THE PEACEFUL SISTERS
Susan Ashley, Catherine Sugas, Jane Sky

The Dances of Universal Peace are simple circle dances and walking meditations to invoke a direct experience of Divine Attributes, using Names of God and sacred phrases from major religions of the world.

These are Sacred Dances, but nothing is sacred simply by calling it so. A sense a sacredness comes from within. It is an attitude with which one approaches an activity. Concentrating upon a sacred phrase, sometimes called mantra or wazifa, centers the Dance. With each repetition feel the phrase touching your being in a deeper way.

Watch your breath. Feel the energy of the group. Listen to the Dance leader and the people on both sides of you. When the dance ends, enter the silence. This is the opportunity to hear what has been created. In this silence one can absorb all the qualities evoked by the Dance .

AFTER THE DANCES WILL BE A SHORT COFFEE BREAK, FOLLOWED BY MEDITATION AND CLASSES GOING DEEPER INTO THE VARIOUS RELIGIONS THAT INSPIRE EACH SECTION OF DANCES. WE WILL MAKE HAND OUTS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO GO DEEPER INTO LEARNING THE DANCES AND STUDYING THE MYSTICISM AND PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THEM.
