For years many folks have ever asked Shaker
if he would please write down
The stories, histories, myths and the teachings
and ways of imparting
inherent within Sacred Circle Dance and especially
The LongDance.
Shaker is currently working on a book containing
the full scope of this material
of Sacred Dance as a path of Mystery and
a Way of cultivating the State of Direct Knowledge,
but it will be at least one more year before
this book is available.
This radio interview contains some histories
and
some of the background of Shaker himself and
how he evolved to
the teachings he imparts and the teacher he is.
This CD is comprised of a radio interview
with Shaker
that took place in Northampton, May 2000.
The CD also includes three songs which were
written, played and recorded by Shaker
Kingfisher (3:46) a
banjo piece and ballad
Rose (11:25) a keyboard instrumental
Cocek Boogie
(10:39) a synthesized instrumental written for the traditional cocek step
and a forth song
Issos (16 min) a traditional Greek Planting
Dance originating in the Neolithic Period
arranged, played and recorded by Shaker
.
What is The LongDance?
The LongDance is a form of Sacred Circle Dance
which
(more than focusing on the correctness of steps)
uses the Dance as a medium to cultivate the opportunity
of entering into Direct Knowledge.
The three strongest roots of The LongDance are:
the ways engaged by Rumi and Yakzan Valdez:
the modes of the Neolithic Temple Dances;
and Sacred Circle Dance as brought forth by Bernard
Wosien.
