celebrating the work of "Dante"

 

 

The Sons and Daughters of Orpheus, directed by Bruce Silverman with Jay Roller as assistant director, is now in it's 21st year. It comprises a healing community of individuals who practice the ancient soul arts of drumming, chanting, poetry and storytelling along with contemporary group work and performance ritual. These rituals occur both within the group settings and at healing conferences, parades and sacred gatherings of all kinds.

Group meetings also offer a space where individuals share their personal stories in a form called "soul making". The Orpheus Community embraces the four-fold path of honoring the sacred, working with shadow, encouraging creativity, and transforming the planet.
