Spirit Dance is a village dance ritual, an ecstatic dance for self-exploration, healing and community building.
Spirit Dance is a free-form dance. No experience is necessary and no instruction is given. Children are welcome if they can abide by the agreement that we make to refrain from conversation during the dance.

It is also possible for a group of human beings sitting in a circle to become one mind. This happens if everyone is filled with deep love and respect for one another. Such a gathering can create a beautiful energy that can bring good and healing to anyone entering the field.

Dancing is an ancient form of magic. The dancer becomes amplified into a being endowed with supra-normal powers. His personality is transformed. Like yoga, the dance induces trance, ecstasy, the experience of the divine, the realization of one's own secret nature, and, finally, emergence into the divine essence. The dance is an act of creation. It brings about a new situation and summons into the dancer a new and higher personality. It has a cosmogonic function, in that it arouses dormant energies which then may shape the world.
