In the Sacred Circle we will join our hearts in dance, song, breath and prayer to receive deep healing for our full being. Journeying through embodied prayers and intentions we will embrace dance as movement medicine for the heart. This will be the ninth year Miriam Peretz & Alper Akçtay come together to offer this transformational journey. Together they will weave their knowledge and practices rooted in sacred dance forms, Sufi ritual and whirling, Alevi Bektashi Sema dances, and traditional Central Asian dances, many rooted in Shamanic wisdom traditions. Several special guest live musicians will accompany the immersion, including percussionist Faysal Maćit who will offer daily frame drum classes. This year the immersion will be held in a new location, Yenice Vadi, a beautiful and quiet setting surrounded by nature. We will explore movement sessions in nature, bringing the dances back to their roots, as well as take a special day trip to the nearby beautiful beach.
