Welcoming Heather Mitchell, who will lead Elements of the Orisha on October 10 from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. 🌊

Water. Wind. Fire. Earth. Thunder. The natural world is alive with movement. In this workshop, we’ll explore the Orisha through the elements and forces of nature they embody. Through story, rhythm, and movement, we’ll experience the distinct energies and movement qualities of selected Orisha and explore what happens when we allow those forces to move through our own bodies. 🔥
