NYE Liquid Contact ~ A Warm Water Playshop and Jam followed by a Hot Meal around the Fire in the heart of the Natural World (Dec 31)

We’ve decided to spend some of our last hours of 2023 in the warm pool at the Inner Sanctum and we would love to share this experience with a small group of people who want a mellow New Year’s Eve filled with nourishment, connection, and play.

You are invited to join us for an intentional evening of guided aquatic exploration and Liquid Contact, followed by a community potluck meal around the fire. We will conclude the evening with a closing circle for 2023 and a co-created welcoming ritual for 2024.

Join us for this unique New Years event, where we will experience the depth of relaxation and calming effects that nature and returning back to the womb has on our nervous system at our epic, warm water temple in the woods.

Guided by soundtracks playing both above and underwater in a 97 degree womb-temperature pool you will have the opportunity to explore movement possible in a zero-gravity space.

We will support each individual to explore a variety of water dynamics and movement states, dropping deeply into self and presence. From this state, we will connect intimately with self and others as we are guided by the water to explore dance and movement free from mind.

Through our community journey we will deepen trust, explore consent, playfulness, surrender, & experience nourishing relaxation.

LOCATION:
Location details will be sent in your ticket confirmation email as well as in a reminder email that will be sent out the day before the event, but know at least that The Inner Sanctum is located on 85 acres of peaceful nature near Thomas Fogarty Winery on Skyline in the hills of Woodside (about 1hr from Oakland, San Francisco and Santa Cruz).

Health Mindfulness:
If you have been around large groups, risky containers, or are not feeling well, please take a covid test and/or consider staying home. Transmission risks in this container are pretty low, and let’s do our best to keep each other healthy.

What to bring:

• A potluck dish
• A bathing suit or alternate clothing that is comfortable and non-restrictive – the pool is kept at around 97 degrees
• A towel
• Flip flops and a robe
• A plastic or metal water bottle – you can get dehydrated in the pool and hydration is important for a relaxed body.
• Some warm and cozy clothes to change into for our shared meal time around the fire
• Musical instruments are welcome for our co-created time in the final hours of 2023.
• If you are staying the night: pillow, sheet, blanket & anything you need for breakfast or want to share.

We are so looking forward to sharing the warm waters of this sweet sanctuary and welcoming in a new year with you!
