We will share in a variety of Spring rites including discussion, guided meditation, expressive dance.  A good portion of our time together will be sharing in traditional Balkan, Roma. Armenian, Near Eastern, and modern sacred circle dances. We will be specifically focusing on Romani dances in honor of the World Roma Congress 50th Anniversary on April 8. 

Throughout all ages and cultures, traditional circle dances were used to honor the divine, to heal, to affirm connection to the earth and each other, to build community and celebrate rites of passages and life transitions. The danced patterns illuminate the web of these connections. It is where personal and universal healing can occur.

The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing, life, and celebration!
