🌟The Holidays are just around the corner… and so is our final Neighbourhood Moves workshop of the year!! We thought we’d introduce ya to this month’s venue... the iconic Cotton Factory 🌟

The Cotton Factory is a Creative Industries complex in East Hamilton. In the heart of lower Hamilton, this former cotton mill built in 1900 is a prime example of adaptive reuse. The former site of the Imperial Cotton Co. has been transformed into a creative industries complex, with space for workshops, studios for artists and office space for creative professionals. Film and TV productions, photographers and special events are also drawn to the building by its unique aesthetic and its historic charm.

We hope you can enjoy this unique space with us as we move & groove through that odd time between Christmas and New Years 🌀

📅 Saturday, December 27, 2025
📍 The Cotton Factory — 270 Sherman Ave N. Hamilton
🕛 2–4PM

Can you believe it? Our next Neighbourhood Moves workshop is only ONE WEEK AWAY & we're nearly sold out!! 🥳

This workshop offering is super special, because not only do we have our INCREDIBLE Artistic Associate, LOR , facilitating, but also, they're bringing in a VERY SPECIAL guest... DJ Savage Good 🤩🤩

❤️ LOR (she/they) is a Filipino q***r embodiment artist and facilitator, who invites people to move freely, breathe deeply, and feel more at home in their bodies. She weaves mindfulness, functional movement, free-form dance, and ritual into experiences that celebrate embodiment and authentic connection. Rooted in trauma awareness and guided by curiousity, LOR's offerings inspire self-exploration, play, and creative care, making space for movement that feels both nourishing and liberating. She's trained with GOODBODYFEEL, The 360 Emergence, The Embody Lab, Somatic Soul Coach School, and Downward Dog Yoga Center. LOR aims to empower folks, especially those made to be marginalized, to reconnect with their inherent wisdom, agency, and expression, and to build more trust and tenderness with themselves, their communities, and the world around them.

LOR has been collaborating with DJ Savage Good to bring a super special curation of music so you can move freely, in joyful dancing & release! 💫

Join us for Unbound: Dance & Release next Saturday, November 29th, but make sure you register ahead of time!! We're nearly sold out 🤯
