“ The Earth is our Mother. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know. The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth. We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the Web, we do to ourselves.”
~ Chief Seattle, Duwamish
Invitation
Dear friends of the Dance to Heal the Earth Europe.
We are so grateful for your interest and commitment to the Dance. Grandmother Robin’s vision of the Dance has touched us all. It is an important and powerful message, healing for the Earth and all it’s inhabitants, including all of us.
When we are clear and commit to the intention of the Dance, we honor it as a sacred ceremony in which each participant has a wonderful contribution (dancing, or assisting in another way) to bring in the healing light of love.
We will Dance, onsite, with social distancing. Because of the Coronavirus situation there will also be the option for a Virtual Dance through Zoom connection.
Listen to the Call to join around the Tree of Life; you are so welcome!
The theme of the Dance will be “Spiritual Mastery is a Process, progress not perfection”.
The ones that are dancing their individual intentions in the Virtual Dance will join as one with the dancers Onsite. Taking responsibility as a collective to dance an emerging new culture into the world.
It is a blessing to have the opportunity to do that as DTHTE tribe.
Since it isn’t sure that Robin and Bert can be there, the Dutch dance community will lead and hold the Dance, honoring the “long distance” guidance and teachings from Robin and Bert.
Grandmother Robin received the vision for the Dance of “Spiritual Mastery is a Process, progress not perfection”. Her message is about the theme will soon be placed here.
The Dance this year will take place from Wedenesday August 11 till Sunday August 15.
Please let us hear your intention to participate ASAP, so we can organize related to the substance of participation.
Whether you attend as a Dancer or Earthkeeper, your gift to this dance is a prayer. We are grateful for the community we are building, and every intention you carry. Our work in this Dance will be felt throughout the world.
When you are not able to attend the Dance to Heal the Earth onsite in The Netherlands we are offering two ways to connect with the Dance from home. An online Virtual Dance and home supporter of the Dance.
We envision the same commitment as the Dancers onsite. South Africa and America will also be present for the duration of the Dance, fasting, praying, listening, etc. The online zoom Virtual Dance will be open during the full time of the onsite Dance in The Netherlands.
We also invite all who feel so moved, to become home supporter of the Dance. We will offer a Pipe ceremony or two each day, starting Friday, thru Sundays Closing Circle, and ask you to keep the Dancers in consciousness as you go about your day.
Program elements onsite and virtual Dance
- Moments of livestream Zoom connection with the Physical Dance
- Opportunities to share your prayer and inspiration, and to receive emotional and spiritual support
- There will be teachings and Pipe Ceremonies
- Dancing in your own sacred space singing the songs on the rhythm of the drum around the Sacred Tree we all share.
If you have any questions please contact us.
We look forward to meeting you, seeing you again, and singing, dancing and praying with you around the Tree of Life!
Aho and Blessings to all!
Dance Chiefs, Grandmother Robin and Grandfather Bert, Elders Council, Dance to Heal the Earth Foundation Board, and Dance to Heal the Earth Co-Creation Teams.
“ Remember your prayer-song ~ Dance and pray. Whenever you dance, dance to heal the earth. Not just when you’re dancing, but always. Live the dance, whenever you move, in all you do, dance to heal the earth.”
“ Dancing is power. Dancing is prayer. Some say that all is dance. Now there’s a big dance coming, a Dance to Heal the Earth. Soon this dance will be done in a big way, in the old way, on sacred ground. All living things will take part. Dance to Heal the Earth! Let your feet beat a healing rhythm into the earth. Let your feet beat a strengthening rhythm for those who struggle the hardest. Let your feet beat a life-giving rhythm for all peoples, regardless of race or national boundary, regardless of whether we’re human or whether we’re the trees, the air, the fish, the birds, the buffalo, the bear, the crow. Our dance is a prayer, and our songs, rhythms and our breath give life.”

It’s Time! We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!!
In this time of great change, Mother Earth needs our support. Each of us has a Life Purpose that serves the needs of All Creation. Some of us already know what that is, and how to share our gifts and talents for the good of all. Some of us are still in the process of discovering our mission in life.
Dance to Heal the Earth is a profound focal point for discovery, initiation, healing, and manifesting our intention, in alignment with the Great Creation, Mother Earth and the Core of our Beings. Every movement in the Dance is a prayer of profound focus and intention. These ceremonies were given to our Brothers, as the Protectors of the vision.
Drumming, Dance, Song and Ceremony are the foundation of every indigenous culture ~ and we are all indigenous to Mother Earth and our country of origin. In the way I’ve been taught, all ceremonial dances originated through the Women, the Birthers.
In some cultures, the masculine became the dominant force for many centuries. It is now time for the feminine to re-emerge, and to co-create balance and restore harmony between the masculine and feminine energies in order to support a healthy living environment for All Our Relations.
Whether you attend as a Dancer, Drummer/Singer or Supporter, your gift to this dance is a prayer. We are grateful for the community we are building, and every intention you carry. Our work in this Dance will be felt throughout the world.
Once you have committed to this fasting dance (only dancers will fast), we will send you protocols and a waiver. If you have any medications you need to take; any issues with fasting (you will be drinking water); any concerns or questions, we need to be aware of them. Please fill out the waiver, and we will talk directly to assure you have the protection and awareness you will need to fulfill your commitment and focus solely on your Dance.
