What Blooms in the Moonlight: Live Art Performance & Ecstatic Dance

Join us as we continue to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Ann Lee’s arrival to our site in the spring of 1776, and her message of love, with an immersive evening of intuitive, improvisational music, inspired live art, and ecstatic dance; a nod to some of the experiences of early Shaker life and worship. The evening begins with a meditative live painting and sound performance that explores themes of ephemerality and impermanence. Then, the audience is invited to join the performers in a participatory guided ecstatic dance. No experience is needed. This is an invitation to foster love for oneself and the community through self-expression and connection. Light refreshments will be provided. Suggested $10 donation.
Reserve your spot today at Eventbrite! Walk ins are welcome!
