TURNING 
TOWARD 
THE HEART: 
SUFI RITUAL + MOVEMENT
REGISTER

"The  embodied spiritual
practice of turning rooted
in Sufi ritual and movement
creates connection to the
rotation of the earth
and the still center of the heart.
 "
​
~ Miriam Peretz

​Miriam Peretz returns to Mountain Yoga to share another afternoon of the power and beauty of the Islamic Sufi tradition. Miriam is an internationally-acclaimed performing artist specializing in dance from the Middle East, and creator of Nava Dance, a holistic movement practice inspired by use of circles, spirals and cycles to awaken the highest potential of self.

Journey with Miriam into an exploration the heart employing sacred whirling practices for connecting to the universe and our deepest self.  In this workshop we will  discover the tradition of sema (Sufi whirling) learn basic techniques for turning, and experience how dancing to ecstatic Sufi poetry can  expand our heart's capacity to feel unity with all creation.
