Dance to the Great Spirit: An Artist's Sacred Journeys into American Indian Ceremonies

In extraordinary drawings, paintings, and text, Alice Asmar (one of America's most distinguished artists) gives us a vivid portrayal of Sacred Ceremony—ritual dances performed in a space that has been made holy with the intention of keeping open doorways and sustaining goodwill between the visible and invisible worlds. With this book, you will discover the secrets of lifelong fulfillment as revealed through the dance, song, painting, and writing that captures the culture of the Southwest American Indians. Asmar's work takes the indefinable mystery of Sacred Ceremony and reflects it in symbols that we can comprehend and that resonate with the Great Mystery that lives inside each of us.
