A Thematic Presentation Through Dance
DESCRIPTION:The river\, the vein of our earth\, enriches the land! By flowing through hills\, villages\, and cities\, the river supports the lives of plants\, birds\, fishes\, and humans. \nWe get mesmerized by its beauty. A fisherman depends on it for livelihood\, while the poet and artist get inspired by its beauty and create! \nThe river gives refuge to the sick\, old\, tired\, socially unacceptable and retired\, by its soothing sound of rippling\, flowing water. \nBut as we use and enjoy the river\, we remain somewhat numb to the ways we abuse it. So who will give refuge to the river? \nFree and open to the public.
