Dancing, singing, storytelling and silence are the four universal healing salves.

In many shamanic societies, people who complain of being disheartened... or depressed would be asked,... When did you stop dancing? ... This is because dancing is a universal healing salve.

Life is sacred. Life is art. Life is sacred art.

We dance to reclaim our brilliant ability to disappear in something bigger, something safe, a space without a critic or a judge or an analyst.

Dance is movement, is action, and like all action, it reveals us to ourselves in the doing.

The self is a dance, constantly in motion.

Each of us is a moving center, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to bliss, to be swept away into something bigger than us.
