Dance of Oneness®: Living Ecstasy

Banafsheh Sayyad

Are you a dance partner to ecstatic joy? Do you tap the limitless flow of source energy while driving to work? We are not likely to soar with the lofty Divine without first feeling it here and now.

Banafsheh Sayyad, creator of Dance of Oneness, brings techniques that align energy phenomena with powerful movement and ancient ritual to people around the world. An electrifying international dancer and choreographer, Banafsheh is an authentic culture-bearer of Persian Dance and has resurrected this powerful, mesmerizing, and little-known ancient expression of Yin energy, and combined it with flamenco, Tai Chi, and Sufi practice to create Dance of Oneness.

With the accompaniment of Tony Khalife's magical live music, journey into Oneness: dance, whirl, meditate, chant, yoga, laugh, share, and experience the poignant prose of Rumi and Hafez. This workshop invites you to:

• Actively open and balance your chakras through corresponding movement, conscious ecstatic dance, hypnotic music, and stillness

• Draw in, feel, and share vital source energy

• Learn Banafsheh's mystical dance and expand your own creative expression to move into a place of living a continuously inspired, passionate life

• Choose the best-feeling emotion in any given situation and dance your way to constructive, excitement-based thoughts

Take home a chakra-balancing movement meditation practice that supports being totally and passionately alive. The workshop includes live performance and is a free-form dance and music celebration. All levels welcome. Please a bring yoga mat.
