SideStream Studio Presents
Dancing with the MOON with Taina Lyons
Join Taina Lyons for a monthly somatic New Moon Circle at Sidestream Studio in Brattleboro!!
This will be a nourishing and honest space for movement, reflection, sharing, and co-created ritual. We'll improvise with the physical, emotional, spiritual, collective, and energetic ingredients participants bring.
My intention is to support femme and queer folks to deepen their self-awareness and expand their creativity through ritual, movement, connection, and play.
I invite you to get in tune with your inner cycles of waxing and waning energy, creativity, light & darkness! This space is for you whether you have a menstrual cycle or are working with a personal or archetypal cycle.
Wear clothing you're comfortable moving in and bring a journal.

Movement Arts Showcase
SideStream Studio Presents a Night of Dance and Connection
Brattleboro, VT – SideStream Studio is producing a dance performance with local choreographers and dancers focusing on the theme of connection and disconnection. The show, entitled “Connecting through Disconnection,” will take place Saturday, March 11 th , at 7pm - followed by refreshments and a lively conversation about the power of art society.
These dance pieces will investigate the human need for connection not only to each other, butto the planet, to the universe, and to the spiritual realm. The medicine of connection is thesalve that heals the wounds created by a divisive society. When we feel separated from others, it is easier to judge, condemn, shame. When we connect through empathy, compassion, conversation, understanding, we then stand in the beauty of the collective consciousness. Yet to know what it is to be truly connected; we also must embrace the silhouette of disconnection.
All things are also their opposite. Disconnection is entwined with journey of the ego. The need to feel like a separate individual is a crucial part of our human experience that is worthy of generous exploration.
SideStream studio is creative arts venue designed to provide a space to rediscover your wild side. They are committed to bringing a vibe that facilitates an energy of authentic expression and the freedom to be your radical self. Co-owners Toni Nagy and Leanne Horvath are passionate about forming an atmosphere that challenges convention, embraces creativity, dances with shadows, and plays in the mud of genuine joy.
Come support your local community of dancers and choreographers. It will be a night of
organic, fair trade, local, biodynamic, homegrown Vermont artistic expression. Tickets are $15
and can be purchased at www.sidestreamstudio.com
