In my vertigo, in my dizziness, in my drunken haze, Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel, I saw myself as the source of existence, I was there at the beginning and I was the spirit of love...
Rumi
Sacred Dances
Whirling Mandala™ founded by Zia Nath, are whirling dances inspired from the ancient gypsies, rajasthani ghumrao and sufi traditions. They are sacred dances that connect us to the mystical realm.
Music and Poetry, rhythm and stillness, silent sitting are important elements that condition and refine our experiences.Practiced as an active meditation, the work is unique as it centers us in the balance of duality. We find stillness in motion and maintain balance with our inner compass.

Concentric Circles
Like ripples in the pond, each awareness moment expands out from its own center, containing in its pattern the configuration of all phenomena in the universe, material and immaterial.
And so the process of centering - the gathering of oneself as if by an inward throw of a stone into the pool of one's own consciousness - is also a Mandala
- Jose & Miriam Arguelles
