Dances of Enlightenment
The Dance of Life

    

“There is nothing more timely today than that truth which is timeless,

than that message that comes from tradition and is relevant now

because it has been relevant at all times.”

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

  

    

Dances of Enlightenment --- geographical variations of Universal Timeless Principles --- begin the fascinating adventure of planting seeds of intercultural understanding and an appreciation of our Common Heritage, thereby nurturing our evolving Cosmopolis.   The Dances present a union of global thought: our differences creating an unforgettable Harmony.  For the goal is Harmony, unified diversity, not homogenization.

Dear Marilyn,

 

It is always a pleasure to receive your news.  Your extraordinary creativity and transforming grace, through art and culture, is a powerful communication tool of universal values --- first and foremost for peace.

 

It was a great honor for me to come to know you during the Dances of Enlightenment Performance in Naples, Italy.  Your production of the Dances of Enlightenment was a wonderful opportunity to bring, for the first time in Italy, such a powerful and moving testimony of civilization.  The Dances of Enlightenment aroused admiration even by those who have lived for years in the world of entertainment, including the renowned conductor Enzo De Caro.

 

It is a great honor for me to join your International Advisory Council.  The powerful humanitarian mission of Wilhelm Scholê International is crucial for our global civilization in the new millennium.

 

Sending you a heart-felt thank you and more dear greetings,
