Dance the 13 Rays of Embodiment: SHIFT 18-Week Training
What if becoming more grounded, present, and at home in your body could also open the door to a deeper experience of who you truly are?
Join transformational embodiment teacher, internationally acclaimed sacred dancer, author, and Dance of Oneness® founder Banafsheh Sayyad for an immersive 18-week journey through the 13 Rays of Embodiment—a progressive map for awakening through the body and bringing greater presence, love, resilience, joy, and connection into everyday life.
Through sacred dance, conscious movement, meditation, breath, inner inquiry, and embodiment practices, you’ll explore how to become more grounded and centered, strengthen emotional resilience, deepen your connection with your body’s wisdom, cultivate heart-centered presence, and experience greater wholeness and belonging. The training weaves together sacred dance and conscious movement with Sufi and mystical Iranian traditions, Divine Feminine and Taoist wisdom, Traditional Chinese Medicine, sacred geometry, and poetry from Rumi, Hafez, and other beloved mystics.
Movement practices include a feminine form of Sufi whirling (Sama), Persian dance, veil dance, Middle Eastern Tribal dance, Flamenco, Tai Chi, Qigong, and other forms of conscious movement—using movement not simply as performance, but as a pathway into presence, healing, expanded awareness, and embodied transformation. Whether you’re beginning an embodiment journey or are already a dancer, healer, therapist, yoga or Qigong teacher, somatic practitioner, artist, spiritual practitioner, or facilitator, the training is designed to meet you where you are. No professional dance or teaching experience is required.
