Synopsis
THE SILENT DANCE OF LIFE is the first feature length documentary on Ruth Denison and her meditation center, 'Dhamma Dena' in the Mojave Desert of California. Born in 1922 in Germany Ruth Denison was a pioneer of Buddhism in the West and a groundbreaker for women everywhere. Through her compassion, wisdom, and clarity of mind she guided many individuals to heal their heart and mind and create a new life. In this intimate portrait we encounter an exeptional woman, the healing of inner demons and the desert in all its terrible beauty.
