Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my new book, Companions of the Sun, now available for pre-sales from Hohm Press (https://www.hohmpress.com), as well as online booksellers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org. After many years of research and preparation, my long-awaited book helps delve into the evolution of dance, mysticism, and history surrounding ancient rituals found in Persian and Silk Road culture. The insightful wisdom and refinement of the ancient Iranians left an indelible mark on the intricate music and dance systems of their culture as well as many prevalent contemporary cultures. According to Hohm Press’ logistics, it should appear in bookstores and in the hands of the author much earlier than its publishing date of October 2025. Those who have been proactive and ordered the book early will be delighted to know they will be getting a bargain–Holm Press has decided to change course and print the book will full color illustrations thereby adding to its cost and price. However, those who have ordered early will pay no more than for its original retail price of $27.95. Be sure to order your copy early before this discount vanishes!
Next month I will be teaching workshops in classical and contemporary Persian dance in San Diego as well as a two-day sacred dance workshop in Los Angeles in July. Be sure to look for event details below.
Yours in dance,
Farima
