The Innerdance is a music-based, meditative, healing journey, It involves the use of special soundscapes that mimic circadian rhythms and enable people to move effortlessly between different brain wave states. As a result, people experience an expanded sense of awareness and altered states of consciousness.
In this space of unlimited possibilities, very profound and mystical things can happen. Common movements in the Innerdance include drug-free psychedelic experiences, life regressions, circadian rhythms, near-death experiences, kundalini activations, and womb/birth memories.
Benefits may include nervous system regulation, circadian rhythm reset, mental clarity, inner peace, greater neural plasticity, increased intuitive discernment, emotional regulation, improved self-esteem, etc.

Presenter Dr. Daniel Potter, Professor Emeritus, University of Kentucky will discuss
why Monarch butterflies are in peril, why their conservation matters, and the important partnerships between the Horticulture Industry and the gardening public can help to restore this beloved native butterfly to a sustainable status.
The fascinating natural history of the monarch, its spectacular long-distance migrations, and its special relationship with milkweed, as well as the best milkweed species for attracting and sustaining monarchs and native bees in gardens will be discussed in this program. Dr Daniel Potter, Professor Emeritus of Entomology at the University of Kentucky will also discuss research showing the importance of garden design, and plant placement and that cultivars of native milkweeds (“nativars”) have conservation value for gardens. Attend and learn how to prevent a garden from becoming an “ecological trap” for monarchs due to predation by invasive wasps or planting the wrong type of milkweed.
Presentation is free, and registration with Eventbrite is required.
