Long Dance is just that: a long dance lasting from sunset to sunrise. Like many cultures around the world, we gather to celebrate in a sacred way by holding a special annual ceremony that honors the Earth Mother, the living systems of Nature and the wonders of being a spiritual being on a human journey.  Each year we dance a new direction in the medicine wheel. This year we will dance in the EAST - the place of illumination, eagle and air, and the human mind, the direction of spring, awakening, change, and the yellow sun.

Long Dance brings together those new to ceremonial process and ways, as well as those who return to continue their work year after year. While the ceremony is danced by women only, men stand in support as members of the Thunder Lodge, our brothers who honor the women by offering balance in holding this sacred container and safeguarding the ceremony.  We are deeply grateful for the Thunder Lodge's support of this spiritual work and spiritual teachings throughout the weekend and the opportunities to connect in sacred brotherhood throughout the year. 

At Long Dance we gather to reconnect with Earth Mother, to support the healing of wounds, to provide the chance to undertake a re-dreaming of one's life, to celebrate our warrior/wild woman/Artemis aspect, and to have permission to be fierce in our personal process.  It is a transformational event for everyone who comes. 

Home Lodge participation is an honor and an opportunity to experience the transformation that accompanies Long Dance more strongly, to create and nurture deep connections within a sacred container unlike any other. Being a part of Home Lodge requires commitment and in return offers a whole new experience within that which is Long Dance. Prior attendance at Long Dance for at least one year and participation in an "Empowerment Through Ritual and Ceremony" class offered by Circles of Empowerment throughout the year are desired pre-requisites for Home Lodge. Spaces are limited. Please contact Hua at rosa2hua@aol.com to apply to participate in Home Lodge, get your Lodge Assignment and receive the link to Home Lodge Registration.

Home Lodge must register at a separate link/registration!
