Sandra Speaks at Transforming Culture Symposium

Sandra Organ-Solis traveled to Austin at the beginning of April to participate, as a guest speaker, in the Transforming Culture: A Vision for the Church and the Arts. In her presentation she discussed how our physical bodies have the need to express themselves in our worship of God, going from the simple gestures of bowing and hand-clasping to the more elaborate circle and festival dances. In this session she explored five ways in which churches can make use of dance as an aid to our adoration and celebration before God.

Following the presentation, she was interviewed for the WorshipPodcast. You can download the interview or visit WorshipPodcast.com
