A Belated New Year’s

I celebrated New Year’s Eve this year at Goli’s place. She lives in this beautiful house up on Sonoma Mountain, overlooking all of Santa Rosa and beyond. It’s a view that I’ve never seen during the daylight hours, and I may not get the chance. Goli’s apparently moving to Sebastopol!

Anyway, she had a kickass party right at the height of the flooding. In fact half the road leading up to her house washed out that night. But that didn’t stop like every hippie on this side of Sonoma County from showing up. In fact because of the weather, a group of performance artists (including Kandice Korves of Holistic Hooping) who had planned to put on a show in the city decided to stay and perform for us. I thought I took some killer pictures, considering I had no tripod and probably held a half-consumed bottle of champagne in one hand.

Yes, that’s a hula hoop. On fire.

I’ve put the rest up on flickr: New Year’s Eve Fire Dance. Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing these photos with the community Justin…our camera died two pictures into the prayerformance. The 101 flooding and some pretty powerful divination cards kept us from venturing to the city for our big gig. I am grateful for the signs from the Universe to ‘keep it close to home’ that night. And we were beautifully rewarded with a cool party to go to, new friends to meet, and another opportunity to share our message of reunification with the Elements-Earth, Air, Water, Fire. What a wonderful night it was!!!
