Day1 For Iran	Day2 Sudan's Revol	Day3 Lessons	Day4 Opportunity	Day5 Vision	T

---

Today we will look at the Iranian situation from the vantage point of Sudan. Like, Iran, Sudan had a dictatorship rife with corruption, cynicism and coercion which had terrorized the population for over 30 years.

The situation seemed hopeless and then a student led non violent movement rose up in December 2018 and continued for the next eight months, at the end of which the regime of Omar el Bashir was toppled and a pathway to civilian democracy was initiated.

Convener

• Banafsheh Sayyad is a master Persian sacred dancer, choreographer, transformational teacher, practitioner of Chinese Medicine, founder of Dance of Oneness®, and women’s rights activist. Banafsheh has been performing and teaching internationally, initiating people into the wisdom of their bodies, inspiring them to live their everyday life as a sacred dance. She is among the few bearers of authentic Persian dance in the world, and a pioneer in creating a liberated feminine expression in the Sufi dance genre previously performed only by men. Her modality, Dance of Oneness® is dance as a spiritual path and science of embodiment. It is a fusion of the art of dance: rigorous technique and self-expression; healing; and wisdom teachings. With a Masters of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography from UCLA and a Masters in Chinese Medicine, Banafsheh is dedicated to individual and collective healing through conscious dance. Her award-winning work has been presented in North America, Europe and Australia.
