Invocation 

Reaching first within
Calling my inner dancer
Bringing her power and force to my consciousness
To awaken my primitive rhythms and strength and balance; My Power
Calling my inner sister, the primitive need to belong and have connection
Put away weakness, banish the thoughts of self; leaving me open to the group
I know that to call upon myself I also am calling for my sisters; both in need and action
Breathe in group rhythm; bind me to my sisters, trusting
Fuse our powerful natures to enhance our dance, invoking the mystery of fusion/synergy
Our fusion will lead us and our dance so that we can
Commit to this unity of tribe
Commit to these sisters with wisdom, compassion, patience,
And celebrate together this beauty in the ancient way together in DANCE
