Follow the gossamer threads of nature and magic as we enter the world of the Winged Insecta.

As we slow down and enter more deeply into their worlds, these small beings become guides and allies, illuminating the wisdom and magic within nature and ourselves.

Fall — Butterfly: Transform (Sat, Nov 14th 10-1:30 PST)

​We meet Butterfly in the season of surrender and release, exploring its remarkable life cycle, vibrant colors, migration, overwintering, and communal ways of being. We journey with Psyche and Itzpapalotl, the Obsidian Butterfly, exploring Butterfly’s connection to the soul in life and death across cultures and the mysteries of stillness, emergence, and becoming something new.

​

Our dance carries us from chrysalis to emergence and flight.

​

Winter — Moth: Descend (Sat, Jan 23rd 10-1:30 PST)

We enter the nocturnal world of Moth in the stillness and darkness of winter, exploring its remarkable diversity, nighttime senses, and adaptations. From the luminous Luna moth to the mysterious death’s-head hawkmoth, we explore Moth lore and archetypes of darkness and illumination, inner guidance, and the mysterious pull toward light.

​

Our dance moves through darkness toward the light.

​

Spring — Ladybug: Reawaken (Spring 2027)

As the earth awakens, we welcome Ladybug and explore its surprising metamorphosis, overwintering, spring reemergence, brilliant colors, and role as a protector of the garden. We follow Ladybug lore and journey with Mother Mary and Freya, exploring the reemergence of the heart, protecting what is beginning to grow, and opening ourselves to new life.

​

Our dance invites us into reawakening and the return of the heart.

​

Summer — Dragonfly: Radiate (Summer 2027)

In the warmth and light of summer, we meet Dragonfly and explore its extraordinary journey from aquatic nymph to winged adult, its shimmering colors, remarkable vision, and mastery of flight. We follow Dragonfly lore from the amulets of ancient Egypt to the dragonfly symbolism of the Japanese samurai, exploring its enduring connection to radical change.

​

Our dance rises from the depths into light and flight, inviting us to fully inhabit our own radiance.

Come enter the mystery of the Winged Insecta. Discover what awakens within you, and where their wings might carry you.
