03.01.2022 If you're feeling sad, hopeless, frustrated or furious after the fires, and wanting to move those emotions, connect with others and channel your emotions into action, then Soul Dance has organised a dance-based grief and empowerment ritual based on the Deep Ecology work of Joanna Macy. It's also a fundraiser for the wildlife refuge that burnt down in Goongerah in the East Gippsland fires. Love to see you there!
