VIENNA, Va. - s4story -- This immersive day-long workshop invites participants into the transformative world of sacred dance, Sufi whirling, breath, Rumi's poetry, and embodied wisdom. Through her distinctive feminine approach to Sama, the sacred Sufi practice of whirling, Banafsheh guides participants to reconnect with their bodies, awaken aliveness, and cultivate greater presence, resilience, and inner balance.
