Motif is back!

Last year, we initiated Motif after a desire to create a communal and interactive event that would bring people together with a foundation in Middle Eastern music, dance, and trance - kicking off the Tribal Fest weekend with something that that would invigorate your body, mind, and spirit. Participants were enthralled and begged us to do it again - so you asked for it, here it is!

Motif is an experimental gathering, merging music, dance, and ritual, limited to only 40 participants. It will take place in the large classroom at the Youth Annex in Sebastopol, CA (part of the TF9 grounds). Please arrive promptly BY 8pm, and expect to participate until 10pm (no late arrivals, no in/out). This is NOT a performance - it is a communal interaction led by Lee Ali, Tempest, and Karim Nagi. The event will have a formal beginning to awaken our space, and will be guided throughout the evening by the lead dancers and musicians, and have a formal conclusion.

Participants are welcome to bring rugs, pillows, and beverages. Musicians are also welcome to bring their instruments, dancers - come prepared to dance!

Tickets are $10 per person. The paypal button is now down, but tickets will be available at the door until we reach 40 people. See you there!
