Join us for a Book Launch and Dance Performance/Journey through the many archetypal roles that Women play in a life time. This multi-media movement event is open to all who love adventure and dancing in radiance!
This celebration is a culmination of a year-long journey that Karen Holmes took to become a Radiant Fire Crone. Root dancers, Karen and Amber Johnston, photographer, created The Joy of Unfurling: Becoming Fire Crone, a book that chronicles this personal, yet ancient Journey. Root dancers are featured archetypal models in the book and will reprise their roles on the dance floor, and the audience will be invited to join in and dance each archetype.
