Careers in Motion - Body Language - Dancemeditation} Where matter and inspiration meet
Dunya Diane McPherson, like many professional dancers, has experienced the extremes of intensive training. At 28 years old, at the peak of a successful ballet career, McPherson experienced a personally apocalyptic series of events that changed the course of both her career and life. The impetus was a leg injury that put her out of work. She describes the three years that followed as a desperate period in which she felt utterly lost. At the end of this cycle she discovered Japanese Bhutoh performance, sacred Indian dance, and a Sufi practice that drew her deep within, resulting in a career centered in personal/spiritual transformation through movement and awareness.
McPherson is the founder and principal teacher of Dancemeditation, a healing movement system. Dancemeditation finds its spiritual lineage in Sufism, its physical roots in somatics, and its emotional underpinnings in art, together forming the deepest, most essential expressions of ourselves. Dancemeditation offers a blend of the rich practices of fluid yoga, deep-state motion, slow veil, Sufi Mudra, body poems, chanting, and belly dance for transformation and unification of the fragmented self.
McPherson offers short and long intensive trainings, gatherings, and performances. She has trained and licensed over 30 new teachers of Dancemeditation, and continues to offer teacher-training programs across the United States and abroad. The call is out for all looking to explore the convergence of matter and inspiration. Dancemeditation is an alive practice welcoming the seeker, the student, the teacher. People are finding their ways to the center of McPherson’s classroom, and to the center of themselves, just as she found her way through dance and meditation.
“A Sufi teacher doesn’t teach, she/he ignites…I’ve been a Sufi teacher for almost twenty years. I undo, uncover, remove, kindle, erase, and reuse.”
