We're meeting in front of the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, 2301 First St, downtown Ft Myers around sundown. With the weather dress accordingly (we're outside) and bring water! Usually you can find parking on the street, but there is free parking at the Harborside Events Center and shuttle service. There is construction downtown and some streets may be closed, so be advised!
The drummers usually start to gather at 6 p.m., but we usually don't start dancing until about 7:30 p.m. when the sun is down, take a break 8:30 to 9 p.m. then dance again. There is a one-act play inside the Art Center at 7 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m.; we cannot make noise (music) while it is in progress as the sound carries.
Art Walk is a free event www.FortMyersArtWalk.com

Full Moon Sacred Women Circles

Sacred Women Circles have been taking place since ancient times. Women would gather to celebrate their femininity,share sorrows or joy, to be a witness for each other in moments of declarations. We come together under the energy of the Full Moon to connect with Her nurturing, healing and empowering us to Be who we were born to be: Sacred, Strong, Empowered Women.
Every month we will connect and celebrate using the different zodiac sign of the moon, to align ourselves with it for our highest and best good. Celebration through chanting mantras , Toning sacred sounds, aromatherapy, spoken word-sharing, yoga, dance, singing crystal bowl healing, meditation......& so much more.
