Dance the Sacred Geometry of the Rose
@10:00am-11:00am PT
Connect with the invisible architecture of life through the sacred geometry of dance to discover deeper dimensions of consciousness, healing, and presence — and unlock the revelatory wisdom held in the energetic patterns that shape your reality.
Banafsheh will also guide you into the spiraling sacred geometry of the rose during a gentle movement practice, unlocking its wisdom and deeper states of coherence, stability, clarity, and peace.
At a time when so many feel scattered, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their true selves, potential, and each other, sacred dance offers a way to return to the alchemical illumination of body and soul — where consciousness moves like liquid gold in physical form, revelatory in its power and embodying creation itself.
Experience firsthand the mystical world of sacred geometry and embodied revelation through the sacred geometry of dance.

The Sacred Geometry of Dance: Move Through Sacred Patterns for Revelatory Wisdom, Deeper Alignment & Embodied Awareness
Registration Opening Soon
At a time when so many of us feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disempowered to create meaningful, lasting peace and change, the sacred geometry of dance offers a radically different path for accessing the insight that can carry us forward…
Engage with your body as the place where the infinite takes shape and become a chalice for divine revelation and expression as you dance the sacred geometries that shape your inner and outer reality.
You’ll enter the energetic architecture of some of humanity’s oldest sacred symbols and dimensions of consciousness through movement, whirling, Divine Feminine wisdom, and embodied mystical practice — unlocking deeper dimensions of spiritual awareness, healing, sovereignty, and coherence.
July 30 to Aug 2 - Menla Retreat Center / NY
Alchemy of Oneness: The 3rd Force
Discover how compassionately weaving paradoxes together creates a third force — one that initiates transfiguration, a profound spiritual process Sufi mystics described as the alchemy of the heart, Rumi called the meeting place beyond opposites, and modern quantum physics understands as emergence through coherence and superposition. Drawing from my book, I’ll share embodiment practices, whirling, and new dance sequences grounded in mysticism and modern science, guiding you to embodied transfiguration as an antidote to inner and outer conflict.
