🌸 Flow of the Day 🌸
2:00 PM – 4:30 PM | Roots & Rhythms (A small, intimate container limited to 30 bbs)
We begin the day with intention, waking up the body and settling the nervous system.
- 2:00 PM | Somatic Grounding: We start with gentle shaking and guided stretching designed to release the heaviness of winter and help you find your centre.
- 2:30 PM | Queer Salsa: Rise into a workshop facilitated by QS. This is a gender-inclusive partner dance social where everyone leads and flows freely, blending cultural salsa traditions with community vibes. Open to dancers of all levels.
- 3:30 PM | The Dance: A dedicated movement hour to let it all go. We’ll be spinning Afro and Latin tunes so you can keep the energy moving, integrate what you’ve learned, or simply have a good shake-off.
4:30 PM | Open Mic Poetry by Echoes of Us The floor opens for spoken word, poetry, and song. This is a space to be heard—share your truth, your story, and your voice, or simply witness others in theirs.
5:00 PM | The Social & The Bloom Doors Open | The Tribe Gathers
As the afternoon expands, we nourish our bodies and spirits.
- Nourishment by Minsa Moon: Warm, grounding bowls will be served to fuel you (available for a small donation).
- The Potion Station (Pocket Meadows Workshop by Spectra): Learn about Spring herbal blends and craft your own mix of herbs in a muslin bag to take that renewal energy home with you.
- Storytelling Circle with Cheza Lucina: For those seeking a pause, we open a cushioned storytelling circle to reclaim Chisme (Gossip). This is a space for oral history, community news, and truth-telling, honouring the power of the stories that bind us.
- Reflective Corner by Minsa Moon: A very gentle, optional space to explore what you need right now—radical rest, grounding, and quiet reflection.
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | The Shift The Volume Rises
As the sun sets, the energy shifts. We dance out or share with others the final hours of the weekend together.
- Open Decks: We are keeping the vibes high but grounded. (Note: If you’ve got downtempo chill tunes that honour diasporic beats within Latinx and Afro-Caribbean music, please DM us!)
No pressure. No performance. Just community, care, and a soft return to sunshine.
Don't forget to bring your favourite drinks! Please note: This is a sober, intentional space, so we kindly ask that you be mindful of this and refrain from bringing alcohol or substances into the space <3
Secure your places NOW bb, as we have VERY limited spaces!
