The Moon Dance is a four-day ritual in which women gather, fast, and dance in a ceremonial circle for four nights to pray for the good of humanity, to feel the feminine essence amplified within, and to heal both their bodies and wombs and to cleanse generations of oppression and neglect. We dance to the sacred prayer songs in sacred formations according to the Directions (North, South, East, Wet) and Elements around the big mother drum. The structure of the ritual is an age-old tradition that is being revived around the world.
