Format
From 1958 to 1978, the SDG published a Newsletter for its members. In 1978, the newsletter evolved into the SDG Journal. Printed issues (two to four annually) were mailed to all SDG members until 2009, when the SDG Journal began to be published electronically. These early digital issues were distributed twice annually to SDG members only.
In 2013, the SDG Journal was moved to an open, online platform and is now available to all. In this format, articles are accepted and published on an ongoing basis.
In 2017, the Sacred Dance Guild published a beautiful Special Edition print version of the Journal (photo of cover above) in honor of the 60th Anniversary in 2018. You can request a print copy of this Journal by email to admin@sacreddanceguild.org.
