The treasure trove of vivid learning experiences and nightly ponderings she found has led to a memoir of rare value to anthropology students and academics as well as to general readers. Her experiences focus on the long-lived healing dance, known to many as the trance dance, and the intricate beliefs, artistry, and social system that support it. She describes her immersion in a creative community enlivened and kept healthy by that dance, which she calls "one of the great intellectual achievements of humankind.""--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSan (African people)$xRites and ceremonies 606 $a!Kung (African people)$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aSan (African people)$xReligion 606 $a!Kung (African people)$xReligion 606 $aEcstatic dance$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aAnthropologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAnthropolotists$zAfrica, Southern$vBiography 615 0$aSan (African people)$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$a!Kung (African people)$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aSan (African people)$xReligion. 615 0$a!Kung (African people)$xReligion. 615 0$aEcstatic dance 615 0$aAnthropologists 615 0$aAnthropolotists 676 $a301.092 676 $aB 700 $aBiesele$b Megan$01189745 801 0$bMiAaPQ $b eng $e rda $e pn $c MiAaPQ $d NZ-WeVUL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996571866503316 996 $aOnce upon a time is now$93655416 997 $aUNISA
