Skin of Glass: Finding Spirit in the Flesh

Skin of Glass: Finding Spirit in the Flesh by Dunya Dianne McPherson. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780980198607.

Dunyas intense passion for dance took her from a small seaside New England town in 1972 to the Juilliard School in the heart of NYC s vibrant, edgy art scene. A decade later, healing from a serious injury, she turned away from a successful performing career and retreated to a monastic mountaintop community directed by a charismatic Iraqi Sufi Master a sojourn that opened a mysterious, beautiful inner world, and an understanding of dance as moving prayer. Her path became Dancemeditation. Part dance memoir, part erotic memoir, and part guidebook, this rich account of life in the body takes dance beyond performance into a transformative realm where the physical, emotional and spiritual powerfully entwine.
