Christian Dance Conference

Last week I attended the Christian Dance Fellowship of South Africa's National Conference, held in Kloof, Durban. It was my first time to the East Coast of South Africa, which is much warmer than Cape Town in winter.

Here are some of the colourful and exotic wall hangings which were decorating the main hall of the boarding school, where the conference was held.

The conference theme was "...a Garden Enclosed", taking verses from Song of Songs "...Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat its choicest fruits..." In our joint sessions we were encouraged to both individually and together prepare our hearts and lives to become the 'Bride of Christ'.

The imagery of the garden ran throughout the week with "Oh, I pray let the north and south wind blow upon my garden, that it's spices may flow out..." with many sensory illustrations through movement, inspiring us to allow the perfume of Jesus to both penetrate and be evident in our lives.

It was very creative, with challenges to think and move outside our comfort zone, but done in a non-threatening and safe environment of learning and growing.
