Feeling replenished down to the cellular level. Baraka Braden
The sensation of people circling & singing felt as if a wave of loving energy enveloped me as I danced in the inner circle.... Sus Austill
What a glorious evening this was. All day today the song "I will walk you to heaven" has been playing in my head. Wow, that group can sing as well as dance. Thanks for making this happen. Love, Susan Cary

For a Sufi, the diversity of names and forms of the world's many religious tendencies are like veils covering the phenomena of the "Spirit of Guidance" manifested at all levels of evolution.

Katie McIntyre: What a nice turn out. I was so proud of our neck of the woods representing! What great singing there was. What fine stories. I think what I Love most about the Dances, is that they are something we can pass along. Like all Oral Traditions they can be taken anywhere & will never be too much to carry. Through The Dances I feel connected to people of all loving traditions near & far. Those songs & dances are something indispensable & irreplaceable; easily carried in our hearts.
I adored hearing Taj's voice & learning her dances. As always, I adore DiAnahita's Beauty & Grace: so Ruth St. Denis. Thanks again to Mary Fukuyama & the glorious flute music that floated above our voices -- intertwining our songs with the Stars. Thank you to the drummers who carried our footsteps across the sweet earth. Thank you so much "Lumen" for your angelic contributions on guitar & mic!
