We've enjoyed a great second intro
session, and the choreography classes are working up an
excellent surprise monster project for the student
recital this Sunday. We're looking forward to workshops
with Lesya Starr, and continuing our quest for
tranquility in the midst of a maddening
world.

Lesya Starr coming to
Kitchener
August 25 and 26th,
2007
I'm thrilled to announce that the amazing Lesya Starr will be coming to
Kitchener August 25 and 26th. I've been a fan of Lesya's
for many years after having seen her perform in Dancers
For Peace, produced by Sashar Zarif. She's an incredibly
gifted and spiritual dancer, and it's an honour to have
her come to Haft Vadi.
The workshop content is still
not finalized. Votes so far are for Creative Dance,
Dance Ritual, Hand Dance and Al Andaleus. But, you can
still have your voice by looking at Lesya's Workshop Topics and sending
your votes to me. |
Reflections on the Life
of the Spirit
a spiritual study circle based
on the sacred writings of the Baha'i
Faith
Topics include learning how to study
and meditate on sacred writings, understanding the
concept of prayer and it's significance in daily life
and the realities of life and death from the perspective
of the life of the soul.
If you're interested and
want to register, contact Dharlene for full
details.
The current session
(Saturdays 8:30-11am) is now full. Contact Dharlene to
