Dearest dancers ~
A new chapter of Dance Temple is beginning soon!
As you may know, mandates are finally lifting in April and we are thrilled to announce that we will be back at our beloved Beaver Point Hall to dance regularly on Thursday evenings! Whoop whoop!!!
Our very special relaunch will be on Thursday, April 7th, 7-9:30pm. This one will be a bit longer so we can marinate together in the glow and dance to the magic offered by three of our Dance Temple facilitators- Naomi, Cat and Lila!
In this new chapter, we would also like to welcome Sarah Etherington at the helm of the Dance Temple ship! Naomi Jason is stepping away from this role after 12 years of building and nurturing the collective to steward an intentional land project and support others who hold community space. She and the other collective members (Lyndsay Lila, Shauna Devlin, Cat NeSs and Cedar Mathias) will continue to support Sarah to uphold the vision of Dance Temple, but will all be less involved in the managing as a whole. As we move through this transition, the collective looks forward to cultivating a new chapter of Dance Temple.
Tickets at the door like the good old days!
$20- cash or e-transfer prior to the event or at the door.
No one has ever been or will be turned away for lack of funds. This said, we strongly feel the value of this offering to be $20, so please check in at the door if you can't afford it!
Headsets will be available for those who wish to dance outdoors.
Volunteer spots ARE FILLED for our first dance, in future, please contact Sarah at dancetemplelove@gmail.com.
A reminder that Dance Temple is….
Judgment Free
Chat Free
Shoe Free
Phone Free and
Substance Free
Each month, we have given a portion of our proceeds to a local organization that is working for system change or social justice. Last month's contribution went to: Fairy Creek Blockade
We are so grateful to be gathering again on the unceded territories of the Cowichan and W'ESANEC people. We acknowledge that a lot of us are settlers here, and our presence has been marked by historic and ongoing colonial violence (that has in turn marked many of our own ancestral lineages). We pray that our dance serves in some way, to transform and decolonize our beings so that we may co-create a more beautiful world for the generations to come.
We look forward dancing with you soooooon!!!

What is Dance Temple?
A community gathering to tune in, join in, celebrate, meditate and unwind! These sessions are lightly facilitated and offer both invitations to explore different pathways into movement and an open space for you to experience your own journey while being connected to the group field. No experience necessary and all ages and abilities welcome. |
A lightly-facilitated dance journey where ritual comes alive,
beauty unfolds, and energy flows.
“May we all dance together in celebration, each in our place, in our style,
in our infinite grace and encourage, support, nurture
and stand up for each other every step of the way.”
