#163 - Banafsheh Sayyad, Divine Dancer

Banafsheh Sayyad is a master Iranian sacred dancer, choreographer, transformational teacher, and founder of Dance of Oneness®, a certification program that explores dance as a path of embodied spirituality. Performing and teaching internationally, she has initiated thousands into the profound wisdom of the body. She is one of the few bearers of Persian dance in the world and a pioneer in creating a liberated feminine expression in the Sufi dance tradition. Her new book, Dance of Oneness, is out on March 10th and available for preorder now.

On this episode, Banafsheh discusses how dance connects us to the divine, Persian magic and the Iranian protests, and why moving our bodies is a form of resistance.

Pam also talks about magical art as an antidote to fascism, and answers a listener question about a divinely gifted book.
