Weaving the Webs of Sacred Dance Online Festival
The Sacred Dance Guild is delighted to invite you to our 2026 Online Festival, Weaving the Webs of Sacred Dance, taking place September 19–20, 2026.
Together, we will weave an experience of movement, connection, discovery, and community across the globe. This special weekend will offer a rich and varied sacred dance experience with an inspiring group of presenters: familiar faces Cynthia Winton-Henry and Maria Durden, along with Marilyn Green and the newly forming Living Water Movement Choir, Claire Elizabeth Barratt, John West, Fahadhi Kiryowa, and Aradia Julia Sunseri.
Join us for this wonderful sacred dance buffet, with opportunities to move, explore, reflect, and connect with fellow dancers and seekers. In addition to the workshops, there will be time for Gathering and Sharing before and after the sessions, creating space to build community and deepen our connections.
The Festival will be held live on Zoom. If you can’t attend some or all of the sessions, all registered participants will receive access to the recordings after the event.
Registration:
SDG Members: $75 | Non-Members: $125
We invite you to join us as we weave this beautiful web of sacred dance, movement, connection, and community.
