I’m excited to be participating in this years HoopConvergence in Carrboro, NC. For information visit HoopConvergence.com.
“The first Hoop Convergence in 2008 brought together of a wide variety of hoopers from across the continent to create a synergistic learning environment where ideas, techniques, and energies were shared. This year, we’re putting together a full schedule of workshops, panel discussions, crafting sessions and community jams with lots of live music. The Convergence will be held in the beautiful Hooper Haven of Carrboro, North Carolina, an area rich with devout hoopers, grassroots communities and biodiversity. We’ll be bringing together the skills of talented teachers and performers from across the continent.
Come hoop for 4 days and 3 nights at Chestnut Ridge Retreat Center, just outside of Carrboro, NC. The retreat center rests on nearly 400 acres of beautiful NC forest.
Hoop Convergence honors the many paths of hoop dancers. Whether hooping is your personal spiritual practice, livelihood (through teaching or performance), your vehicle for social outreach and community building or ALL of these things, this gathering will inspire and enrich your journey.
This year’s convergence happens to fall on Mother’s Day. We wish for the hoopin’ mamas to treat themselves to this magical experience in celebration of life and love alongside our hoop-sisters and brothers.”
