Say Yes To Play!
Improv Games for Creativity • Connection • Embodied Expression
with Meg Christie and Sandra Sneiderman

 ✨ Jump in… move… sing… giggle… laugh… create! ✨

Step into scenes, sounds, and playful improvisation – no experience required!
 Let your body, voice, and imagination run wild in a joyful, safe, and supportive space.

🎶 Move. Express. Connect. Play. 🎶

Join us for 90 minutes of joyful exploration as we awaken creativity through movement, voice, and play. In this lighthearted improv experience, you’ll discover how stepping out of your head and into your body can unlock spontaneity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Through a series of playful, easy-to-learn improv games, we’ll explore sound, movement, character, and connection. Expect moments of silliness, laughter, and surprise as we create scenes, experiment with voice, and even play with song (no singing experience required!).

Sandra and Meg, veteran improvisers with 20+ years of experience, will guide you through a dynamic mix of structured games designed to spark imagination, build confidence, and invite you to trust your creative instincts.

We are dedicated to cultivating a safe, warm, and welcoming space where you can relax, move freely, take creative risks, and rediscover the natural joy of expression and play.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Be Like Water ~ Women’s Contact Improvisation Jam

With the awareness of our Bodies of Water, come explore and play in this beautiful art form that is, Contact Improvisation—where your body is the medium! Come with curiosity! This is super beginner-friendly!

We’ll first meet in circle and touch upon some safety basics of Contact Improv. Then we’ll land fully and relaxed into our soft fluid bodies via our breath and a movement exercise. This leads us to discover some of the spirals within our dance. As a warm-up, we will bring our spirals to meet each other in a simple exercise before diving into our CI Jam. Hope to see you there!

Please reach out to Ela with any questions.

Cost: $10 cash or Venmo at the door

Soul Motion ~ Movements of Intimacy
with Devorah Bry

A presence practice, Soul Motion is a way to come home to center, ground, and all our relations—a practice that assists us in glimpsing a fulfilling emptiness that many refer to as freedom.

In Pausing, Orbiting, and following that which Spirals…
In Receiving, Echoing, and Inspiring one another…
In orienting towards vibratory Reality and dropping the effort…
Communion awaits

About your host:
Devorah Bry is dedicated to the love found in body, space, meditation, relational movement, and Impermanence. As a somatic therapist and group facilitator and trained Soul Motion teacher, Dev has been sharing her love for this practice for the past 15 years.

Cost: $45 – 75

Wild Soul’s Journey Dance
Moving Through the Seasons of the Soul
A Collaboration with Samantha Hubbell

This conscious dance journey invites you into the living cycles of the soul.

In nature, life unfolds through seasons of birth, growth, blooming, harvest, and return to the soil. Our inner lives move through these same rhythms. Through guided movement and music, we will dance through the archetypal stages of the Wild Soul’s Journey. Awakening the energies of the Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Elder within us.

Rather than learning choreography, this is a practice of conscious dance. Listening to the intelligence of the body and allowing movement to arise from within. Each season of the dance invites a different quality of energy: curiosity, inner authority, passion, surrender, and wisdom.

This gathering also offers a taste and prelude to the Wild Soul’s Journey—Plant Ally Circles that honor a deeper path of soul exploration guided by nature and plant teachers. During the evening we will meet Dandelion as our plant ally, sharing tea and opening to the presence and wisdom of this plant as a guide for the dance. Each participant will also receive a Dandelion flower essence bottle to take home, supporting continued integration and relationship beyond the evening.

This evening is not the full Wild Souls Journey offering but a gentle doorway into its landscape. The deeper journey of the soul unfolds over time. Through relationship, season, and lived experience. It cannot be rushed or completed in a single offering. But we can begin to sense its rhythms, to touch into the patterns that shape our lives, and to listen for what is quietly moving within us.

If you’ve journeyed through the Wild Soul’s Journey before, this evening offers a space for integration. A chance to reconnect with the seasons through the body and notice what is still unfolding within you.

Plants have long served as elders and teachers to humans. In this space, the plant is not something we analyze, but a living ally whose spirit can accompany and inform our experience.

Together we will move, listen, and remember the deeper rhythms of the soul that live within us and the living earth.
