Whirling Workshop - Sacred Dance, Music, and Poetry

http://farimadance.com/documents/Sema3-4x6s.jpg

Open for all to participate. No experience needed.

Farima Berenji once again will be guiding our session. Note the change of location for this month to the Halanda Studio in San Jose.

Join us on a path for healing and self growth through the power of whirling, dance, poetry, Zikr (prayer), music, and stillness. In that journey, the promptings of the Inner Divine are found and loving kindness and compassion flow naturally into our dance and our daily lifestyle.

Included will be a short Sufi training and dance workshop helping people of all experience levels to whirl for a sustained period. Also taught will be shamanic rituals based on the religion of the sun, Mithraism.

Please wear white or light colored clothing and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you wish to turn avoid eating a large meal 1-2 hrs before. Feel free to bring a poem, story, or music to share. Our gathering welcomes musicians and other spiritual or healing teachers to come and share their art.

Your donation is greatly appreciated to help cover cost of rent.

"I attended a Persian Dance Workshop this weekend along with poetry, live music, and some performances. We practiced Sufi whirling. It was truly a magical experience. With the help and guidance of Farima Berenji, I was able to whirl quite comfortably for much longer than I thought I would be able to. And it felt so good."
