- Convener
- Banafsheh Sayyad is a master Persian sacred dancer, choreographer, transformational teacher, practitioner of Chinese Medicine, founder of Dance of Oneness®, and women’s rights activist. Banafsheh has been performing and teaching internationally, initiating people into the wisdom of their bodies, inspiring them to live their everyday life as a sacred dance. She is among the few bearers of authentic Persian dance in the world, and a pioneer in creating a liberated feminine expression in the Sufi dance genre previously performed only by men. Her modality, Dance of Oneness® is dance as a spiritual path and science of embodiment. It is a fusion of the art of dance: rigorous technique and self-expression; healing; and wisdom teachings. With a Masters of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography from UCLA and a Masters in Chinese Medicine, Banafsheh is dedicated to individual and collective healing through conscious dance. Her award-winning work has been presented in North America, Europe and Australia.
