We humans are living through extraordinary times that stretch our limitations into possibility. We can dream of a world in balance where our prayers weave together and manifest the health of ourselves living on the planet.
Our Dance is the high summer ceremony that honors all the Suns in this Universe and their life giving energy.
Together, let’s activate prayer with all of Life by preparing, praying, dancing, singing, and drumming.
Our Ceremony, In Community
Some of our deepest remembering, learning and growing comes from being part of this ceremony. Expand our life view while we move with one another in community during this ceremony.
This year’s Dance is dedicated to Sacred Human, being awake and aware of its impact on the world and how we as humans are being impacted by life every day.
Our Dance Chief WhiteEagle Woman of the Delicate Lodge will guide us through this ceremony.
Preparation time is part of the prayer we are building. We create, build and maintain the container, altars, space and beauty together.
No previous knowledge of the Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge is required to join. All who feel the calling is welcome.
Drumming
Drumming is an important part of our ceremony. Drum practices are held in preparation, before and during ceremony before the dance begins. Contact the Drum Point to join a Drum Team.
Dancing
When our container is ready, we begin our dance. We dance to the Tree of Life for 45min of each hour when the Sun is up, from dawn till dusk.
Our dance is a way of prayer. Everyone is invited to dance as much as they like. Lead Dancers who have been preparing since the beginning of last winter season, dance for every round, carrying the prayers of all life.
Food
Food is simple during this ceremony as the main focus is supporting our collective prayer. Our food point will prepare light foods to have the experience deeper. Common food sensitivities are taken into account.
Substance Free
For this ceremony, we use no altering recreational substances. We understand the world of substance use has greatly changed and we know this ceremony stands alone with its own altering capabilities, without help from the plant nation.
Our ceremony and the Jupiter Farm are an alcohol and any kind of recreational drug - free zone.
Families with Children
Families are important in our circle. Care will be arranged to engage parents in the community care for our children at different times. If you are considering bringing your children under the age of 18, we ask you to register no later than July 1.
Scholarships, Donations
Donations may be used toward scholarships. Providing a scholarship for someone in need is a wonderful way to support the dance and those that need resources. The registration form can be used for donations.
Accommodation
We gather under the open skies of Anatolia — close to the earth, beneath the stars, and in harmony with nature. Your stay is part of the ceremony.
Camping in the Olive Grove
Participants are invited to bring their own tents and set up camp beneath the ancient olive trees. Each sunrise brings golden light through the leaves, and each evening ends around the fire in community.
Camper Van & Caravan Spots
For those arriving with their own camper vans, we have a designated area near the main circle space. With views over the Anatolian landscape, you'll enjoy the rhythm of nature with comfort and independence.
We Move As A Circle
If you’re new to camping, we’re happy to help you get oriented.
Dancers!
It's Time to Dance!
