Dances of Universal Peace

Stuart McKinnon — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:44:57 +0000

The Dances of Universal Peace are a moving meditation practice involving simple movements and music shared in a circle. A dance leader, supported by musicians, teaches participants a chant and movements. Soon, the circle is singing and moving together, deepening into the meditation. The dances offer a joyous and multi-cultural way to touch the spiritual essence within, share heartfelt connection with others and experience deep inner peace.

No experience or partner is required – the dances are easy to learn and are taught to the whole group each time. Bring non-marking indoor shoes and a water bottle. By donation.
