Homestead Organics Farm, 175 Skalkaho Hwy, Hamilton, MT 59840

What We Do

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 traditions, honoring the earth and bringing light to our lives.

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? 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!

Support Community Connections and Homestead Organic Farm

What We Do

No experience or partner needed in the Dances of Universal Peace. Each dance is taught in place: we are given a short song, easy steps, and the meaning (or attunement) of what we are doing. We set up the song and then go. It’s as easy as that. You become a musical instrument in a circle of fellow human beings. We do songs and chants from native sources, Christianity, Judaism, eastern Sufi sources and more.

The magic is the circle. Humans evolved singing and celebrating in circle dance. As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home.

From Zareen: My goal for this camp is to provide an inexpensive space where we can all come together, sing dance, and dive deeper into new possibilities. We will explore things we haven’t really thought about such as: How science and spirituality intersect, the conditioned mind and community issues, the non-dual wisdom of Turtle Island. Most important is how we use this time to recreate ourselves into co-creating relatives of the world rather than individual consumers. The overall vision is to come alive in new ways and jumpstart a dynamic participation in life that transforms the world… in other words: Sam Lewis’s Peace Project.

(Learn more about Zareen at MaPremZareen.com)

What’s it Like?

Dancing with us is instant belonging. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s name, but become immediate brothers and sisters. The camp is held by 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. We use our feet, simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart.

About Salmon Idaho

Along the Wild Salmon River

Here is a view of the our tent set up on the Hyde Creek ranch. Beautiful grass, beautiful trees… a great place to dance.

Salmon Idaho is exactly in the middle of nowhere in central Idaho. If you want to get away from it all this is the place to be. We are about an hour and a half south of Missoula, an hour and a half westish from Idaho Falls, and about five hours north of Boise.

Type us into Google maps and you’ll be able to plot a path to get here. We’ve compiled a list of motels, food sources and travel information for you!

Where to Stay?

We will be dancing five miles south of Salmon Idaho. There is lots of room for camping on site and there are motels nearby in town to stay.

Food and Lodging

Camp is not providing food or lodging. Restaurants, grocery stores, and motels are in town a few miles from our dance location. Bring your own cooking gear and kitchen items. Water is available and electricity will be solar (electric plugins are available nearby in the ranch shop).

* Click here for a page about Salmon. See where we dance, and all food and lodging options.

Camping

Plenty of room for tents, RVs and Car camping.

Our dance location has plenty of room for tents, car camping and RV’s. Bring your camp kitchen and have a nice wilderness experience with us along the wild Salmon River.

We have a large field to park and camp in. If you want to camp near your car there is also room for that.

The large parking area has lots of room for RVs and vans. There is no shade for a vehicle, but it’s not that hot here in Salmon in June.

There is no electricity available.

The water out of the spigot in the lawn is potable. You’ll need a longish hose if you need to fill your RV.

Showers are available at Connie and Wayne’s house in town and in the basement of the garage at the ranch. We are also assembling a solar shower.

Connie and Wayne have two RV spots at our house if you need more facilities. One spot has water, electricity and sewer. The other has water and electricity.

Mike has a lovely little stream running through his property, lined with trees. There is lots of room to set up tents up in the trees along the stream.

This is a working ranch. Dogs are welcome if they are ALWAYS on a leash.

Mike has his own dogs, and he also has chickens, ducks and the like.

We know your dog is lovely and wonderful, but they will be a guest in another dog’s territory and the leash makes everyone happy.

We’ve put together a page with information on getting your camping gear together.

Location

Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

Dance Location

We’ll be dancing in our tent this year up in the trees on Smith Canyon Road: 13293 S Smith Canyon Road. Food and lodging is not included in the retreat price, but we have great places to camp and can help you set up.

Here’s our lovely tent spot all ready to go!

How to get there

If you need any help planning your travels to Lava Hot Springs please check out the Lava Chamber of Commerce.

Flying into the Salt lake Airport is usually an easy flight from anywhere because it is a hub airport. The Salt Lake Express will bring you up to McCammon and we can help arrange a ride up to Lava (approx 20 miles). They have super comfortable busses with easy schedules and will pick you up right at the airport.

Here’s a link to the shuttle site. To see their rates and schedules choose to go from Salt Lake City (airport) UT to McCammon (Exit 47) ID. https://saltlakeexpress.com/

Driving

Lava Hot Springs is south of Idaho Falls/Pocatello, and north of Salt Lake city off of I25.

Turn East at McCammon to US 30. 11 minute drive.

To the Tent From Lava

GPS should take you to the campsite: 13293 S. Smith Canyon Road, Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Here’s directions from downtown Lava:

Head west on W Main St/Maughan Rd toward Center St — 0.3 mi

Turn left onto 4th Ave W/E Merrick Rd – 1.6 mi

Turn right onto S Dempsey Creek Rd/E Merrick Rd — 0.4 mi

Turn left onto S Dempsey Creek Rd — 1.2 mi

Turn right onto S Newbold Rd/S Smith Canyon Rd — 1.2 mi

Look for a rustic gateway, to the right, with 13293. Over a two-track culvert into the yard. We’ll put out signs.

There is cell phone service at the site and you can text Wayne at 208-756-8137 if you need assistance.

Lodging

Camp on Site

We are camping up in the cool trees in Smith Canyon. There is lots of room for tent and car camping. Space for RVs is limited. It’s a bit tight to turn around. If you have a big rig, or want hookups, we recommend Smith’s Trout Haven just a few miles away.

The well at the location is not working, so bring your own water. We’ll have a solar shower available. Best showers and bathing is down in the hot pools in town! It’s hot in the day, but delightfully cool in the evenings after our last dance session.

Cars/Vans: Plan on your spot not being exactly flat. You’ll be able to get level for sleeping if you have some leveling blocks. Lots of shade in the trees.

Tents: Your tent will likely be not exactly flat… so plan for your own comfort. Plenty of spots in the cool shade.

Motel: One of our best recommendations for a motel in Lava is the Auro Soma Lava Hotel & Spa. It’s the location of the labrynth, and if you stay there you get to soak in their most amazing pool.

Cabin Rooms:

There are five rooms available in Kim’s cabin. It’s rustic and the running water is not working at this time. But it’s an adventure! The toilet can flush with carted-in. The shower also drains. It’s a rustic cabin. You must book your spot with Zareen and Wayne. Bring your own bedding.

Motels

Lava has many motels to choose from. The Chamber of Commerce website for Lava has listings of all the local motels. http://www.lavahotsprings.org

There is a full service RV campground a few miles from camp: Smiths Trout Haven

We recommend the Auro Soma Lava Hotel & Spa. The motel complex that used to be called Auro Soma, with the big private hot pool, is now the Lava hotel. https://thelavahotel.com/. If you stay there you get free use of the private pool.

Food

All meals are do-it-yourself. You’ll discover that everyone loves to share and eat together. There are restaurants in town and we’ll have plenty of room near the tent for camping kitchens. Bring your own water.

Hope to see you soon!

How to come to the Mexico camp.

The Puerto Morelos Dance Camp has been meeting since 2002. Founded by Bernie and Adrianna Heideman, it has become a unique tradition attracting a diverse attendance from North America and Canada during those countries’ winter months, and acting as a connecting event with dancers and Dance leaders in Mexico. The camp also features many offerings from the community that facilitate a deepening experience of connection and the sacred with art, qigong, singing circles, meditation, kirtan, cacao ceremonies, philosophical discussions and of course the beloved Rumi Cafe.

Let’s face it, it is often fear of the unknown that prevents us from taking the first step towards an adventure. I thought if I made the water a little less muddy, you might be inclined to join us dancing on the sand, wading in the ocean, relaxing on the beach, and enjoying the local cuisine. Here goes…..

How do you get there?

Puerto Morelos is 40km south and accessed from the airport of the resort town of Cancun (CUN).

Once you get there all you have to do is get to the dance camp. My experience is that there are a couple ways to get to either of these camps; taxi, shuttle or find another dancer going there that will share a ride with you. I have taken advantage of all of these ways and usually it isn’t very expensive.

Out of Cancun you can catch a shuttle. There is a company CANCUN

SHUTTLE contact@cancunshuttle.com and they have vans that will shuttle just you or a bunch of folks down to Puerto Morelos and it is really cheap if it’s split between riders. Again, I spent 600₽ ($35US) the last time I was down there. And of course you can find other people who are arriving at the same time and ride share that way too.

Speaking the Language

Don’t worry so much about speaking the language. Yes, it is awesome if you know and understand Spanish but don’t let it be a roadblock to your adventure. Google translate is a wonderful app that you can install on your phone and then use it to help you; ask directions, find the right words, and help you communicate when you need it. English is also widely understood especially in Puerto Morelos.

When you are with the dance community at the event, there is no doubt you will be doing things, eating out and wondering about with people who are familiar with the area or know enough of the language to help.

Money

Once you get to town there are ATM machines that will give you Peso’s at a fairly good exchange rate but will also charge a small fee just for using the ATM. No doubt you have experienced this when you use ATMs in cities that don’t have your bank branch. Also give your bank a heads up that you will be traveling so they don’t pull an unexpected prank and freeze your card. See the video below about exchange rates.

How much will you need? That all depends on how much you want to spend. There are grocery stores to buy the food you need if you have a refrigerator and cook facilities in your lodging.

Lodging

Camp staff has rented a full motel on the beach this year. So lodging is as easy as contacting the registrar. Bring-your-own-roommate and cost is quite low.

Dancing

You can expect 60-80 people at camp. If you’ve been to any dance circles with us you’ll be sure to immediately see people you know. Dancing in this field of love is an amazing experience with fabulous leaders.

Spread the love!
