As November draws us closer to the hearth, we’re remembering the fire at the heart of our work, namely the Summer Long Dance. We want to celebrate something extraordinary with you. Together, over the years, this dancing community has now raised over £1 million for charity through the Summer Long Dance. Behind that number are countless acts of generosity, dancing feet, courageous hearts and a shared commitment to turn prayer into practical support for life. To everyone who has danced, donated, fundraised, cooked, tended the land or helped hold the circle: thank you! This month, we’re shining a light on the Long Dance and the difference we can make when we put our feet, hearts and resources behind what we love.
We have just posted a recent interview that Susannah did with Belen Paez, the CEO of Fundacion Pachamama, which explains so much about why they have been our core fundraising focus over all these years. Enjoy!
Summer lOng Dance
Last month, we highlighted Dancing with the Heart of the World, our journey to the Amazon in support of the Pachamama Alliance. Continuing this spirit of connection, community and giving back, we warmly invite you to join us for the Summer Long Dance 2027. This powerful Movement Medicine ceremony brings us together in movement, prayer and celebration, raising vital funds for the Pachamama Alliance and its work to protect the Amazon rain forest and support its Indigenous peoples. An opportunity to dance with purpose, deepen our connection to the Earth and contribute to something much greater than ourselves.
We are also looking for one more dancing doctor to join us at this year’s Summer Long Dance. If you are a doctor and would be interested in being part of this special gathering, please contact Laura by using the contact form here.
Susannah’s new book, I Will Live Until I Die, tells the story of accompanying her parents through the final chapters of their lives. It’s a deeply personal story of love, loss and what it means to be there for one another. We hope it will be available in time for holiday reading. Watch this space!
