Lughnasadh Dance - Lion's Gate Dance Ceremony

Deepen into the heat of summer with Lughnasadh Dance! We are excited to offer ceremony and celebration of life, honoring the midpoint between the summer solstice and autumnal equinox. Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, is a harvest festival in the wheel of the year, known as the "first harvest". It is also a celebration of the Celtic sun god, Lugh! Without the potency of the sun, there would be no harvest. Together we will celebrate the abundance of life that the sun provides. Typically, Lughnasadh is celebrated on August 1st, but what power it is to celebrate this sacred holiday during the Lion's Gate Portal. 8/8 is a potent day for manifestation in its connection to the celestial bodies and infinite wisdom of the universe. We will celebrate and manifest together as we engage with this potent energy of abundance, creativity, and gratitude. NOTE: This dance is NOT at Thyme Travelers. It is on a private property in Westhampton, NJ. **Address given after registration.** LION'S GATE RETREAT This weekend, we also will be hosting our Lion's Gate Retreat!

We celebrate the cycles of earth through ceremony on the sacred days of the Wheel of the Year, which is deeply rooted in ancient rituals that have guided our ancestors for millennia. It is with this sacred knowing we collaborate and we introduce ourselves to you as Ancestral Rhythms. We can't wait to dance with our beautiful community in a new location, surrounded by nature as we manifest and surrender.
