  • Banafsheh Sayyad, Founder of Dance of Oneness Discusses Sacred Dance and Embodiment

    Banafsheh Sayyad, Founder of Dance of Oneness Discusses Sacred Dance and Embodiment
    2026/06/10
    On today’s episode Aly sits down with Banafsheh Sayyad. She is a master sacred dancer, spiritual teacher and founder of "Dance of Oneness." Born in Iran, Banafsheh comes from a lineage of pioneering performing artists. She boldly forged a career in dance despite resistance from her family and a patriarchal culture that considered dance shameful. Her spiritual quest began at a young age leading her around the world where she received her MFA in dance and choreography from UCLA. She is internationally known for her groundbreaking choreography, where she invokes the ancient roots of dance as devotion, prayer, and adoration. An innovator of Sufi dance previously only performed by men, she represents the timeless Divine Feminine inside a contemporary gypsy darvish, beckoning us to live with passion, wildness, and reverence. Today, she and Aly discuss her work and how dance can be an act of liberation and celebration. If you’d like to experience Banafsheh’s work she has an upcoming 7 week online course via the Shift Network. You can find out more information via www.danceofoneness.org. Banafsheh is hosting a Free Intro Event called Dancing the Sacred Geometry of the Rose during which I introduce the course. This airs Saturday, June 13th at 10am PT, and the replay is on Tuesday, June 16th at 12pm PT. https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/dsgrBS/banafsheh1/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    2026/06/03
    Leah Ruppanner is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Melbourne and Founder of LightenLab.She is the author of the new book: Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More and Motherlands: How States Push Mothers Out of Employment. She has a PhD in Sociology and has spent decades researching and publishing over 70 peer-reviewed articles on gender, work and family. Today we discuss: her new book Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More. The term mental load has become more familiar in recent years, but the popular understanding of the concept often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics. In the book, Leah reveals that for women, mental load actually goes much deeper: It’s a complex form of emotional thinking that is invisible, boundaryless, and enduring. In Drained, she outlines the eight distinct types of mental load and highlights what makes them so uniquely heavy for women. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
