These enchanting movements and feelings come from a ancient past spanning 10\,000 years. Numerous archeological antiquities and temples have been found that show the connection between animals and dance. These animals were a symbol of the power of life and represented as a spiritual instrument and these seven sacred birds each represented a certain Persian God or Goddess. These rituals and movements are considered the earliest known form of Persian dance and the origin of sacred dance. \nPrice\nFull weekend dance intensive including Friday and Saturday evening events.\n$175 before March 15th or $225 thereafter \nDance workshops\, one day only 10:30PM-4:30PM (please specify Friday or Saturday)\n$100 before March 15th or $125 thereafter \nRegistration\nRegister ONLINE WITH PAYPAL\nOR\nRegister by mailing a cheque made out to: Cathy Stoyko\, PO Box 1196\, Cumberland B.C.

SUMMARY:Seven Cities of Love
DESCRIPTION:Seven Cities of Love – A Journey to Simorgh – Lecture\, Concert\, Workshop  \nThe Seven Cities of Love Concert is a dramatic music and dance performance led by three of the most distinguished artists from the Persian and Turkish cultures: Davod Azad\, Farima Berenji\, and Latif Bolat. Together with their colleagues they bring together soul-stirring mystical melodies\, and exquisite sacred dances of ancient worlds to illustrate mystical poetry in a tapestry of sound and colour\, gesture and motion\, word and breath\, to touch hearts and to open a window to pure transcendent beauty. \nThe performance draws inspiration from a masterpiece of classical Persian poetry\, Conference of the Birds\, by twelfth century Sufi poet Attar of Nishabur. Attar’s mystical allegory\, considered the jewel in the crown of Sufi tales\, speaks of the journey of the birds through the Seven Cities of Love to meet the king of birds\, the glorious Simorgh. This is an exposition of the humanity’s spiritual quest\, where all the souls of the world fly through seven spiritual states to seek their divine origin. \nFrom yearning and lamentation of the first city\, to passionate love of the second city\, to pure ecstasy in the seventh city\, the performance accompanies the audience in an exploration of the states of consciousness represented by this most profound tale. \nTickets: Standard £25\, concessions £20  \nIf you wish to book your places for the concert and the workshop please visit http://www.uniquecircle.co.uk. The tickets are also available to purchase at Istanbul Grill Restaurant in Cheadle.  \nRead more… \nAlso in this location: \n\nLectures on Persian and Turkish Spiritual Arts – October 9\nSacred Dance Workshop –  October 11
