Notes
ìAncient Mother, I hear your calling;
Ancient Mother, I hear your song.
Ancient Mother, I hear your laughter;
Ancient Mother, I taste your tears.î
The dance is in essence a few grapevines and a turn
ending with the hands on the heart. 
A very beautiful dance for both opening the heart of the circle and for bringing to consciousness the union of ll beings. Especially useful when the focus of the facilitator is towards community or towards oneness of the people and the earth.
(Naw Ruz goes well with this inner theme also)
