Elul Ecstatic Dance – rise&shine – a guided dance party through the themes of the morning service

with Eliana Light

Free for members; $18-36 donation for non-members
All are welcome; No dance or prayer experience necessary 🙂 

Part ecstatic dance, part morning rave, part Jewish liturgical journey, rise&shine is a guided dance party to start the day with love and joy. We’ll move through our prayers, focusing on the themes of connection, yearning, and returning for the month of Elul.
