HUMMINGBIRD DANCE & WASIFA PROGRAMS
We Invite You to Join Us For:
RELEASING INTO ALIVENESS
A Hummingbird Residential Dance & Wasifa Retreat
with Tara Andrea, Maboud and special friends
Friday October 9 - Tuesday October 13, 2026
Hummingbird Music Camp,
Jemez Springs, New Mexico
Heaven and earth joining,
gathered into our hearts,
into the soft belly of belonging,
into the stillness of life
being aware of itself.
(excerpts from
Lin Ream’s poem Released Into Aliveness)
Particles of self
breaking lose
from certainty,
turning, dancing,
rearranging
into fluid movement,
expressing freedom
into each
new moment
The Beautiful Names, often referred to as wasifas in certain Sufi lineages,
are living beings and a force of life that provides for an ecology, guidance
and discovery of the true essence of our human self and divine soul.
Tara Andrea, Maboud and Friends will guide us in this gathering through their unique wasifa dances and embodiment-centered and silent meditation. There will be contemplative time in nature, as well as sharing our individual experiences in a circle of belonging.
