How to Participate
1) Sign up for a time slot
Reserve a 30-minute window for yourself or your group (we can accommodate up to 4 people in the space should you like to experience this with your people).
2) Arrive at Lamplight
Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled time to help us keep things on schedule.
3) Bring an offering (optional but encouraged)
You are invited to bring a small object, material, artifact, or gesture as an offering to the altar. This can be something personal, symbolic, found, or made; an expression of memory, intention, grief, devotion, or transformation. We will have some materials available for you to contribute a written prayer, spell or incantation to the altar on site.
4) Enter the experience
Your offering to the altar will be translated into a moving meditation, shared with you directly during our time together. Come with an open heartmind, ready for connection, attention, and exchange.
Additional Notes
- No prior performance experience is needed (we’ll do the dancing).
- The space will be held with care; you are welcome to engage at your own pace and comfort level.
- Late arrivals may result in a shortened experience out of respect for others’ time.
