Mountain Way Ceremony

Our new spring exhibition features two exquisite paintings of male and female Mountain Way Feather Dancers by Diné artist Myron Denetclaw. The dancers hold eagle feathers in their hands and wear traditional jewellery and moccasins.The Navajo / Diné Mountain Way ceremony is a traditional nine day healing ritual which takes place at the end of winter. The dances, including the Feather Dance, take place at night. The purpose of the ceremony is in large part to restore balance and harmony between people and nature.Wishing you all balance and harmony on this beautiful spring day.with love,Jo x
