Zikar & Sacred Dance
Dance & Prayer:
Zikar is an ancient form of body prayer from the middle east. Using simple phrases in Arabic, song and movements, a circle of strangers can come together in an organic harmony.
Zikar
Zikar is about rememberance: remembering who we truly are in a non-personal, experiencial movement with others. Zikar is experience; an experience of what is possible when we drop the ego for a time, and simply move with others.
