Form the Ocean is a contra dance and creative retreat for women - the first of its kind!

An opportunity for movement, creating art together, and meaningful conversations. A space of our own to play and learn. We want you to leave this weekend feeling more connected to the national contra dance community of women and more able to meet the needs of your communities, your body, and your spirit.

Expect about 1/3 contra dancing, 1/3 making things and sharing skills, and 1/3 conversations that matter.
