“It is Not about Art, also Not about pure Technique. It is about Life, and therefore about finding a Language for Life.” —Pina Bausch
A Summer Solstice Dionysus Dance Party & Rapture Rave
Santa Fe, NM | FRIDAY, June [20th] | 7:30-11P PST PM
For the wild, tender, rageful, grieving, ecstatic, and holy in you.
A ritual descent. A collective rising. A leopard-print resurrection.
This Summer Solstice, step into a mythic, embodied journey through grief, rage, joy, and pleasure.
"Inanna’s Journey (with a Jersey Twist)" is part sacred theater, part dance ritual, and part full-body yes to being alive — together.
We’re not performing for you.
We’re inviting you in.
No experience needed — just your body, your breath, and a willingness to feel.
What’s Going Down
Ritual Theater: We reimagine the ancient myth of Inanna's Descent — the Queen of Heaven who travels to the underworld — in Newark Airport, where the TSA authority plays your shadow, and your power is waiting to be reclaimed in leopard print.
Body Temple Dance: A guided, relational, somatic movement journey to move what’s inside you — grief, pleasure, truth — through breath, imagination, and community. No choreography, no pressure.
Rapture Rave: An altar-lit, Dionysus-infused dance party to celebrate your rebirth. Come feral, come free, come exactly as you are.
"The job of the artist is to find ways that creativity can come through them, and then loosen the ego and become expanded enough for the archetypal energy of creation to enter." - Michael Meade

Is This for You?
You’re holding grief, rage, or longing you don’t know where to put
You’re tired of healing in your head
You miss the kind of community where your body gets to be real
You’re craving connection, sacred play, ritual, and release
You’re ready to take your shoes off and step into your next becoming
What Is Sacred Theater?
Sacred Theater is a living ritual — not just something you watch, but something you feel.
It is not fully scripted - to allow participants to channel, leaving room for the mystery.
It blends performance, embodiment, humor, and holy irreverence to drop us into truth.
We use myth, movement, and play to wake up the parts of us that have been exiled — and call them home.
What Is Body Temple Dance?
Body Temple Dance is a guided, somatic movement practice that blends breath, imagination, and relationship.
It’s not about doing it “right.” It’s about getting real.
This is where your body becomes the temple, your truth becomes the altar, and your dance becomes the prayer.
Come dance the descent.
Laugh, cry, scream, sweat, shed, remember.
Take off your shoes. You won’t need them where we’re going.
