An Atlanta pastor once frowned at me for offering a casual Tarot reading in the church Fellowship Hall ... so what would he have to say about the 8:18 Circus of the Spirit at the Unity in Chicago Church?
" Serpentine strands of colored lights festoon the front of the church sanctuary and dry-ice smoke pours from behind the DJ's booth ... Thrumming beats of electronica music fill the dance floor and blend with tribal thumping from the drum circle going full blast in the "friendship room" downstairs. On the dance floor, men, women and children groove with limb-flailing abandon, a troupe of belly dancers wearing traditional garb swing their naked midriffs, and a circle of 19 people hold hands while contorting their bodies into a series of yoga postures ... Down the hall, a tarot card reader shuffles her deck at a table in one of the church's many alcoves, while teenagers lounge on their backs staring at projections of undersea life on the ceiling of the "chill-out" room."
In Chicago? Check out this "life positive" event on the first Friday of every month. 8:18 Circus of the Spirit kicks offs at -- when else? -- 8:18 PM.

As an energy healer, Tarotista and world music fan who studied bellydancing for many years, This sounds like my kinda party! :-D
