JULY 2010
Tuesday, 13 July, 7.30-9.30pm
Dances of Universal Peace led by Nick Prater
From the beginning of time, sacred movement, song and story have brought people together - at times of seasonal ceremony and celebration, as part of everyday life and life passages, in daily renewal and meditation, etc... The Dances of Universal Peace are part of this timeless tradition of Sacred Dance. The Dances use simple music, lyrics, and movements to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and others. No musical or dance experience of any kind is required and everyone is welcomed to join in. The mood of the Dances is infinitely variable, evoking feelings of love, joy, and compassion.
Suggested donation: £5

Pia has been involved with Family Constellation work for 7 years, having worked with several different facilitators.
Eight full participants will be given the opportunity to present and work on their own material. There will also be the opportunity to work as a representative in other peoples’ constellations, which is also a very deep and exciting experience.
