It formed part of special occasions and rituals.Sacred dance helps bring about harmony between body, mind and spirit and creates a real sense of belonging and a feeling of togetherness. Dancing in a circle to beautiful music helps to develop a sense of community and offers moments of stillness, peace and healing for ourselves, our families, and our planet. It is a type of dance where anyone can join in. It is inclusive, enjoyable, and FUN.“Dance is an art that allows all of our body to express itself beyond boundaries. Sacred dance, ritual dance, and many other forms of dance allow individuals and communities to experience the grace and joy of being incarnated into a body.” Trauma therapist Dr. Jamie Marich“We can’t choose the music that life gives us, but we can choose how to dance to it.” Unknown "When I dance, I escape the present and become one with my soul.”Normani Kordei

Jan L. Richardson"….to share in creating with God, we give birth, too, when we create with our hands, offer hospitality, work for justice, or teach a child. We share in giving birth whenever we offer ourselves for healing, for delight, for transformation, for peace and we become, as German mystic Meister Eckhart wrote @mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born.’ Jan L.
