Delighted and enriched by this moving ceremony\u2014the 34th \u201cDance of Life\u201d in 2027 in Lavaldieu\u2014we have returned to our daily lives.<\/p>\n
This is the message from the 34th Dance of Life<\/strong>, which is now taking effect:<\/p>\n At the intersection of yesterday and tomorrow <\/em><\/p>\n We find comfort in the silence.<\/em><\/p>\n Free from the allure of images <\/em><\/p>\n let’s get started and<\/em><\/p>\n Change happens. <\/em><\/p>\n We\u2014about 70 people<\/strong> in the countryside, 19 of whom were there for the first time, along with a few local guest dancers and 14 dancers from other regions\u2014danced, sang, tended to the land<\/strong>, and celebrated life together<\/strong>. Given the special circumstances this summer\u2014with a high risk of wildfires\u2014we treated nature with care and had to refrain from using open fires. <\/p>\n Nevertheless, we managed to pray in sweat lodges\u2014using sun-heated stones<\/strong> and hot water\u2014in sweltering conditions \u2014and instead of a child\u2019s fire, we had to tend a large candle<\/strong>; we reinforced the prayers on the sticks with the \u201cgong\u201d<\/strong> of a singing bowl. These new experiences<\/strong> show us how well our ceremonies work even under changed conditions\u2014which encourages us for the future. <\/p>\n In the northwest, we established a special dance line called \u201cNext Generation,\u201d<\/strong> where we dreamed of and drew inspiration for the continuation of the Dance of Life. There, dancers envisioned people\u2014including newcomers\u2014enthusiastically carrying on the dance. Following Russell\u2019s sudden death earlier this year, Rachel<\/strong> and her husband now tend to the land in Lavaldieu\u2014she unveiled a new sign<\/strong> and, together with her daughter, danced a moving tribute in the guest line. <\/p>\n Many of us were also deeply moved by the wedding ceremony<\/strong> at the altar in the East, which was celebrated on Thursday evening during the Yin Yang Dance. Two people from our circle, looking radiant in their festive attire, exchanged vows during this shamanic wedding ceremony. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Delighted and enriched by this moving ceremony\u2014the 34th \u201cDance of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-unkategorisiert"],"yoast_head":"\nSave the date: 35th Lebenstanz, July 30\u2013August 7, 2027<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
