Dances of Universal Peace in Oct. 17-18 sessions
A weekend of Dances of Universal Peace comes to Salt Spring with an Oct. 17-18 visit by two dancers from Nelson.
Mirabai Wolf Willow and Kabir Stuart McKinnon are dance leaders with the active and vibrant Nelson Dance of Universal Peace community.
According to a press release, “It is their joy to be able to bring a weekend of dances to Salt Spring as a way of building a web of connection that promotes peace in its personal and transpersonal physical and esoteric manifestations. They accompany themselves with guitar and drums and have a great love of singing.”
Three sessions of dances will be held over two days at Ganges Yoga Studio in Grace Point Square. Peace dances from all cultures and spiritual traditions are the focus for the Friday evening session from 7 to 9 p.m. and the Saturday afternoon session from 3 to 5 p.m. On the evening of Saturday, Oct. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m., it will be an offering of Zikr dances inspired by Sufi traditions.
The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, joyous meditative circle dances that use sacred phrases, music and movements from the many spiritual traditions of the earth. The intention of the dances is to create peace within and without. A dance session is the co-creation of dance as atmosphere, sound and movement in the service of peace.
Admission to the sessions is by donation.
All are welcome and no experience is needed.
