Women's Web of Life Dance
May 28th-30th, 2010 - calendar
Led by Jeanne Robinson & Margarita DiVita, Dance Chiefs
The Women's Web of Life Dance is about looking down the threads of life (both forward and backward) and seeing all the possible consequences of our choices. It is about seeing, understanding, and ultimately taking responsibility for what we set in motion. It is about gaining understanding of how we affect the strands next to us and across from us, indeed the whole web of life. Maybe it's about learning how every single little thing that we do affects the whole.
This Dance is a little like the Sun-Moon Dance in that Spirit has shown us to dance back and forth to the center--but in this case we dance to the fire, which gives us the energy to create. This Dance is also a little like the Long Dance in that we also have been shown to dance around the circle (and perhaps even at times later into the night). We have been told to shape the dance area like an egg and put up thirteen poles--twelve around the perimeter and a larger thirteenth pole at the edge of the dance area.
Although the dancers and the crew are all women, men are invited to help prepare the dance area on Friday afternoon and to return on Sunday to partake in the feast.
In past years cost of the dance has been $295. This covers the expenses necessary to hold the dance. There is never a charge for ceremony.
In 2010 the Women's Web of Life Dance is offered on a donation basis. Join us.
