Notes
From the Lordís Prayer in the Ancient Aramaic (which was the street
language in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus)
The outer circle should be comprised of at least 50% of the people
present and the two other circles about 25% each of the people present
ëI created this dance and music on the spot as we danced it and
sang it late one night the last night of the 97 New England Dance Camp.
This is a technique I sometimes use ... jumping off the edge of the abyss
with no idea of where the ground is and no care to whether I shall turn
up to look like a fool or not. It is in these circumstances ... raw in
the moment life ... that the true inner magic is most likely to erupt.
But donít try this type of facilitation if you still wish to be respected
for your knowledge of dance or your capacities as a facilitator. It is
kind of like the Green Knight asking you to put your head on the chopping
block. You do truly have to be willing.í
------Shaker
If the moment is right and there is a person present who seems
ready, you might ask one of the sopranos from the middle circle to step
forth and simply fly in an improvisation of wordless sound.
Be sure to have a few drummers. (But not too loud)
Words in English
Give us (thank you for) this day out daily bread (the lessons and
nourishment of our bodies, hearts and souls)
Dear Daddy, You who permeates (is awash within) the Universe (the
Mother, Maya)
through ages and ages, forever and ever and ever
forever and ever and ever
forever and ever and ever
So be it. In full Faith I stand

From the Lordís Prayer in the Ancient Aramaic (which was the street
language in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus)
The outer circle, which should be at least half of the people present,
sings ìHavlan Lahkma Dsonkannan Yomanaî which translates as ìGive us (thank
you for) this day out daily bread (the lessons and nourishment of our bodies,
hearts and souls)
except the last phrase (of each cycle of four) they sing ëDsonkannen
Yomana.
The middle circle, which could be 25% of the people present, sings
ìAwoon Dwashmayaî which translates as ìDear Daddy, You who permeates (is
awash within) the Universe (the Mother, Maya)î. It is highly suggested
that this be a soprano circle.
The inner kneeling crescent (25% of the people present) is made
of base voices and incants ìLalamî which translates as ìthrough ages and
ages, forever and ever and everî.
except the last incantation (at the end of the cycle) they incant
ìAlminî, which translates as ìSo be it. In full Faith I standî.
