Dear Friends,
The Simorgh Dance Collective and I are dedicated to cultivating belonging, healing, and harmony in all our events and classes. Our legacy of dance is nevertheless based on healing and harmony. Coming up, I have a number of exciting performances, Persian and sacred dance workshops, and a sacred dance retreat planned this summer.
This weekend the Simorgh Dance Collective performs in Wandering with the Wind, a stage production directed by award-winning actor and director Sadeh Hatefi. Wandering with the Wind explores all corners of Iran, inviting you to immerse yourself with poetry, song, music, and dance showcasing moments from a culture and civilization when happiness and hope formed the cornerstone of life. See below to find more information and tickets for this exciting May 27 performance in Sacramento, CA.
Join me in San Diego, July 13, for Global Unity in Dance, a vibrant dinner-dance concert celebrating our diversity and unity featuring the Simorgh Dance Collective and other artists. Stay for the weekend in San Diego for workshops in Persian Classical, Azeri, and Persian sacred and Sufi whirling dance.
Many of my followers have been patiently awaiting for another dance retreat with me. This September we will meet in Marboro, VT for Sacred Journey of the Soul, a sacred dance and music retreat encompassing the rich tapestry of Iranian/Persian mysticism and Sufism, including Greater Khorasan, Yarsan, Qaderi, Mitratic, and Zoroastrian rituals, as well as Central Asian and Turkish Sufi practices. Early bird registration for this week-long retreat is open now, and until June 15 the price is $1000 combined for workshops, evening gatherings, shared lodging, and food. Space is limited so take advantage of this opportunity now.
Wishing to see you soon in dance where ever you are,
Farima
You have within you more love than you could ever understand.
– Rumi
