GROOVE CIRCLE at Orange Door Collaborative – Cambridge, MA

An intimate & feisty rhythmic chanting party to restore your energy and reclaim your power!

(Think “kirtan singing meets sober rave”)

Hey there aging ravers, wise young souls, raging (peri)menopausal femmes, spiritual seekers, diaspora queerdos, AFAB enbys & third-culture kids-at-heart:

If you’re bored of bar-hopping, tired of pub crawls, so over hangovers, and fed up of dead-end connections…

…you’re warmly invited to this sober-curious, soft-clubbing-style conscious creative communal gathering instead!

Together we’ll sing and move, hum and wail, shake and shout, tune in and drop out, soften and deepen and open in truthful and honest expression — all supported by original tunes, funky beats, groovy basslines…and a super fun 80s aesthetic that your inner child will LOVE.

Plus you can be in bed by 10pm!
