Her years of listening to the stories and music of dancing bodies, have created a strong foundation to hold and support participants in workshops and retreats, as they discover and explore their own stories. ”Sacred” has shared her gifts at Camille Brown’s “The Gathering” where she presented Dancing Inside the Alchemy of Joy, she led a moving meditation for Shamell Bell’s Street Dance Activism’s 21-day Global Meditation.
