Be moved by beautiful Sufi rituals, sacred music, songs, chanting, poetry, and dance in prayers and Love!In this workshop and gathering, we will combine the sacred phrases, chants, music, and movements from ancient Persian spiritual traditions of Khorasan and Yarsan to help touch the spiritual essence within us and to help us recognize it in others. These fundamental elements compose the ancient, contemporary, and devotional roots of sacred dance.In this workshop/gathering we will experience:- Presence and surrender to Love.- Practice devotional embodiment and ancient Persian healing dance rituals.- The power of healing and love through poetry, zikr, and Sufi whirling (Iranian, Central Asian, and Turkish Rituals and Zikr)- The power of the sharing circle and acts of kindness and love toward self and others.- Dance and Music as prayer and spiritual transformation.
