Featured Events
Sunday Dance, First & Third Sundays!
1-3 PM Third Sundays & First Sundays April through September
at The Studio at the Paonia Laundromat, 604 2nd Street.
First Sundays provide an opportunity for different facilitators or co-facilitators to try on this style of dance space. Reach out if you are interested in facilitating!
Arrive at 1 pm to warm up, stretch, and gently settle into the space. Opening circle 10-15 minutes in and a closing circle after the music. An eclectic recorded music soundscape provided for your movement journey. This community dance space is inspired by the Ecstatic Dance and 5 Rhythms movements. It does not have to look like dance, nor does it have to be ecstatic. Come as you are; leave transformed. First dance is free.

Sing to the River
Community Ash Circle
Third Sunday Dance
Mondays at 2 PM
April & May, 2026. Meet at the Paonia River Park just down the boat ramp from the east end of the parking lot.
Bring a song to share or not.
This came about in response to a part of our watershed being slated to be piped, and the feeling that the land was grieving the loss of that water to the ecosystem. I heard the river asking to "gather people to sing to the river."

Community Ash Circle
Community Ash Circle
Community Ash Circle
The Ash Circle is based on a West Africal (Dagara) conflict resolution ritual modeled by Sobonfu Somé. In my experience everyone in atttendance, whether participating or witnessing, comes away with deepened insight and connection.
Community Ash Circles may be scheduled on an as-needed basis.
