DiAnahita is known nationally as a premier dance leader in the southeast, & locally as a caring, inclusive, & effective mentor with a clear, joyful, friendly style.  Dedicated to spreading the message of Love, Harmony, & Beauty through offering Dances at her woodland estate, she also facilitates a Sufi Circle in Gainesville, & leads dances at special events around Florida.

Repeat
Some say Namaste, some say Mitakuye Oyasin,
some say Om, some say Shalom.

We all call mother earth
our home.

Protect her, respect her,

We all affect her.
DiAnahita will be presenting Dances of Universal Peace for participation at 1:00 & 4:00
Resonses to our Feb. Healing Dance:
Exceeded my expectations.  Sunday was one of the best days I can remember.  My spirit was full; I was filled with a feeling I cannot explain but I liked it & want more. My spiritual growth is leading me down this path & I look forward to more time at Peacock Paradise.  Peace & Love, Lynn :-)
Beautiful. Thank you!   It was such a pleasure meeting you,
& being there with you all. 
Much gratitude, Galen & Emily
Hazrat Inayat Khan & his family
A lady asked him: "Do you ever take interest in such a frivolous thing as dancing?" He said: "Yes, I too feel inclined to dance when I am with little children."
You are the face of God

You are the face of God
I hold you in my heart,
You are a part of me
You are the face of God

Dear DiAnahita, 
      I want to reach out & say thank you for creating such a wonderful dancing community.
I  really  love  seeing  all  the opportunity pop into my inbox you are creating for people to join  this  beautiful  practice.  Much Love & dancing with you in spirit,                Samantha
Thank you so much for Saturday & the healing songs & dances we did. They were  indeed  healing  and  allowed me to finally let out the tears that I had been holding in for so long.  Sitting by the lake with the beautiful reflection of clouds & trees on the still surface was the perfect place to get in touch with these feelings while I sang.         Thank you for sharing yourself & your piece of Mother Earth with us in such a loving & meaningful way.    No Name please
I loved every moment - the Dances so special to all who shared them, & the wonderful people I met. 
Warm thanks for allowing us to participate & share this moment.
Big hug from Gabby
