Today we will update you on the ongoing challenges to the fundamentalist regime in Iran by young women and people who only want to live their lives in freedom and dignity. We will delve into the issue of nonviolent action and whether this has utility in a situation fraught with violence and coercive force.

  • Banafsheh Sayyad is a master Persian sacred dancer, choreographer, transformational teacher and founder of Dance of Oneness®, she performs and teaches internationally, initiating people into the wisdom of their body, inspiring them to live their everyday life as a sacred dance. Banafsheh is one of the only dance artists who has mastered a fusion of high level dance technique with spiritual embodiment. She is among the few bearers of authentic Persian dance in the world, and the pioneer in creating a liberated feminine expression in the Sufi dance genre previously performed only by men. Banafsheh's dance certification program, Dance of Oneness®, is dance practiced as a spiritual path and science of embodiment—a joyful, loving and contemplative way to embody spirit and live freely, peacefully, passionately and of service in the world. Operating in 3 dimensions: the art of dance, rigorous technique and self-expression; wisdom teachings; and healing; Dance of Oneness® is based in Sufi ritual and whirling, flamenco, Persian and Modern dance, Tai chi and Chi gong. Sufi teachings and the poetry of Rumi, Divine Feminine wisdom, Science of Mindfulness, the Gurdjieff Work, Chinese Medicine and the Chakra system are the theoretical groundwork.
