Dance beneath the trees, nestled between the baseball diamond and track field.
Subaqueous AKA Isaac Cotec has been immersed in Ecstatic Dance since 2012, beginning in Seattle and touring the world with his own music before returning to focus on curating and DJing for conscious movement communities. From 2017 to 2019, he was a regular DJ and music curator at Muse Dance, shaping musical journeys, supporting other DJs, and helping develop guidance for creating intentional dance experiences.
In late 2017, Isaac co-founded Ecstatic Dance Records with PJ from Corvallis, collaborating with DJs, facilitators, and musicians worldwide to produce releases and educational resources that connect the global Ecstatic Dance community.
Beyond DJing, Isaac leads archetype movement workshops, exploring embodiment, energy, and emotional arcs through dance. He continues to DJ for Ecstatic Dances, partner dances, and community gatherings such as Fernhill, bringing a full spectrum of expression and intention to every journey.
Isaac’s approach integrates dance phases, Five Rhythms, and archetypal frameworks, seeing each musical journey as a living arc designed to guide participants through exploration, release, and authentic embodiment.
“These downtempo sonic journeys tell intentions of ancient tales and reveal the depth of Isaac Cotec’s entity, an escape into inner guidance through tides of twilight.” - Sofia Raisanen on Reality Sandwich

Bon Bon Spirit at Fernhill Park
Warm up at 11:30am, opening Circle at 12. Join us in the sun at the park unless weather changes!
Bonbon Spirit (AKA PJ Weinstein) is an event producer, music remixer, and DJ operating in service of conscious movement. Guided by deep personal practices in ecstatic dance, 5Rhythms, contact improvisation, and Fusion Dance, Bonbon Spirit has anchored dance floors across the West Coast since 2011. Their career spans more than 700 DJ sets! Currently the resident DJ for Ecstatic Dance Corvallis, they also play in the rotation at Coalessence Dance in Eugene and Fernhill Dance in Portland. Between 2011 and 2019, they played regularly at the legendary Ecstatic Dance Oakland.
The Bonbon Spirit sound relies on an expansive, eclectic curation that bridges electronic and organic beats. Sets move fluidly across genres, ranging from angelic ambient compositions to driving, uptempo electro depending on the needs of the moment. Rather than executing a rigid playlist, they arrive with a rough palette of musical ideas, composing the final journey in direct response to the collective field of dancers. This live, improvisational dialogue is always spiced with a few novel remixes of beloved classics. Beyond the DJ table, Bonbon Spirit founded Amoeba Dance, directs Immersion retreats at Breitenbush Hot Springs, and has collaborated in live performance with prominent artists including Donna DeLory, Little Star, Kyrstyn Pixton, eO, Gabriel Gold, and Kelly Atkins.

Flint Blade at The Den
Warm up at 11:30am, opening Circle at 12. Join us at the Den this week
Flint Blade weaves sonic textures for the ecstatic dance-floor and beyond to create uplifting soundscapes live in the moment, with a special hybrid set combining live DJing and spontaneous live-looping for a unique ecstatic journey of the soul.
Channeling inspiration via electronics, beatbox, vocals and various world instruments, Flint has made a name for himself by mastery of the Chapman Stick — a rare instrument most people have never seen before.
Invented in 1969 California, the Stick combines bass and guitar into a full-range fretboard played exclusively by two-handed tapping; conjuring rich tapestries of sound full of whimsy and wonder.
Based in South Florida, Flint tours nationally, performing on festival stages, ecstatic dance floors and conscious spaces across the country while releasing beautiful bangers on High Vibe Records and his own label, In Love Records.
Drawing influence from diverse musical traditions, Flint is known to swirl it all in: ethereal new age; dub reggae; jazz; downtempo electronica and high energy house music all culminate into a signature “Jambient” sound that brings people out of their heads, into their bodies and onto the dance floor.

Man Dance at the Den
Brought to you by Fernhill Dance,

Now @ The Den, 116 SE Yamhill St
This month with DJ Permissionary (AKA Ty)
After sharing, we will move into a men's only ecstatic dance container, where we'll have a chance to get primal, get real, get spirit-y, get connected, and get down! As always, in keeping with the ecstatic vibe, it'll be a choose your own adventure scenario, but we will provide some structural pieces to allow for the whole range of masculine energies to show up: from a slower, contact improv-y area with mats (The Muddle Puddle) to a faster, more rough and tumble area (The Mesh Pit).
This is a container for anyone who identifies as a man. Queer and trans friendly.
Warm Up/Doors Open - 6:30
Opening Circle - 7:05
Dance from @ 7:15 - 9ish.
Closing Circle after Dance.
Sliding Scale: $15 - $25
This month's DJ: DJ Permissionary

Bring drums or other percussive elements! We'll have an organic breakdown mid-set where we drop out the amplified sound and get our groove on the old fashioned way.

Hail Mary at Fernhill Park

Opening Circle at 12!
Sliding Scale $15-$33 kids are free!
The name Hail Mary pays homage to my deep reverence and devotion to the Blessed Mother in her many forms—may Our Lady comfort our vulnerability and infuse every set and every dance floor with her unconditional love.
I aim to create sacred, sensory-rich events that empower and uplift, inviting movement, emotion, and divinity to awaken within.
My mission is to co-create spaces where music, story, and shared intention deepen our connection to life and each other.
In my ceremonial spaces, I offer refuge for unapologetic expression, safety, and soulful transformation through music.

Dance Beltane!
It's that magical time again!
The Spring has Sprung!
And so have we in many ways!
As we Weave Deeper
and with ever-more wide-open Eyes and Hearts,
This precious Community Basket.
The Summer Heat is nigh,
Bodies bared in the Sun.
And we will glisten, and steam
And Make Merry.
The Eros of Creation drinks from our chalice of Cultivated Joy.
The World delights in being Celebrated.
We do our part to turn the wheel in a Beauty Way.
Beltane! Our High Holy Fernhill Holiday will be held with all proper adornment and celebration on May 3rd at Fernhill Park.
Begin to dream of FLOWERS and frocks, and ribbons and picnics, and coming together to witness each other after a long winter to be ASTOUNDED by the depth and beauty we have been growing week by week all winter long.
There will be Ritual, and Song, and DANCING, and a Ceremony of Potent Eros.
Last year, Tyson and became handfasted, and it has exceeded anything we could have dreamed in potency for us personally-- but also seeded SO MUCH love into the community...
This year there will be a dedicated place with witnesses for ANYone in any configuration wishing to consecrate a joining of energies, a comittment to growth, pledge an oath, make a promise, or renew vows... May the power of this Portal be harnessed by all of us to strengthen our Resolve to Grow, together in Love.
More to come, Loves.
Always more.
And Always Love.
Blessed Bee!
Come grab your picnic spot at 12:12, music starts at 1:11, Maypole at 3pm!

Now @ The Den, 116 SE Yamhill St
This month’s theme: Telling the Truth in Relationships
We all want the fairy tale version, the deep love, the happily ever after. But, in the real world, relationships are a negotiation between sovereign individuals to foster and create connection that feeds both (or all) of the individuals. Relationships call on us to speak up, and speak truth. But sometimes we don’t! Or can’t. And sure, this could be willful manipulation or gaslighting to serve a selfish agenda. But most often our intentions are good, and we hold back for other reasons: to protect others, to protect ourselves. Maybe we are confused, or don’t know because we haven’t excavated the deeper truth from our unconscious. Join us this month to explore yours and other men’s experiences around truth-telling with intimate partners and friends.
After sharing, we will move into a men's only ecstatic dance container, where we'll have a chance to get primal, get real, get spirit-y, get connected, and get down! As always, in keeping with the ecstatic vibe, it'll be a choose your own adventure scenario, but we will provide some structural pieces to allow for the whole range of masculine energies to show up: from a slower, contact improv-y area with mats (The Muddle Puddle) to a faster, more rough and tumble area (The Mesh Pit).

Bon3_Dust is the alias of Portland’s emerging bass, house, techno, and ecstatic community DJ Dustin Hermann.

Through the power of music, community, and flow, difficult emotions can be broken down into the dust from which they came. What could such a journey do for you?

Fernhill Sleepover
Our Fernhill Ecstatic Dance Community is pretty awesome, right? We get to dance and play together every week, and it just keeps getting better.
And sometimes we need to spend time together in a silly, TALKING POSSIBLE space (lol) to get to know each other in new ways and deepen the magic even more!
Sometimes non-structured time together is where the Revolution is brewed. ;)
Enter... the Fernhill Sleepover!
This is a very special container that offers some of the magical potential of a Fernhill Retreat... but with WAY more accessibility and at a fraction of the price!!
This is a place for us to BE ourselves with each other. A place to share food, dance, cuddle, make blanket forts and have pillow fights, do arts n' crafts, drink hot cocoa... and... maybe a talent show? Karaoke? A movie?
Best yet-- In the morning we will have some time to meditate, do yoga, drink coffee and share a FULL BREAKFAST-- right before we clean up our sleeping bags and get ready for SUNDAY DANCE in the very same space!!
How fun, right?!?! Kinda the dream. :)
Here's a rough schedule:
Saturday 1/17
4PM Arrival
5PM Potluck Dinner (we will have a spreadsheet to be sure it is AWESOME)
6:30-8:30- Arts n' Crafts with Dan'el, Vision Boards with Kyle, or Squish Lab with Raynesong! (or all three! or just freetime!)
8:30-11:00 BOOGIE TIME with K.Maitri and Permissionary
11:11- Pillow Fight! With Cap'n Carl MCing
Post Pillow-Fight:-- Movie n' popcorn in the side room, and talentshow/songcircle/karaoke shananigans in the main room. Make a nest, drink hot cocao, cuddle, chill, vibe. <3
In the Morning 1/18:
