Intro to Riq (Arabic Style Tambourine)
Tuesday August 4, 2026 15:00 - 16:30 EDT
Dance Pavillion
This frame drum and its cymbals can be a lead instrument in an Arabic ensemble. It can embellish the rhythms, or can hold a steady beat. We will cover beledi, maqsoum, chiftetelli and other rhythms, including a 9/8 if folks are up for it. There will be a dozen tambourines to lend out or buy in the class, or bring your own with TWO rows of cymbals, AND a head. Nina is the leader of Brinjal World Music, Baltimore’s bellydance band.

S. J. TUCKER PRESENTS GRAMMA WOLF'S GARDEN
Wednesday August 5, 2026 13:00 - 14:30 EDT
Dance Pavillion
Beloved Songwitch S. J. Tucker brings us a storytelling performance in a workshop setting, with songs interspersed and Q&A to follow.  Author Satyros Phil Brucato gave S. J. his blessing earlier this decade to produce and release an audio performance of his short story, Gramma Wolf's Garden, along with the rights to perform it for a live audience. Loosely derived from the bloodier versions of the Red Riding Hood folktale, Gramma Wolf's Garden contains herb lore, magic, true love, great loss, respect for the natural world, a very intuitive wolf pack, and the triumph of a crone over those who would see her broken and gone from the earth.

Shapeshifting: A practical guide to guising in your every day life
Thursday August 6, 2026 13:00 - 14:30 EDT
Dance Pavillion
This will be a practical shapeshifting and guising class, usable in your every day life. Modern society often requires us to wear a thousand faces daily, and shift seamlessly between them. We're going to be going over how to go through these faces intentionally and wear different energies to better navigate modern society and infuse your life with a bit of witchcraft. 
We're going to be up and moving through a space, and a little active. (Note! Even if your operating at a physical deficit, feel free to show up- We will get you involved. Sincerely, The Girl with POTS/Long Covid who still likes to participate)

Ecstatic Breathwork Journey
Friday August 7, 2026 09:30 - 11:00 EDT
Dance Pavillion
Led by Michael Boothby, this journey offers an intimate exploration into the depths of the self, inspired by the ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses. Participants will receive a mythology card from the Classical Greek Mythology Deck, serving as a mirror to reflect their own life's journey and challenges. Michael provides insightful explanations into the symbolism and relevance of each card, setting the stage for a transformative breathwork session.
What to Expect:
  • Mythological Guidance: Each participant is gifted a mythology card, offering a unique lens through which to view their personal evolution and the session ahead.
  • Insightful Explanations: Michael offers a brief exploration into the stories and symbols represented by the cards, connecting ancient wisdom to modern paths of healing and self-discovery.
  • Guided Breathwork Session: An hour-long ecstatic breathwork session, accompanied by a carefully curated soundtrack that moves through the chakras, invites participants to journey within, facilitated by the rhythmic power of the breath.
  • Sacred Sharing Circle: The workshop concludes with a sharing circle, where participants are encouraged to share their experiences, insights, and revelations, fostering a sense of community and collective growth.

Body Temple Dance
Saturday August 8, 2026 13:00 - 14:30 EDT
Dance Pavillion


Body Temple Dance is a practice of trance, somatic movement, dance, manifestation, and healing or acknowledging grief. 
BTD starts with writing of a prompt, breathework, and poetry. 
Then we begin to move. There are 3 styles of movement in body temple dance. The styles of movement are used as sort of progression of the soul and spirit. 
This is only 1 of 3 workshops I would like to do.
