“The dance 'I Planted Seeds' is published in a book of the same name containing eighteen Dances of Universal Peace by Anahata Iradah. All the dances in the book (with 2 instructional DVD’s) are inspired by a sacred tradition of the earth."  You can order it here. 

Listen on YouTube
The first 30 seconds are an instrumental introduction which you can adapt with the musicians you have available to you. At about 2:30, the recording goes into a section of personal introductions and planting intentions, which is lovely to do as part of a retreat setting. Anahata made this recording in Brasil so most of the folks are planting their intentions in Portuguese.
