I had the privilege of dancing in Anna's "Circle the Earth" ritual in San Diego in the 80s and have interviewed this amazing woman twice. The latest was in 2012 for the San Diego Union-Tribune - http://www.utsandiego.com/news... When I did "Circle the Earth," Anna shared a piece of wisdom that I've used as a mantra. During the workshop preparing for the ritual, a woman felt overwhelmed and ran out of the room. Anna found her and told her it's okay if you need to curl into a ball in the corner and cry, but "Whatever happens, stay in the dance." I've tried to stay in the dance ever since.
