Large Community and Small Heros
Hello happy dancer and lover of life!
Wayne and I have been traveling around to a few dance camps this winter, and are constantly amazed at the beauty, grace, and solidarity of our worldwide community. I noticed this especially in the communities that have had years of dance leader training, where so many beautiful beings are sharing their grace in the circles.
Dance Leader Training
So good news! Our beloved Ginger Nuria is coming back to Lava camp this spring – and she, Carol Hanson and I are starting a 3-Year dance deepening group. This group will help our blooming leaders learn the many skills necessary to lead the dance. It is also an opportunity for people who may not want to become leaders, but wish to deepen in the dance and the spiritual traditions that inspire us. But mostly, it is an opportunity for the Lava Dance Community to grow and mature in our connection with each other, and with the entire Dances of Universal Peace world.
Yes, you can literally travel the world attending dance amps and meeting musical lovers everywhere.
Here are the first two dates:
Open Hands Open Hearts Training: Oct 7, 8, 9 2016
and March 10, 11, 12, 2017
Heroic Acts
It’s easy to feel that we live in a world where we do not make a difference. So I would like two point out two heroic acts from our dance community. Our own beloved Melissa and her husband have been working for years to participate in the Foster Care program. This week they started their first journey into taking youth into their home. This is not the easiest thing in the world – so everyone please point your heart energy towards Ogden, Utah and send a little love that way!
Those of you who were at Wilderness Dance Camp and the Parliament of World Religions will remember drummer Salim – who lives in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. Yesterday I flipped on the news and there was Salim standing up in a large group of angry people who were trying to keep Syrian refugees out of the valley! Salim stood right up and gave a passionate speech for love and tolerance.
A huge salute to Salim – you can watch him by clicking on this news page link.
