We envision a world illuminated by people, purpose & products that make life happier and healthier in this dynamic dance called life.

Our mission is to provide quality equipment and services to inspire the growth of the flow arts and share in their positive effects. We wish to share these life-enhancing experiences, and provide you with quality props and amazing support to explore all the flow arts have to offer.

Our goal with Astral Hoops is to promote health, community, happiness, and innovation by supporting and encouraging hooping, flow arts, play, technology, wonder, and the transformational communities to which we belong!

Family-Friendly Fire Performances: the Full Moon Jams are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit, free-to-attend performances that take place once a month throughout the summer. Jams are family friendly! Events usually begin with a drum circle, and the fire performances pick up as night falls. All jams are from sunset to 10 pm.

Who are we?

Flow Collective Chicago is a diverse group of movers who express their art through flow. Flow Collective hosts monthly Workshops and Flow Jams that encourage all to join, regardless of experience.

What is a Flow Jam?

A Flow Jam is a community gathering where members come together to practice and share flow arts like: hula hooping, poi, fans, aerial acrobatics, juggling, fire dancing and more! We emphasize creative expression, skill sharing, safety and exploration of new skills and modalities!

Why should I join?

Our Flow Jams are welcoming, inclusive and encourage your authentic expression through movement. We encourage people who have never experienced flow but have curiosity in learning to join! For those of you who have experience, bring your props and good vibes and be open and willing to share your love of flow!
