Greetings, Loves! What a beautiful season it has been! We’ve relocated North here on the coast, rocking out new contracts from San Diego to Seattle (two of our favorite places on the West Coast!) and wanted to update you all on what’s going on here at SpiritDancer.org . More excited about the future than ever before. Sure, we are adjusting to the cold, but we are almost halfway through our journey here and it is more than worth the challenge - always. We don’t always post our newsletters here on the site, but will sporadically update them for those of you who have not subscribed or are new to our work. Hope you’re enjoying the end of the calendar year and we look forward to spirit dancing with you soon! xoxo T. More soon - always more … <3

Greetings, from the Oregon Coast! Since moving up north, entering the Interdisciplinary Studies program and transferring over to Anthropology, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED! First, I have a full ride (woooohooo!!!) and anticipate having a PhD in my hands before I’m 40 (fingers crossed!). I’m not too close to 40, but I can see it these days… it’s staring back at me and I want to have my doctorate done well before then - we’ll see! In the interim, while setting up shop here in the Pacific Northwest (full schedule of spirit dancing opportunities and digital goodies coming soon!), I am so happy to announce: I will be teaching Dance Anthropology with Dr Missy Cheyney next term! YAY! :D I am focusing my research on comparative sacred world dance and the trance state whilst preparing to write curriculum with Dr Cheyney (I love her and her diverse repertoire of experience - it is the perfect situation!). So grateful and happy; I’m doing what I came here to do and believe me… the dance will commence! Look out for new entertainment in SoCal and the Oregon Coast very soon! We are already booking for the winter season :)
Hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend! For those of you interested in my Sacred Work (not always dance related), check out our latest newsletter! Blessings xoxo T & Bella Rene

OK, maybe it's not quite the Solstice yet, but we are definitely in the throes of wedding season, summer educational programming and tons of entertainment ---- we have entered the high season! We haven't posted an update in some time; our social media on Instagram has finally kicked back in @_spiritdancer_ and my (Tehani's) personal account @dancingtehani but it's time to make sure we didn't forget about our online presence (though the majority of our interactions with you are voice to voice and face to face... we love it that way!).
Here's a sample of what's on tap for this summer and we can't wait! Please connect with us directly via our contact page for details on any of these and upcoming happenings. We've got fire dancers, go go dancers, models, actors, live mermaids, drum facilitators, world dance for wellness and so much more!
*Summer Entertainment (click)- some weekends still available in July and August. During the week is still much more open for your corporate events, private parties, community happenings, etc. Visit our About page for a brochure of full offerings.
*Trade School LA (click) - Whole Harmonics meditation and energy healing workshops available this Summer Solstice at HM157 on July 23! There will be a post on social media soon. This is not a Spirit Dance & Drum for wellness workshop, but updates on those are coming up! A fire dancing workshop is also available in July 2018. Keep an eye out for that or connect with us directly for full details and registration.
*A Place Called Home (click) - in addition to world dance educational programs during the year, Tehani is back doing fun world dance workshops at APCH this summer! Woohoo! We are hitting all the continents (except Antarctica lol) and it's going to be a blast! We love APCH and please support their 501c3. Worth every penny and it truly makes a difference.
*HollywoodHEART (click) - we are coming back for another art choice and performance for this amazing organization's summer. We'll also be doing some Social Emotional Arts programming during the year. Please support this amazing organization. They are fab!
*Senior programming - we have been at Atria senior living all over Orange County and smaller companies like Hacienda Grande in Long Beach for several years. We love our educational entertainment and can't wait to come back!

*Artists for Action (AfA) productions - always free and open to the public - are also coming back this year (woohoo!). More details on that coming soon... expect a new link on this website over the next month. It's our 11th year and it's been an amazing journey producing these over the past decade.
*And soooo much more! More news about REMO's generous partial sponsorship for our program instruments (yay!), our Arts Council partnership on a California Arts Council grant for veterans, our continued support of Veterans for Peace, educational presentations and published work on artivism and movement meditation... all coming soon! We actually were just awarded another grant the other week. It's an amazing time!
So good. So grateful. So happy. We've been so busy and I (Tehani) have been in the throes of organizing and facilitating it all ... so much so that I haven't had a chance to update this news page in awhile. We have missed you! Please come by and say hello at one of our local events or hire us for your next shindig! We would love to see you.
Have an amazing day wherever you are and sending you all our best!
:) Tehani, Bella Rene & Tech Team
Greetings Loves! Tehani here. It has been a LONG time since I've added to this news feed here on the website and I deeply apologize. I've been so busy working out in the world that I haven't had much time to work here at the office! Hehe. I am in the throes of wedding season and so that is always a good prep for the supercharged summer ahead. Before I share the amazing happenings currently in full swing and those coming up over the summer, I wanted to share my latest newsletter here on the website because I feel it is that important. It may be a good practice to share newsletters on this page sporadically so visitors to my site who aren't subscribed can see what it is that we do here at DT Entertainment, Spirit Dancer Wellness and Tehani just doing her thing hehe ;) Here is my latest post about an event this weekend that I hope you all consider attending if you are local (OC/LA counties). Have a beautiful day full of wonder, and I'll be posting another update here with our arts and wellness happenings very soon :)
BIG LOVE! <3 T.

Reiki, Drum Journeys and the Alpha State:
Reiki is a non-invasive, alternative holistic healing modality that activates and balances the electromagnetic field (which science has proven to exist) around the body, which is also known as the aura. Meditation has been proven to positively affect gray matter in the brain in addition to reducing pain, anxiety and even insomnia according to many studies - including this (click here) study out of Harvard University. Drum journeying and sound meditations have proven to induce the alpha state much more quickly than simple meditation alone. Designed by Tehani to empower your personal wellness practice, this weekly workshop combines Reiki, meditation and auditory input for an effective all-around soul nourishing experience to reduce cortisol, tap into the parasympathetic system in the body, increase gray matter, activate the alpha state and (of course) create regular weekly safe space and supportive community for exploring various tools and methods for inner peace, happiness and fulfillment.

Check out our Published Work (click here) page on this site for a few full-length articles written by Jennifer Tehani Sarreal on art and activism available in PDF.

Greetings friends! Tehani here :) I apologize that the image is so small. I rarely get photos from these Spirit Dance Workshops and will make it a point to take more. I will be teaching an introduction to the Spirit Dance Method at the LA Trade School - yay! I love the communal movement and I thought it was a great introduction to roll out that is accessible to everyone before I announce the next three workshop events I have for the spring. Look me up at this free event here: http://www.tradeschool.coop/LosAngeles/ (scroll down to Spirit Dance!) . Hope to see you there and please share with anyone who may be interested in this free co-op based on community, sharing and the importance of in-person face-to-face gatherings! Love it.
