Dances of Universal Peace in Hamilton

Come join us for an afternoon of circle dance and music in the Bitterroot Valley Montana. The afternoon is led by the Montana Dances of Universal Peace team and more! This diverse team will carry us through many spiritual traditions of the world in the ancient practice of community circle dance.

No experience or partner needed. Each dance is taught in place: we are given a short song easy steps and the meaning (or attunement) of what we are doing. Then we move! We do songs from a wide variety of sources: native Christianity Judaism or eastern Sufi practices. Often they are simple chants or inspiring poems.

The magic is the circle. Each person (you included) is what creates this magic. Humans evolved singing and celebrating in circle dance. As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home.

What’s it Like? Dancing with us is like joining a tribe. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s names but become immediate brothers and sisters. The music brings us together. The camp is held by elder wisdom with experienced leaders who have been doing this for over thirty years. Often something new like this can be uncomfortable but we know how to bring you in with a smooth transition from aloneness to togetherness. There is an essence in every human being that yearns for togetherness. We use our feet simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart.

It doesn’t matter what you wear… just as long as you are there!

Two events are happening at Open Ended this Sunday. Kirtan starts at 11 followed by a light lunch and then Dances of Universal Peace at 4.00.

Have a full day of joy.

Join us for Kirtan at 11 am, followed by a light lunch. Kirtan is a yoga practice of simple call-and-response chants to calm the mind and access our true inner nature. Many call it a path of devotion… we focus on ‘who’ is in this state of devotion and how our true nature is constantly in unity.

Singing together is a simple way to lift us all in harmony and community. Zareen and Wayne bring the chant to life with guitar, drums and vocal harmony in a universal attunement to traditions around the world.
