Long Dance Lodge (time sensitive)
Per my Medicine Wheel Class this is where the lodge is going to be. To know more about these read my entry on what I found to explain further. Deadline for deposit is March 22 Pay in full March 30th. Border added is from www.glitter-graphics.com LI
Please read carefully -- this is a good thing. This is the second Long Dance I know of, the first being with Beautiful Painted Arrow (Joseph Rael) a Ute/Picuris Pueblo friend, who brought it to Tacoma Park near Ormond Beach back in 1996. It is time we did this again.

WHAT IS THE LONG DANCE?
The Long Dance traces its origin to Grandmother Twylah Nitsch of the Seneca Nation. Grandmother Twylah asked her students to get people dancing and singing on the earth again. The Long Dance is modality she gave them with which to do this.
During the Long Dance, the first day is one of preparation and also of purification, which is usually done with sweat lodges. The following day at sundown everyone gathers around the pow wow drum with their own drums and other instruments. The Long Dancers sing, drum and dance until dawn the following day. The Long Dance can be a mode for a deep inner journey, it can be a pure celebration or it can be both. Some people make healing ties (Alan can instruct) and use this time to pray for healing.
The Long Dance comes to us in S. Fl via Alan Willes, a drum maker and song keeper from Jackson Hole , Wyoming (http://www.sacredmountaindrums.com/.) Alan received the dance from Charles Lawrence who received it from Grandmother Twylah. This is the first Long Dance we know of in S. Fl.
