Sacred Dance

Sacred dance (devotional eurythmy) is meditative movement to prayers and sacred texts. Through gestures and sacred forms, the heart’s offering in prayer weaves an ethereal fabric between the individual and the spiritual world which sustains an inner field of spiritual activity. Sacred dance unites the soul of the individual with higher realms of consciousness through an expression of love offered through one’s whole being. Sacred dance, whether done individually or in a group, serves to open one to spiritual and religious dimensions of experience.
