Native Middle Eastern Dance
Cycle, Durham NC
At a special RTP Dance
Meeting & Worship Service,
reclaim the real meaning of
Easter through the Native Middle
Eastern Dance Cycle: Seasonal
Invocations to the Goddess and
the return of the Universal
Goddess Worship Circle. In the
Dance cycle, we travel the Wheel
of the Year from Solstice to
Equinox and the holy
Cross-Quarter Days in between.
Our combined body prayers are
focused toward peace in the
Middle East as we summon the
power of Unity in its earliest
manifestation as "She Who is
Oneness." In the Worship Circle,
we call the directions, invoking
the Great Mother from different
traditions, and share an
experiential practice of
embodying Divine Feminine
Presence. Open to all. $5-$10
suggested. Music Explorium
Community Room, 5314 Highway 55,
Suite 107, Durham NC; $5-10
suggested. Contact:
