This is an episode written by Elle Alder and presented to RJ Walker.
Elle leads the audience through a guided meditation or astro-travel ceremony of a Zar - a healing magic ceremony that comes from the geographical region of the horn of Africa.
The surprise modern take of this ritual is Elle taking RJ for an afternoon of Ecstatic Dance. RJ is delighted by the number of willing interviewees and finds a wide range of reasons for people doing this Sunday Ritual of dance.
Thank you to the Utah Arts Alliance and the Art's Castle.
Elle and RJ give the thumbs up to Ecstatic Dance. Visit the Lady's Literary club in Salt Lake City, Utah on Sundays to visit, participate, or experience.
