Northern Michigan Ecstatic Dance


Sunday, March 16
​
10:00-12:00

​Ecstatic dance is like a meditation for the body. We let go of our minds and drop into the body, to be with whatever is happening for us at the time. Movement can help us access, express, release, and celebrate what is, and what might be hard to notice otherwise.

The majority of the time is for free-form movement

Any form of dancing or movement is allowed as long as it is safe for everyone. All people of all sizes, types, and ages welcome. There is no photography or recording of any kind. This is a drug and alcohol free space.

Mills Community House wants everyone to have access to dance, so this is a pay what you will event; it is free to you if you need it.
​
Donations support the incredible Mills Community House and help Jeanie buy gas and lunch., and cover expenses of the dance.

Jeanie Williams has been hosting ecstatic dance in Northern Michigan since 2016.

About:
Need help planting your tree seedlings this spring? Love planting trees but don’t need any more yourself? Want to give back to your community and the environment? Then the Neighbor Network is for you!

The Neighbor Network is a mini program of our Native Seedling Sales. During this Neighbor Network meetup on March 25, you’ll learn the best tips for planting tree seedlings, chat with people in your community, and have the opportunity to arrange planting dates together. These plantings are not BCD events, but rather, we are fostering this Neighbor Network community in the spirit of volunteerism. For questions, please contact [email protected].
