There was a time when women gathered together to celebrate life through dance. They would come, young and old, from all walks of life to celebrate together. They brought with them all of their life experiences. One by one they would step into the circle to tell their story through the dance as the others looked on. Then they would all dance together in a captivating union of energies.

They danced for joy and sorrow and for everything in between. They celebrated the union of lives, the changing of the seasons, their ascent into womanhood, life to be, and life that had passed.

They danced to wildly beating drums, to softly playing flutes, to the rustle of leaves, to the wind and rain, and to the beating of their own hearts.
