We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot) This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK) If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK 2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language) This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators No Talking from the Dancers 3. We Dance as We Are No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.

A name that was bestowed upon me by Hindu monks while traveling through India on a spiritual journey many years ago. Pranava is far beyond a single being or individual form it it is omnipotent. A name and sound that unites us as we gather together singing and chanting the many names of the divine, celebrating life and dancing to the rhythm and beat of the indigenous cultures around the globe."
