Sanctuary for Harmonic Living

In ancient times, many cultural societies used dance as a spiritual practice. Today, in our modern day world, we draw upon these ancient dance forms for inspiration, activation and empowerment.

It is an art form closely related to the art of love, a means of nonverbal communication that moves beyond spoken language to communicate through movements and gestures- it tells a story, expresses emotion and evokes eroticism. 

Dance can be experienced as a sacred celebration of life to embody the  Divine.  As a spiritual practice, it is a powerful vehicle that moves us throughout life to create positive change for ourselves, each other and ultimately for the world.  

 “In sacred dance, we are reawakening memories from the ancient past, when we danced as temple priestesses for healing, pleasure and transformation. I feel it is a divine remembrance from deep within the cells to activate our unique gifts as we dance the path of Alchemy. We are recreating ourselves with each breath we take and with every movement we birth a new beginning.  Sacred Dance is a Prayer in Motion  to embrace and embody the Divine"

– Maryanne Savino

"Sacred Dance is intrinsic to most women as a form of expression rather than for performance.  Many women have become disconnected from their bodies, I believe that dance is a meditative, healing, and empowering way to reconnect to the sacred and creative parts of themselves.

It bridges the sexual/spiritual gap that most women have lost, touching all levels of existence; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Through the power of Sacred Dance we can tap into inherent primordial movements- it's as ancient as creation itself."

"The foundation for a joyful life is the pleasure we feel in our bodies. We become fully alive with ecstatic bliss by expressing our Divinity through Sacred Dance."
