Dear Friends,
May 1 marks the long-awaited return of my dance and lecture classes. I’m so excited to share these upcoming classes and workshops and invite you into this path. Each offering is rooted in years of study in sacred dance, Sufi practice, and the ancient traditions of the Iranic and Persianate world where movement carries meaning, and the body becomes a place of awareness and remembrance. All classes are offered online and include:
✨ Persian Mystical Dance & Sufi Whirling
✨ Ancient Iranic Devotional Dances
✨ Temple of Mitra — Yarsan/ Sufi Teachings and Gathering
✨ The Simorgh Dance Collective Member Choreography and Training
✨ Essentials of Persian Dance, and more…
These classes help one experience movement beyond form, where dance becomes presence, and presence becomes connection.
In ancient Iran, much of Iranian mythology is based on the universal concept of good vs. evil. In this popular upcoming online lecture on May 31, join me as I share the untold stories and mysterious legends of the witches and demons of Iran.
Hoping to see you soon in dance,
Farima
“I said to the night,
“If you are in love with the moon,
it is because you never stay for long.”
The night turned to me and said,
“It is not my fault. I never see the Sun,
how can I know that love is endless?”
