The Dances of Universal Peace are spiritual, heart-felt, easy-to-do circle dances guided by the Dance Leader step by step, and accompanied by music. These dances help us connect with Divine Qualities, prayers, and the spirit. mantras, chants, and simple songs from the World’s traditions — open to all!

Zikr is the remembrance of unity with spirit and all of creation through the singing and chanting of sacred phrases. These simple movements are evocative and powerful vehicles of personal elevation and transformation by emptying and embodying divine qualities.

Musicians please let us know you will be joining the Dance Circle 🙂
