10th Annual Thanksgiving Day World Peace Meditation (Thanksgiving Day)
For 10 years, inspired by suffering and loving interconnection, we have hosted a

30 minutes. Focusing our Collective Consciousness… in a world where there is so much suffering and we have so much.
If you cannot join us, feel free to pause at this time, wherever you are!
Contact Improv
(Day after Thanksgiving)
Contact Improv (CI) is for movers of all shapes, sizes and ages. Through physical experiments, exercises & scores, participants will engage with touch and weight exchange that is dependent on gravity more than on gender.
"At the center of the experiment called Contact Improvisation is a proposal for democratic social relations reduced to its simplest form: an improvised encounter between people - a form of leadership based on suggestion, invitation, improvisation & collaboration." -Novack

COMMUNITY RITUAL
We recognize ritual as the origins of theater (the Theater of Dionysus), Ritual as container and marker of initiation and transition, Ritual as individual, joint and community space for healing and transformation.
Coming from an earth-based, mindfulness spiritual practice we are interested in the exploration of the nature of consciousness and holding space with and for other people to embark upon their own personal journeys.
ARTFARM leadership has been facilitating earth-based circles for over 30 years.
Keep your ear out for the next Community Ritual in your area (or contact us to craft one that serves you and your community).

Taught in rotation by veteran circus performers, directors and educators Allison McDermott and Naja Muller, you self-select where you want to put your focus, and work at a level that is comfortable for you.
