The dance weekend took place on March 16 and 17, 2024, with Daniela Siegrist (CH) and Sandra Pawlig (D)

For me, dancing in a circle is always a source of vitality, evoking a wide range of emotions—such as sadness and joy, courage and fear, uncertainty and a sense of ease. And every time, I am amazed anew at how we move from stumbling individually at the start of a dance day to finding a shared rhythm in the circle by the end.

Something touched me deeply this weekend: the fact that we were connected with one another in the African Rainbow Dance— Rainbow—across many dance groups in different countries. May peace grow on Earth among all “bodies” (people, animals, plants, mountains …)!
