Resonses to our Feb. Healing Dance:
Exceeded my expectations. Sunday was one of the best days I can remember. My spirit was full; I was filled with a feeling I cannot explain but I liked it & want more. My spiritual growth is leading me down this path & I look forward to more time at Peacock Paradise. Peace & Love, Lynn :-)
Beautiful. Thank you! It was such a pleasure meeting you,
& being there with you all.
Much gratitude, Galen & Emily

Dear DiAnahita,
I want to reach out & say thank you for creating such a wonderful dancing community.
I really love seeing all the opportunity pop into my inbox you are creating for people to join this beautiful practice. Much Love & dancing with you in spirit, Samantha
Thank you so much for Saturday & the healing songs & dances we did. They were indeed healing and allowed me to finally let out the tears that I had been holding in for so long. Sitting by the lake with the beautiful reflection of clouds & trees on the still surface was the perfect place to get in touch with these feelings while I sang. Thank you for sharing yourself & your piece of Mother Earth with us in such a loving & meaningful way. No Name please
I loved every moment - the Dances so special to all who shared them, & the wonderful people I met.
Warm thanks for allowing us to participate & share this moment.
Big hug from Gabby
