The Eternal Dance of Capricorn & Aquarius
The end of one cycle, the beginning of a new. As Capricorn gives way to Aquarius, we come together as a beautiful community to celebrate transition, transformation and triumph. To be here, alive, and given the opportunity to move in unity as the stars whisper tales to us of a new and bright future… heaven. And while some navigate by stars… others by compass… others by google… this night, we together navigate by DANCE, and we do so held in the ridiculous talent of tonight’s artistic contributors, and in the warm glow of the unveiling of a reimagined Sunset Labs. 🙂 We hope you’ll join us!
