She dances on holy ground, always seeking to awaken people to the needs of planet Earth. Such a caring artistry, combined with a deep concern for liturgy, makes Carla DeSola the most influential performing artist of the last 20 years." 〔"Omega West - Statements." http://www.omegawest.org/statements.html〕 DeSola describes her own work in her book, The Spirit Moves: A Handbook of Dance by saying that, "I pray that everyone, sitting cramped inside a pew, body lifeless, spine sagging and suffering, weary with weight and deadness, will be given space in which to breathe and move, will be wooed to worship with beauty and stillness, song and dance--dance charged with life, dance that lifts up both body and spirit, as we will be a holy, dancing, loving, praying, and praising people." 〔"Dance as Faith Journey." http://www.bwcumc.org/news/dance-faith-journey〕〔"Omega West" http://www.omegawest.org/〕〔"Bring on the Dancing Girls" http://www.angelusonline.org/index.php?section=articles&subsection=show_article&article_id=332〕 Carla DeSola is the co-creator of ''Beyond Words: An Interfaith Ritual for Peace''. Originally created in November 2003, with the generous support from the Center for the Arts, Religion and Education of the Graduate Theological Union,〔The Center for the Arts, Religion and Education of the Graduate Theological Union http://care-gtu.org〕 "Beyond Words" is an interfaith celebration with a common message of peace, and has been offered in houses of worship in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. This ritual is offered to communities because of the special relevance of interfaith dialogue in these critical times. DeSola recognizes the importance of shared interfaith input in the designing of each presentation of the event and invites the religious leaders to be an integral part of Beyond Words. Each production is tailored to the needs of the community and dimensions of their space.
