Wild Roots Dance & Yoga

Slow down time with Brazilian Zouk, this November at Wild Roots!

Ever wish you could slow down time? In Brazilian Zouk, weight and elasticity let partners stretch a single moment until the music seems to pause around them. No two dances look the same.

Adrian Wilson and Nicki Pepper J are bringing a six-week Brazilian Zouk series to Wild Roots Dance & Yoga, presented by the Victoria Latin Dance Association. Adrian has trained in Brazil and is studying the Method Alex de Carvalho, which breaks Brazilian Zouk movement down into its key elements. Nicki has danced since age three and spent the past five winters training across Latin America, where she fell for Brazilian Zouk, Lambada and Forró, and she’s excited to be teaching in her hometown again.

Join us for this very special gathering. As we enter the sacred season of Samhain, we gather around the turning of the Wheel, beneath the Hunter’s full moon and the last glow of autumn.

The earth settles into stillness, the harvest is gathered, and the veil between the worlds is said to grow thin. This is a time to honour our ancestors and the wisdom of those who walked before us, to give thanks for the gifts of the season and to gently release what we no longer need to carry. As the land moves into darkness and rest, we too are invited to turn inward, listen deeply and make space for the seeds of new beginnings.

Our evening together will consist of:
🌟Opening Circle, Intentions & Candle Ritual
🌟Release: Breathwork, Guided Dance Circle & Rosemary Bundles
🌟Reflect: Oracle Readings & Journaling
🌟Call In: New Year Spell Jars
🌟Celebration: Apple C***r & Snacks
🌟Closing Circle

This will be a time of reflection, release and celebration. We will let go of what has gone before and celebrate what lies ahead.........

Rest: A Gong Bath Experience with Eve Carty

Enjoy stillness & sound with us at Wild Roots.

Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
Time: 4:30 – 6:00 pm
Self-care Investment: $35 per person

Give yourself permission to slow down and unwind in this deeply nurturing specialty class.

The experience begins with a gentle guided meditation to help quiet the mind, relax the body, and settle you into the present moment. From there, you'll be immersed in the rich, resonant vibrations of the gong as its powerful yet soothing tones fill the space, inviting you into a state of deep rest and relaxation.

Throughout the experience, the gong is thoughtfully complemented by the delicate sounds of singing bowls, chimes, and other therapeutic sound instruments, creating a layered and immersive soundscape.

As the sounds and vibrations gently wash over you, you're invited to simply rest, receive, and let go.

You'll spend most of the class resting comfortably on your mat, supported by props to help your body fully relax.

No previous experience with meditation or sound healing is necessary. This class is suitable for students of all levels.
