Dance, Life and Beyond by Joana Saahirah A Journey of Death and Rebirth in the country of the Pyramids Once upon a time, I had a dream so I chased it—in Egypt. This Magical Book tells about this Adventure, the Price we pay for our Passions and the Wisdom we can gather on the Journey up the Mountain. Almost killed, chased, shocked and amazed with an Egyptian (fascinating) underworld very few foreigners ever get to know. ”The Vision of a Dance that answers the question: what´s the Law? I can hear the eternal echo (lonely singing in the mountains): The Law is Love. Here´s my discovery, my creed and reason to live – my own treasure island found at the present (full circle) moment. Leaving everything I knew behind, heading to the mysterious Egypt (with a bag full of ignorance, guts and big dreams) was more than an ambitious impulse; it was a Sacred Initiation. Little did I know that it would be through hell that I would reach (my own private) Heaven.”
