      The Goddess Choir will offer the closing song experience at Sol Dance
I have been dropping into DJ Scott Houston's sparkling dance communities for over a decade and I was no less than thrilled to be invited with The Goddess Choir to offer a musical integration piece at the closing of the next ecstatic Sol Dance event outside at Brook Run Park. This community will light you up! Don't dream of dancing outside in the grass with community. Come to Sol Dance! You will be welcomed here. Come experience connection, authentic expression, and personal transformation. Sol Dance events offer a substance-free, judgment-free container where you can move freely, release stress, and reconnect with your body, heart, and community. Feel the spark of life. 
I created The Goddess Choir in 2020. Our songs are meant to be sung in community where the interweaving of parts and harmonies has the potential to open up our hearts, to soothe our souls, to acknowledge our deep truths and longings for connection, freedom, forgiveness, empowerment, joy, and the divine. Through song we nourish ourselves so we may face the world and all of its complexities. Let's sing our hearts out! 
Can't make it to the event? Follow The Goddess Choir to learn about upcoming gatherings.
