Our first Earthdance Barcelona event

Our Earthdance event was lovely. About 40 people attended. Everyone brought good, healthy, home-cooked dishes and desserts.

From the moment we sat in a circle, while Semin chanted a peace prayer from the B'hai faith, all the stress of organizing the event disappeared into a warm-hearted feeling of "inner peace". We chatted, made friends, ate and danced. Dj T-Bird spun global fusion music and later Satguru Kaur gave us a quick Bhangra lesson. Following that, Jasbir shared a beautiful celestial communication (mudras expressing a mantra) she created to Mul Mantra and everyone joined in. After moving together, we joined in kirtan (singing of mantras.) Shawn lead us on vocals and harmonium, Charles alternated between playing guitar and tabla, Lluisa played tambura and percussion as well as her amazing singing. I helped out on percussion.
After kirtan finished we stood in a circle, hand in hand and Jordi read the Earthdance™ peace prayer in Spanish before listening to the recorded version played in over 300 cities all over the world that day. In that circle, I felt my heart chakra spinning with the love and connection of the entire event.
