New Course: Embody Love as Spiritual Power
April 18 @ 10:00 am – May 9 @ 11:30 am
Join me to reignite the reality-shaping power that lives within the unity of body and soul.
Within each of us lives an untapped spiritual power — one that arises from the deep interconnectedness of all life and the creational energy that is inherently life-giving.
Embodying Love as Spiritual Power will help you awaken that power through a 4-week spiritual embodiment journey rooted in sacred dance and Divine Feminine wisdom. Through newly created dance practices and intentional movement sequences, you will learn how to cultivate, build, and refine “soft power” — as a coherent, responsive, and deeply transformative field of presence.

Banafsheh Sayyad, MFA, Choreography and MA, Chinese Medicine, is a master sacred dancer, choreographer, and visionary teacher of spiritual embodiment whose life’s work is devoted to helping people activate greater health, awareness, and resilience through conscious movement.
Internationally acclaimed for her pioneering fusion of spirituality and sensuality, she is the founder of Dance of Oneness®, a Divine Feminine lineage of healing and transformation uniting Sufi whirling, Persian dance, flamenco, mysticism, and Taoist wisdom.
Her forthcoming book, Dance of Oneness (St. Martin’s Essentials, March 2026), invites readers to rediscover the body as a portal to presence, vitality, and joy. Drawing from her own awakening through dance that transmuted the pain of exile from Iran, Banafsheh weaves Rumi’s poetry, feminine mysticism, and embodied healing into a radiant call to live as a channel of love and light. Born in Iran to legendary filmmaker Parviz Sayyad, she defied cultural taboos to create a feminine expression of Sufi whirling, transforming dance into a pathway of liberation, divine communion, and activism.
Through her non-profit Dance of Oneness and her transformative teachings at centers such as Esalen, Kripalu, Omega, and Hollyhock, Banafsheh has inspired thousands across the world to awaken, embody love, and dance the divine into being.
