The Alchemy of Dance: Sacred Dance as a Path to the Universal Dancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781978303508)

As a sacred art, dance is meditative, healing, and empowering. Movement is life-and dance is our birthright. But although it's available to all women, it has been largely forgotten.

The Alchemy of Dance takes you on a powerful, transformational journey to rediscover and reconnect to the Dance in you, as you remember the sacredness of the body, the divine feminine energies that move through you, and the Goddess.

Born in Peru and educated in the United States, author Leslie Zehr followed a calling to "return" to Egypt in 1986, sensing the power of the ancient motherland and its esoteric mysteries. While at the Dendera Temple in Luxor, she received a profound gift of knowledge through an initiatory experience with the Serpent Goddess (Hat-Hor/Sekhmet), who taught her the ancient Sacred Dance. Since then, her Great Work has been to pass along these teachings to thousands of women through retreats, workshops, online courses and in this book, now in its 2nd edition.

With simple-to-follow written and visual instructions, The Alchemy of Dance guides you step-by-step into the Dance, showing you how to tap into primordial movements that re-align your body with sacred geometry, wave patterns, energy, the chakras, and vibration. As you practice these movements, you will experience:

• A reconnection of the sexual/spiritual aspects within you
• Increased energy and vitality
• Greater access to your intuition and the source of abundant creativity

Incorporating the esoteric wisdom of Tarot and alchemy- the sacred Dance is an archetypal journey to the Universal Dancer, the Gold - as well as Leslie's personal journey of transformation through her intimate experience with the Serpent Goddess, this is a multilayered book to be savored and enjoyed.

The Alchemy of Dance is for anyone who feels a calling to help rebalance the dark and light aspects of the divine feminine within themselves and the world during these complex and transformative times.
