Overview
In times of intensity and uncertainty, this immersive day invites you to remain rooted, open, and fully alive as you connect with the Divine through sacred dance.
Through conscious movement rooted in ancient mysticism, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Divine Feminine wisdom, you’ll amplify and nurture what is life-affirming within you, grounding light into your body and restoring inner steadiness. Through Sama (whirling), you’ll open the expansive field of the heart, awakening authenticity, meaning, and purpose—igniting love as a force in motion. Guided meditation cultivates stillness, presence, and clarity, allowing you to listen beneath the noise and reconnect with what is essential.
By harmonizing your heart, mind, and body, you’ll activate inner coherence, and tend the heart as a garden amidst the flames, nurturing a sacred vision of freedom, peace, and stability for Iran and for our world.
In shared intention with like-hearted souls, embody what you long to see in our world.
Copies of Banafsheh’s new book, Dance of Oneness: Embody Love and Luminosity to Transform Your Life will be available for purchase, and she will be happy to sign them.
Register by 11:59pm Wednesday, April 1, to receive a special bonus meditation from Banafsheh to ground your energy and connect with higher guidance.
