Ready to bloom into spring with Persian dance?

Step into the magical world of Persian culture, where flowers aren’t just beautiful, they’re sacred symbols of divinity, creation, and purity. Edgar Cayce’s readings described an ancient Persian society with deep spiritual roots that later blossomed into the Zoroastrian religion, a tradition that honored the divine through nature’s elegance.

In this workshop, you will experience a therapeutic dance experience guided by Katayoun Farah.  The beauty and poetry of the magical gardens of ancient Persia and modern-day Iran offer playful exploration and creative healing through movement and storytelling.

Perfect timing for spring and the Persian New Year, Norooz: you’ll explore the intricate, delicate movements of classical Persian dance, each gesture evoking blossoming flowers and the pure joy of nature awakening.
