Special & NEW 'Dances of Universal Peace' Events & Changes (sorted by date)Sat.13 Feb Islington: Healing Dances of Universal Peace with Ralph & Vitalija, 2-6pmNEW! Sun 14 Feb LON-Sydenham: Spiritual Walks, 1.45 pm Mayo ParkDear Friend in Dance and Spirit.I hope you will enjoy this new venture here in South East London: Steps into Spirit - Meditative Walks in South East London Walking is a simple activity and yet, when practiced in a focussed way, walking becomes a way of learning about oneself and develop a path towards the embodiement of all human qualities. It is also a wonderful and simple way of improving our physical health. When we walk with intention, we develop an awareness of: concentration, breath practice, centering, connection, self-effacement and attunement. We will walk as a group, doing a small number of circuits in Mayo Park in Sydenham, using simple sentences or mantras to support our concentration on both our breath and the rhythm of our walking movements. We will walk in silence, with times to connect with each other and check-in at various times, such as when we will change mantra. Please come and join me by the "Pavillon" (now closed) by the entrance to Mayo Road. Cost: Free - but a small donation will be welcome to publicise these events further. Looking forward to walking with you, in Love, Joy and Peace, Joel Xhaard, tel: 020 8291 5310 - e: Sat / Sun 20 / 21 March 2010: Harmony Peace Dances * the 10th weekend * with Ralph & Vitalija, Loudwater Farm, London-RickmansworthCome and celebrate our 10th Peace Dance weekend at this place of mystical experiences for over 30 years.... |

"The dancing and singing that you created for us, at Richmond yesterday, Ralph, led me to that beautiful and undeniable feeling of peace and harmony within. It is when you see love in the eyes of another, and you give love to them, through the dancing, that your heart fills with love and gentleness. To see devotion in the heart of another, brings it out in ourselves. Yesterday, I felt that I was dancing with other lovers of God, (or the Universal Source - whatever name we choose to give it), and that we shared in the beauty of the Divine together. Is there any more beautiful feeling than the feeling of mystical love? I felt that in my being, when I walked home afterwards.
With loving gratitude." (Ann H., London-Richmond, October 2009) - Read more Feedback

Based on an ancient Tibetan practice of praising and embodying the Great Goddess Tara. The traditional Tibetan prayer used in this dance offering is a complete practice of personal transformation. The dancers are led into a mandala of dance, instructed in the subtlety of sacred movement and mudra. They learn experientially the philosophy, meditations and visualizations of the traditional Tantric Buddhist practice. The dance has been taught and offered as a prayer to communities worldwide; It is a ritual offered by groups of women worldwide as a prayer of peace, protection, wisdom and capability. Prema Dasara (the Spiritual leader of the Tara Dhatu Organisation) created the dance, and Anahata Iradah (a DUP mentor) wrote much of the music for the Tara Dances.
TARA is the embodiment of wisdom compassion and power. TARA is known in many cultures as the ever accessible, all encompassing Great Mother Protector
Men are welcomed to do the Tara Dance (in the outer circle, as Protectors).
