“A celestial manifestation of beauty and ancient magic. True performance of high temple arts.”

Elijah, after a prayformance

“The GodMa Rising prayformance rippled through the festival. People were talking about it. If they didn’t see it, they heard about it. It was very moving; they didn’t expect to be so emotional.”

Anonymous

“I was blown away by the synchronization and how professional the performance was. I can’t imagine how many hours of practice went into that.”

Sean

“This unique dance performance reminds us that love is the path to the infinite power we all have inside. A must-see! Or, better said, a must-experience!”
