On Thursday fortnightly, merfolk of all species gather at Aruba subsea dome. Invitations are sent via group channel. You can find the date in my calendar as well.
DJ Crim gets your fins pumping with atmospheric rock and pop music. Of course, he is also happy to receive your music requests.
A raffle provides entertainment and variety. For to join, just touch the board. It's free of risk, and it's worth it!
Also, you can support a charity. It is not pushy. To find the board you’ll have to look around a bit.
The merdance dome welcomes new guests again and again. The conversations of all the dance guests are witty and stimulating. But many enjoy just drifting in this colorful subsea world, far from leggers‘ affairs.

The quaint Moon Rabbit Café is located on an idyllic Mainland road. The lake belonging to the house is frozen now in winter, ice skates invite to skate. The terrace is comfortably furnished and invites to linger convivially.
On Tuesdays, Miss Violet hosts a garden party. Every first Friday of the month, as well. Here, sociable and friendly people meet under a cheerful sky and enjoy Violet's invigorating music selection.
On Sundays at noon (slt) people meet in the J & R BALLROOM. — DJ Violet spoils with swinging music that makes legs move. Charming Maria hosts.
During this event, Maria also hosts a TRIVIA game. The trivia questions are always dedicated to one theme, for example literature, geography, international cuisine. Thanks to Violet's lively music & thanks to Maria's charming moderation & thanks to the guests' witty answers & remarks, two hours fly by. — Merely drop by, it’s worth it!
This community also support my cinema BIRDLIGHTS in Seogyeo. And this cinema has recently been rebuilt.
So for tomorrow, Maria has prepared a trivia dedicated to MOVIE & CINEMA. If a special trivia question is answered correctly, then I will give away a small gift. And if not, then even more so!

The J & R Ballroom was opened in October 2020. I already knew some of the organizators & participants personally, especially from the belly dance events on Ulukumbu. And I could not resist to produce a movie about that:
It is not quite easy here to distinguish who is guest or organizer. The leading letters of J & R Ballroom initially meant the organizers Juliette & Rain. But Juliette had to withdraw for the time being & may return soon. For her, Julian has stepped & will maybe stay. And if you now ask for Rain, you will hardly meet her at the evenings, but you will meet Maria. Well, Rain & Maria are the same person. And I think there are other people on the team.
Nor do they make any secret of it. In fact, they all act on the idea of not competing with each other, but supporting each other. They are all nice & helpful. And what may confuse at first glance is actually an expression of their creativity & zest for life. — I do enjoy that!
In a pavilion next to the ballroom you can get a ball gown & a tuxedo for free. So nothing stands in the way of a first visit!
The ballroom itself is decorated in the Art Deco style. In fact, the epoch of Art Nouveau is indulged here.
Music from the 1920s to the 1960s is the order of the day here. Violet plays music that gets your legs moving. Electro-Swing, Jazz, Charleston, Tango, Bolero. And of course she is happy about corresponding music wishes of the guests!
A charming feature is Mr Elegant. In the movie, I dance with him from 0:43 to 0:52. Mr Elegant appears when I click on the white cloud. And Jon tells me Mr Elegant is kind of a trial balloon. They want to see how he arrives & how he does. After all, they are already thinking about a kind of Miss Charming ...
The ballroom is not commercial at all. The TipJars are not obtrusively placed. I did have to look for them!
A donation board for a charitable cause is set up at the edge of the dance floor: The British organization Combat Stress - For Veterans' Mental Health supports former servicemen & women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety & depression.
Winter solstice was celebrated in Dreamshire on December 19, 2020. Crim being the wizard of tunes delighted the colorful congregation with spiritual, contemplative & joyful music.
But before & above all, we reflected on the spiritual meaning of this sacred moment of the year. I did not dare to film the intimate opening ceremony in its entirety. But the priestesses allow me to publish their invocation here. Take their blessings!
Priestess Julu:
I light this fire in your honour
Mother Goddess.
You have created
life from death, warmth from cold.
Since the beginning of time,
we have gathered in this season
to celebrate the rebirth of the Sun.
On the Winter Solstice,
the darkest of nights,
the Goddess becomes the Great Mother
and once again gives birth to the Sun
and the new yearly cycle,
bringing new light and hope
to all on Earth.
Priestess Jessie:
On the longest night of winter,
and the dark night of our souls,
there springs the new spark of hope,
the Sacred Fire,
the Light of the World.
We gather tonight to await the new light.
On this night, the Maiden,
who is also Mother and Crone,
prepares to welcome the Sun.
Let's now prepare
to welcome the new light within.
Priestess Juu:
I take the sprig of mistletoe,
cut that day in the sacred grove,
and places it on the fire
raising her arms to invoke blessing
The Sun lives once again, the time of light is waxing.
We invite you, Great Mother, to our circle.
Bring us new light, the light of your glorious Son.
turning to the people & opening wide her arms
Come, let us dance in celebration of the Light!
Closing:
As we celebrate this holidays time
with lights, songs, gifts, evergreens,
and other folkways
of our ancestors of many lands
let us remember the ancient and sacred spirit
of Winter Solstice - that of renewal, peace,
and interconnectedness.
As the days grow longer again
and we embrace Winter
and the new Calendar year
let us kindle within ourselves
a deeper awareness
of the Divine Circle of Nature
of which we are all part.
Let us celebrate our relationships
with our families, friends,
communities, cultures,
all of Nature, and the Divine.
May we be filled
with Joy, Love, and Harmony,
and this Spirit of Yuletide shine
within and around us
throughout the year,
as the Wheel of the Seasons
continues to turn.
Now 10 years ago a humble island saw the light of day & was tenderly named Auroro. In the meantime, Auroro has grown up into a golden pearl. In December 2020 it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Happy Birthday ✿ Auroro!
In cooperation with the owners I produced this movie for you. You wonder why the titles in the movie are trilingual? Well, this island is maintained by a couple. Dorina Landar is Hungarian. Babilonto Karu is German. Both offer to learn & practice Esperanto. No worries, they actually welcome any language on Auroro!
For to celebrate Auroro's 10th Anniversary, a party is planned:
Thursday,
Dec. 10th 2020,
11 – 13 h SLT
(20 – 22 h CET)

The oriental temple Oasis is located in Dreamshire City in the upper level. By the way, dance balls on Dreamshire Estate contain liquid dance animations of high quality. That makes fun!
There is no dresscode for this party. Sexually accentuated appearance or behavior will certainly result in warning.
DJane Martina sets up her equipment & installs the music. Do you see the thick glowing headphones? You can't escape her beats! Via Voice, she welcomes arriving guests again & again. Who arrives fresh, feels instantly welcome. None regrets that!
Joyce tells me, the party's name Leggers & Tails originally adresses steampunk people (leggers) & merfolks (tails). Also pirates & natives join in. Wonderfully mixed people here!
Hot club music drives the dancers. In general, the joy of life here is contagious. Too bad I can't stay that long, in the middle of the week. But I always come back here!

At Brody Castle in Scotland, some ambitious people perform wonderful
classical music on Sunday. People are really gentle here. I even have
met nice friends. Some of them play in the orchestra.
These events are immersive, indeed. The closer I sit to the orchestra, the farer I slip away, dreaming.

I have already reported on the party evenings on Auroro. They take place every Thursday at 11 a.m. (slt) and I like to visit them again and again. That's why I also enter them in my calendar.
I would like to add that they take place at different places depending on the season. But don't worry, Dorina & Babilonto care on the land settings. That means you always arrive in the right place.
Now in winter they take place in the ballroom. In the photo you can see me having landed before the stairway. I just have to walk upstairs. I am hearing that DJane Anja is really rocking today. I'm looking forward to that!

The island Ulukumbu is roleplay territory. Unfriendly visitors rather take care not to end up in the saucepan! Juluyeta is the tribe's Kumlalu. So-called civilized people may translate Kumlalu as spirit talker. Easily said, Juluyeta is the Ulukumbu's chieftess.
Juluyeta manages belly dancing on Saturdays at noon (slt). There is no dresscode, dance silk is welcomed. (Of course, pubic area is to be covered.)
With a howl the Ulukumbu greet each other and friends. Their zest for life is contageous! DJ Crim lets records sound, Oriental, Irish, Celtic. He is armed with vintage loudspeakers and welcomes requests as well. His bouncing sheep inviting to touch collects tips.
The colorful costumes and the lively music take me flying. Do not get me back!
I love to visit a dear girlfriend, who lives in French Riviera Village. This time we meet nice acquaintances at the mulled wine stall, and we babble about films, arts and pastime. We get on well, and the mulled wine proofs a certain something. Being unsure if I understood all, I think, I will repeat that soon.
Being member in the Visitor Group I am regularly informed about events.
Music and dance takes place on Thursdays on the pier at 11:00 am. (SLT) (20:00 MEZ)
Angus, Anja, Danny, they talk German, and each brings own program to the people. They stream music themed like Neue Deutsche Welle and Rock'n'Roll and Pop of the 1970s and Musical. They are nice, and they even fulfill unusual music requests! (Of course, I care that my request suits the theme of the evening.)
I always like to be here. And I persuade friends to come along. For example, you see me together with my Amayuma on one of the photos. We particularly like the cheerful mood among nice people. Also the seaside climate contributes to this, characterizing this island.
Since recently, Nimoui and Lily Chenier hold a belly dance event. It takes place on Ulukumbu, a new island west of Dreamshire. Some weeks ago Ulukumbu has emerged from the sea and is now linked with Dreamshire. Certainly, I will report on this extension!
Belly dance meets every Saturday at 12:00 SLT (21:00 UTC+2). It is announced in the group Friends of Dreamshire.
Yesterday I have been there again. This time I have appeared as Indian squaw. We have been about ten people. Even friends I have met. ♫ Happy mood with nice people with swinging music!
