Unveiling the Heart: Dancemeditation with Dunya

Dancemeditation(TM) Comes to Baton Rouge

Dancemeditation™, combines naturally resonant movement forms from mystical (Sufi) dance roots with continual breath awareness to connect our body’s inner and outer space, and ignite our intuition.

If you are looking for a deeper experience of dance or bellydance, or a meaningful, mystical movement connection, or if you simply need joy and revitalization, come journey with Dunya.
Note: Bring a silk veil (3 ½ to 4 yards of 45” wide lightweight silk) and a journal.

A New Story-Telling Project, Show-See-Share

Its Mission Statement:
“Show See Share seeks to create an open, safe, and non-judgmental space where people can find positive, healing, and fulfilling voices for their stories while witnessing the stories of others, through any and every creative medium available.”

The idea for this project was initially a workshop-offering. But the scope of the work kept pouring out and over-growing the boundaries I’d set. Now I’m looking to help you and everyone tell your stories—any way we can, through any creative-medium possible. Please visit www.showseeshare.org and email me with your submissions!

New Services and Classes:

Hullo Hullo Hullo!!!!!! I haven’t dropped from the face of the Earth—just been pupating, as I like to call it!

I’ve begun offering some deep, juicy services that include a few different Life-coaching packages, Imagidance™ and One-on-One Movement and Inspiration sessions. Currently, my classes are held at Agame Yoga &Meditation Center—655 S. Acadian Thwy in Baton Rouge.

Dancemeditation™ on-going, Sunday afternoons from 12—1:15PM offered by donation.

I was so inspired after this year’s 3rd Coast Tribal event and the classes, that I felt the need to teach a new bellydance class, open to all levels of dancers. And the best part? We will incorporate finger cymbals from the gate! :) I will provide some in-class loaner cymbals, and a few inexpensive sets for sale. 4 Week session starts Sunday, February 26—1:30-2:30pm dates: 2/26, 3/4, 3/18 & 3/25

Register through Agame Yoga and Meditation Center

The self-awakening that I experienced through your Life-coaching interactions with me has transformed me and my life in ways that I couldn’t have predicted if I tried. I find myself in uncharted territory and I’m loving it…sooo many treasures for me to discover and all within myself! ;)

Administrator January 24, 2012 at 9:35 pm

(((Thanks Dee)))) that means a lot coming from you! Infinitely glad I was able to be the help you needed at that time. Not to mention I’m excited to see where your ‘uncharted’ territory will lead!

You are such a mover & a shaker, it is an honor to be in your world at any given moment. Thank you for all the blessings you bestow on those who interact w/ you. <3

Shamsi February 9, 2012 at 10:55 pm

♥Thanks you

Thank you Dunya! I am very curious about your approach to Dance. I will try to attend to one of your workshops. Are you familiar with Biodanza, Dance of the 5 rythms, Trance dance, Dance of Univesal Peace or Nomadic Dance? Is yours somehow similar to one of those? Thanks, David.

Shamsi February 9, 2012 at 10:55 pm

David! Hello – this is actually Shamsi♥ Dunya is my Dancemeditation teacher (and it is her image on this page) we are bringing her here to teach the second weekend of March. Yes – there are some similarities to all of those! Primarily because we are all basing our work on a Sufi foundation. Although I can truly say that what Dunya has created through Dancemeditation is unique. – Her website is http://www.dancemeditation.org if you would like to see more information!! I also teach a weekly Dancemeditation class at Agame Yoga and Meditation center here in Baton Rouge on Sunday afternoons. We’d love to have you if you’re interested. ~Shamsi

All your facebook posts are reaching me! They keep my compass pointed in the right direction through out the day and I miss them when they’re not there.

Shamsi February 11, 2012 at 5:45 pm

:D ISCAH!! You! You have been chosen by my Nephelum Boris :) I’ll email you later so we can talk about details <3<3

So, you know I just had one of these sessions so I do not need another, but I want to give you a loud shout out for your generosity and gifts that you bring to this world. Proud to call you friend and sister in paint!!

Unfurling moments…and there you are! So happy to hear that along with everything else, you will be sharing your extraordinary shimmy powers locally again. Love you Shimmy Sista!

Lisa Wilson February 10, 2012 at 12:36 am

YAY!!! Oh my goodness how I wish I lived closer to you. I can only imagine the beauty of those classes….*sigh*. For now, I am just super giddy to think about having a session with you. I mean, if one little free few-sentence reading can have such a profound effect, I can’t even IMAGINE what a longer one would do! :) :) Honored to know you, you beautiful soul you.

Shamsi February 11, 2012 at 5:42 pm

<3 <3 Lisa. My Nephelum Boris has picked your name this morning :). I'll email you later to set up details MMMUAHHHAAA!

Cheramie February 10, 2012 at 1:17 am

Shamsi, you are such a ball of energy. It is always a pleasure seeing you work your magical positive powers on those around you. Much love, hugs and kisses!

studying with shamsi has absolutely changed my life for the better, uhm i mean for my best and greatest good. i would like to quote my friend and fellow shamsi follower dee, “my life is completely changed, now every morning when i leave my house it’s like i’m looking through a pair of rose colored glasses.” attending shamsi’s psychic sunday classes was so rewarding. i followed her teachings and found a whole new life for myself. In addition, my husband and children found a happier more loving wife and mother, my friends found a better friend in me and i found how to love and be gentle with myself. thank you shamsi, you make a difference in this world.

Everything you are involved in excites me, and inspires! Keep pumping out the love happy feet ^_^
