At each gathering, a simple chant and a song will be led, and two or three short dances will be …

… THE BOX SF has a retail component that offers unique artisan and hand-crafted products, one-of-a-kind objects, accessories and cool artist-designed products along with small hand-crafted wines, CDs, books, apparel, short films on DVD, gifts and antiques.
