Dance of the Moons

Women’s Dance Ceremonies Honoring The Natural Cycle Of The Moon

The Subud Center

Subud California at Santa Cruz, a non-profit corporation and spiritual center, welcomes you to our home in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. We are located in the Soquel Creek valley, a semi-rural area surrounded by redwoods and oaks. There are hawks, owls, and occasional deer sightings from our back door.

We offer a meeting place which has a peaceful, spacious atmosphere for workshops, day-long retreats, ongoing classes, and seminars. We request that no alcoholic beverages be served on-site, and that smoking occurs outside only.

History In 1869, a one-room school house was built on this site. In 1893, it was replaced by the current structure, which served as the school building for the Mountain School District until 1972, when it was purchased by Subud California. Many local residents attended school here.

Two Large Rooms: The North Hall and the South Hall

North Hall

This room has a wood floor and a carpet which can be rolled up for dance events or sit-down meals. This room is suitable for drumming circles, ceremonies, as well as smaller workshops and classes where a more intimate setting is desired. Film showings and simple stage productions or rehearsals can also happen here.
