Dance Temple

Hosted by Dance Temple Campbell River

Driem (Aaron) is excited to be offering his first facilitation of Campbell River Dance Temple.

This will be a juicy, earthy, energetic dance to celebrate the energy of Spring. Expect a traditional ecstatic dance "arc" going from meditative and gentle, then into intense and fiery, then to gentle again! Driem will be sharing his latest creations and musical discoveries and also sharing some flute guitar.

DANCE TEMPLE AGREEMENTS:: In this space we collectively agree to: *Develop compassion, awareness, acceptance *Deepen into a body-centred meditation *No talking on the dance floor *No outdoor shoes (for indoor dances) *No cellphones *No instruments *No photography *No drugs, alcohol, or other intoxicants.

Family Dance Temple Agreements: Dance Temple Welcomes families and children! To meet the diverse needs of our dancers we have created special "family agreements" - Children are welcome on the dance floor area provided that they are accompanied & closely minded by their parents (for example; dancing beside their parent or guardian). - No speaking on the dance floor. - During the opening and closing circles children will remain with their parents and remain as quiet as possible so that people speaking in the circle can be heard. We appreciate your support and patience as we explore how this community can best jive and thrive.

ON BOUNDARIES & TOUCH: We recognize that touch and physical proximity can mean different things to different people. In this space we practice self-awareness of our own bodies, and the ways in which we engage with the moving bodies of others. We define consent as freely given, ongoing and an enthusiastic agreement for mutual participation.

WHEN APPROACHING OTHERS: *Make no assumptions! Look for a yes, look for eye contact *Respect any no (including when someone is ignoring you or moves away from you) *Respect a Solo Dancer’s right to their space. * Do not engage in physical touch without clear consent.

This is a transformational space for dance, healing, prayer, laughter, joy, sadness and everything in between.
