The celebrations that took place in and around dance lime trees kept people in touch with their profound, physical selves via the above-mentioned natural cycles, as well as through memories of the past and their ancestors, which were also linked to the place of celebration. Festivities brought together nature and culture, attuning people to the laws of existence and space and joining past, present and future. Every culture celebrated natural cycles in its own way, based on its past and present, in order to construct its future; each person was master of his own destiny.
