Vancouver’s InterSpiritual Sacred Dance Festival—a day-long community event on November 7, 2009—invites you to celebrate the diversity of Sacred Movement Practices at its first annual event. Included in the day’s activities are ceremony, lunch, participatory workshops, a zikr, and an evening performance and dance. Sacred Dance Practices included are First Nations, Hindu, Sufi, Christian, Jewish, Daoist, Hawaiian Hula, African, and Earth-based. All ages and spiritual paths are welcome. (You’ll find more specifics at the end of this article.)
Born from the heart of Tannis Hugill—Performer, Choreographer, and Dance Movement Therapist, whose career spans thirty+ years and extends from New York City to San Francisco—this festival is about nurturing understanding and acceptance of the many ways humans articulate, through movement, their relationship to themselves and with the Divine. It is also about multi-faith acceptance of diversity through direct experience in our bodies.
As we acknowledge our bodies’ beauty and capacity to be in harmonic resonance while dancing with each other in sacred space, we are gifted with an opportunity to learn about, appreciate, and accept each other’s unique practice, tradition, and relationship to the Divine. Explicit and intentional exploration of sacred dance is an often-dismissed but none-the-less essential aspect of human growth, evolution, and transformation. How can we truly live in peace unless and until we embrace this aspect of our humanity?
