Beginning Level Courses

Dances of the Elements
Through the four Dances of the Elements of air, water, earth, and fire, one comes into a deeper relationship with the kingdoms of the Mother. One's consciousness of the elements both within us and in our environment quickens, and we feel ourselves at one with nature, breathing with nature, more at home on the Earth, as our inner Being and outer environment become harmonized. These dances work to purify the physical body, for greater physical health.

Dances of the Planets
Through the seven Dances of the Planets, one develops/purifies the human soul life or astral body, and fosters an ability to remain peaceful in times of trial through a newly developed depth and breadth of soul. The seven (classical) planets are: Moon, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. These planets comprise our Solar System, and these dances work deeply into our life of feeling as a stabilizing force. The Rosicrucian teaching of the seven chakras are inherent to this teaching.

Dances of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
Whereas the planetary dances work on the level of the soul, the Dances of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac work on the level of the Higher Self, or "I". Through these zodiacal dances one comes into a relationship with the Cosmos beyond our Solar System, and begins to develope a zodiacal consciousness, which re-orients us toward upright posture and clarity of thought. Through the zodiac dances we develop an awareness of "the community above" which includes the beings of the spiritual hierarchies. We discover that we are not only citizens of the Earth, but also citizens of the Cosmos! This opening to these benevolent and very high beings bestows upon us the blessing of great spiritual strength through depth experiences of ever higher levels of spiritual experience, as gifts of GRACE.

Intermediate Level Courses

The Seven Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac (84 dances)
These dances comprise the cosmic alphabet - each of the 84 (7 x 12) dances being one letter of this cosmic alphabet through which the Cosmic Christ speaks. Through these dances we begin to integrate simultaneously the lunar, solar, and planetary levels with the zodiacal level of existence. For these dances two circles are needed - an inner circle which expresses the Moon, Sun, or Planetary sphere, and the outer circle which expresses the sign of the zodiac (zodiacal consciousness). Through the dynamic interaction between the planets and the signs of the zodiac, we mirror here below what is occurring in the heavens, stiving to bring evermore to consciousness the hermetic axiom "As above, so below." Extroardinary etheric flowers are created through this dynamic interaction of tones and forms.

Advanced Level Courses

The Cosmic Configurations of Significant Events in History
In the advanced courses it is assumed that participants have experienced the dances of the cosmic alphabet (see intermediate level description above). An example of an advanced level course would be a course on the seven dances of the cosmic configuration of the day of birth or death of a great initiate. Dancing such planetary configurations can enable one to come into a living experience of the essence and mission of the particular initiate through feeling the significance of her/his contribution to life on Earth, which is revealed through her/his sidereal horoscopes.

Another example of an advanced level course would be the Cosmic Configuration of the Day of a great miracle/mystery, such as the Feeding of the Five Thousand, which occurred during the life of Christ Jesus. During that miracle the seven planets were in particular signs of the zodiac, and the Sun was aligned with a particular MegaStar. Dancing the cosmic configuration of a miracle can enable one to come into a deeper, truer understanding of the miracle. Miracles occur in relationship to what is happening in the cosmos. All occurs in relationship, and nothing that occurs occurs outside of relationship. SMILE. OPEN YOUR HEART. TRUST IN YOUR INNATE WISDOM - SOPHIA. Develop it through Cosmic and Sacred Dance!
