Outdoors • Firelit • Dress Warm

We heard you loud and clear! Dancing in the snow, circling the fire, and sharing warmth in community was such a hit, we’re gathering once more this winter to dance it out at The Heron Farm and Event Center! Join us for a Winter New Moon Ecstatic Dance, an outdoor, firelit gathering under dark skies.

The New Moon is a time of deep quiet, a moonless sky for listening, releasing, and setting intentions.

We’ll meet at the Café in the Woods, gathering around the fire to open sacred space together, sip warm cacao, ground into gratitude, and as daylight gives way to darkness, we’ll open the ecstatic dance container and move together by firelight with a DJ set by Jimmy Wilson. We’ll close the evening with a shared chant and a simple potluck, ending the night in warmth and community.

Hot water and teas will be available throughout.

Donation-Based Event

Suggested: $10–$20 to support the venue
(No one turned away for lack of funds)

What to Bring:

• Your own mug + bowl/fork/spoon for cacao and soup/potluck
• A dish to share (Vegetarian Soup will be provided)
• Warm layers for dancing outdoors (this event is completely outdoors, come prepared for the cold!)
• Bring your own camping chair if you want a cozy spot to sit and settle in.
• Pack in, pack out. Let’s keep the woods happy — please take everything you bring with you.

LOVING REMINDERS:

• Be ready for a little adventure.
If we get snow, we will need to hike from HQ/Visitor Parking to the Café in the Woods. The roads won’t be plowed, so plan for a snowy stroll. Call Isa @ 646-248-4989 with any questions.
• It’s an outdoor gathering.
We’ll have a small fire going, but please come bundled up and ready for winter temps. Bring whatever you need to stay cozy keeping in mind that that you will be hiking there and back with your belongings.
• This event is weather dependent.
We’d love to call in light snow on the ground and calm skies for Solstice magic… but if we get heavy wind or a storm or the temps drop too low, we may need to postpone. We will be updating the Facebook group with the weather conditions as we get closer to the event. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Cr772hukg/

Looking forward to gathering with you all!
