About this dance
Welcome to Fluidity, Ashland’s own weekly Ecstatic Dance at the Jackson Wellsprings!
Every Tuesday night, from the hours of 7-10pm we will gather on the venerable grounds of the Jackson Wellsprings to dance, followed by a soak that is private to our ecstatic dancers in the mineral waters from 10:30pm-1am. Integration is important to us! Join us dancing on this land where the sacred waters run, then soak it in with good company.
With the name Fluidity, we honor the preciousness of the opportunity we have to both share in the communion of ecstatic dance and soak together in the sacred mineral springs as a closed container afterwards.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE::
6:45pm ~ Doors Open
7-7:30pm ~ Somatic Workshop with unique guests every week

DANCE SPACES:
We get to come together every week, no matter the weather. On the lands of the Jackson Wellsprings, we have dancing spaces for every season. Join us in the hottest months for an outdoor dance under the stars of the Back Meadow; In the coldest months of the year, we dance inside the comfortable and cozy Community Room; And in the in-between months, we have the Casbah, which is an indoor/outdoor space equipped with covering for the rain and a fire pit where there will be someone holding a sacred fire throughout the dance. Dress according to the time of year, and know that we will always be in one of the three spaces described above!
THE SOAK:
Our late night soak is available only to the ecstatic dancers, so it is a really special and intimate way to get to know our community here. We relax and heal together after our dance journey in these healing waters, steam room, sauna, hot pool, and large air-temp pool.
* These private soaks are clothing optional
* No glass is allowed by the pool decks
* Like dance, this is also a sober space
* Bring your water bottle and stay hydrated
* Bring your own towel
PREPAY INFO:
We offer our dances on a sliding scale, starting at $15.
If you purchase a dance and soak together, you can get the two for $25.
Some dances (when we host a larger name) will have a suggested donation of a higher amount, though we always want to be able to offer the $15 to all our regular dancers.
Please pay what is possible for you, honoring the level of work and devotion it takes to put on a weekly dance!
