WAKE UP TO THE TRANCE DANCE EXPERIENCE Ancient places of power where our ancestors gathered to conduct sacred ceremonies, celebrating their connection to the earth, sky and to each other. These sites provided the focus for the community ritual where we danced all night around huge fires to celebrate the seasons and empower ourselves as one tribe united in spirit. As we danced on the earth the power of these sites was released into our bodies, giving us strength and connecting us to Gaia. Then the religions of fear took hold. They destroyed our sacred sites and our rituals, burning all who dared to question. But the power could not be suppressed forever and the great cycles of time have brought us full circle to this new moment and we gather once again. The ancient memory has been reawakened, the all night dance ritual has returned. We are once again experiencing the mystical power of the Trance. From the Earth's four directions come the ancient rhythms of the drum calling the children of the world to "Dance the dream of peace"...To give honor to the past and imagine the future...The circle dance emerges from the spirit of many sacred lands giving us a vision of hope that transcends the barriers between nations, races, religions and cultures to the roots of human life..when each rhythm comes together, it is the sound of peace and harmony finding the common thread to connect us one to another...again.
