Sacred Dance & Poetry to Embody the Feminine Path of Creation

A Free Video Event With Spiritual Embodiment Teacher Banafsheh Sayyad

Original Translations of Rumi on the Energetics of Love

Discover a feminine path for personal transformation and collective evolution that is rooted in the artful alchemy of sacred dance and the authentic translations of Rumi’s mystical poetry.

Rumi’s poetry flowed through him while he whirled, while he surrendered to the Divine plan — for his life, and those of all who would later read his revelatory words and be reawakened into the mystery, love, and deeper calling of their own hearts.

Join us for an insightful event with spiritual embodiment teacher and sacred dancer Banafsheh Sayyad, where you’ll experience Rumi’s original Persian poetry translated into English by Banafsheh — and be guided through a sacred dance sequence to embody one of Rumi’s poems as a prayer that returns you to love and stability in times of turbulence, challenge, or uncertainty.

In a time of widespread chaos, uncertainty, and crises, we often try to harden ourselves to find balance, resolve, and strength. The feminine path and Rumi’s own approach to the immense turbulence of his time remind us that we don’t need to toughen up to make it through — or make a difference.

About the Workshop

In this inspiring event, you’ll:

Experience Rumi’s original Persian poetry on navigating turbulence through love as translated into English through a native Persian speaker
Be guided in a sacred dance sequence to embody a poem as prayer — a practice that awakens the healing balm of love within you and the calming, generative energy of water and yin flowing through you and into our burning world
Explore how the feminine path of creation — rooted in love, receptivity, and trust — empowers us to meet today’s challenges with grace, courage, and inspired possibility
Discover how the sacred dance of whirling awakens the stillness at the heart of movement — a luminous center within you that becomes the wellspring from which you can manifest your dreams
Experience soft power through the courage to stay open, ground yourself in love, and live from that place in your daily choices — rather than hardening or toughening up to make it through turbulent times in ways that take a toll on your femininity, health, and wellbeing

What People Are Saying About Banafsheh

I experienced a profound transformation in my ability to accept my body, my sensuality. I’m in recovery from anorexia and I’ve struggled most of my life to feel present in my body since I’ve been so disconnected. Throughout this course, I felt myself become more and more grounded and embodied. The freedom and joy is immeasurable. Banafsheh is a magical healer and dances like an angel.

— Dr. Jo, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Banafsheh uses dance as a holy ritual. Her dancing is more than a feast for the eyes, it’s a joy to the spirit and an opening of the heart.

— Marianne Williamson, spiritual author

Banafsheh has blessed my life — first in Chartres, then with Dance of Oneness, and now through The Shift Network. Her teachings are a glorious gift by offering us prayer with the body and dance. My connection to the Divine soars when I dance with Banafsheh — even though at 75, my body is not as fluid as it once was. I love her teachings and being with her.

— Diane, Seattle, Washington

— Rabbi Jeff Faust, Newton, Massachusetts

In watching Banafsheh dance, I knew I was witnessing a master performer in action. Banafsheh is the quintessential professional in her field — not only as a dancer but as an artistic interpreter of Rumi — and in explaining the brilliance of that renowned Sufi mystic.

— Caroline Myss, medical intuitive and author of Anatomy of the Spirit
