Rituals
October 30: 42nd Annual Reclaiming Spiral Dance Ritual ONLINE
We were looking forward to dancing together, but for the safety of our community and given the increased spread of the Delta strain of the SARS-CoV-2, the Spiral Dance Planning Cell made the decision to hold the Spiral Dance virtually again this year.
We look forward to creating a beautiful, magical experience with global participation and creativity making it a full weekend of Samhain celebration. We are excited to again partner with Survival Media Agency and Donna Read Cooper as editors of the virtual Spiral Dance.
INTENTION
With wisdom of the ancestors and love for the descendants, we raise our voices for justice, healing, and peace!
WHERE
The ritual will be available through a Reclaiming YouTube channel for easy streaming, even for people with standard or slow connectivity. Instructions and links will be shared upon registration through Eventbrite.
DONATION
The sliding scale through Eventbrite goes as low as $1. If you are able, please place yourself generously on the sliding scale. If you need to register without going through Eventbrite or if you have any questions at all, please email dancethespiral79@gmail.com.
The Reclaiming community relies on donations for our ability to pay our content creators and host events (when safe!). We will have a sliding scale of donations for tickets to the event. If you are able, please place yourself generously on the sliding scale.
However, no one is turned away for lack of funds or ability to pay online.
