DANCE TEMPLE GATHERING
AUGUST 8-10, 2025 • PROVIDENCE FARM, COWICHAN VALLEY
We gather with reverence on the traditional and unceded territories of the Quw’utsun (Cowichan) Tribes, honouring the ongoing stewardship, rich cultural traditions, and resilience of the Hul’q’umi’num-speaking, Coast Salish peoples.
A sacred weave of music, movement & community
You’re warmly invited to a first-of-its-kind gathering: a convergence of Dance Temples from across the land.
Together, we’ll weave a weekend of transformation, deep connection, and wild joy — rooted in reverence for the land, the lineages that guide us, and the living spirit of ecstatic dance.
Be a part of the growing community of dancers, dreamers, and embodied creators as we celebrate presence, healing, and co-creation under open skies.
“Always a grounding and exhilarating experience… a welcoming and open space for self expression.”

Indigenous dancers and knowledge-keepers will help guide our collective learning and healing journey.
A Weaving of our Communities Together
An opportunity to make new friends, and strengthen our bonds.
An invitation to co-create an environment of respect, consent, and awareness—a place where clear minds support open hearts, allowing us to move, groove, play, pray, and plant seeds of beauty together.
COME BE PART OF THE MAGIC ✨
This gathering is for the entire Dance Temple family—our DJs, workshop facilitators, space holders, and each and every dancer who has contributed to making this movement what it is today. Our core team is mindfully curating this event to showcase the diverse rhythms, tempos, and flavours that make our community unique.
You are invited to bring your energy, creativity, and open heart. Whether you’re dancing with every part of your being or holding space in stillness, each expression of your presence is vital to the collective journey.
