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: Farrunnissa 919 361-2383 |
