Banafsheh Sayyad
Identify the elements — earth, water, fire, air, and ether — that are creating physical, mental, or emotional imbalance within you, and explore how sacred dance can help you summon and embody complementary elements to bring yourself into balance, calm, and clarity at any moment.
Receive a dance transmission and blessing for peace and coherence in tumultuous times by a master sacred dancer.
Dance is medicine that can ground and inspire us as we navigate the many stressors and complexities of today’s world.
Acclaimed sacred dancer Banafsheh Sayyad, a gentle and adept transformational guide who radiates love and acceptance, says it’s also a potent tool for balancing our bodily systems, releasing mental and emotional overwhelm, and reestablishing a conscious connection with our own divinity...
... including our synergistic relationship with Mother Earth, whose elements not only bring life to our bodies but act as powerful change agents that reinforce our ability to regulate our own physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Pain, illness, overwhelm, chronic conditions, and even dis-ease are often telltale signs of an elemental imbalance within you.
Every element has a corresponding body movement, says Banafsheh, that can be harnessed to energetically cleanse and uplift you — and bring you into coherence when you’re feeling stressed, disconnected, defeated, or unsure of how to move forward in your life.
Knowing how to activate the right element at the right time can help you regain stability and inner balance — and heal what ails you, while also instilling a felt sense of health, clarity, calm, strength, and capacity.
During this empowering hour with Banafsheh, who was paramount in bringing the Sufi whirling dance to the West, you’ll learn how sacred dance can be used to summon and embody the element you need to correct physical, mental, and emotional imbalances, ease pain and ailments — and reclaim your connection with Mother Earth.
This includes a deeper appreciation for the healing potential of the five elements — earth, water, fire, air, and ether — that give life to your body.
You’ll experience the transformative power of sacred dance during a potent 5-minute sacred dance transmission and blessing by Banafsheh for peace and coherence within you and our world.
This transmission is medicine for the weary heart and for those who are struggling to find their footing amid the challenges and incomprehensible atrocities that have become everyday news.
