Sacred Harmony
| NEXT meeting with Ralph & Vitalija Sat. 15 May ? (to be confirmed!) |
Be prepared for a light and deep, uplifting experience.
|
Dances of Universal Peace: singing simple chants while holding hands and dancing in a circle - a powerful experience. Ralph’s & Vitalija’s style is intense, deep into the heart - and yet light and humorous, supported with drum & guitar.
We love playing with polarities by offering a mix of fiery ecstatic dances, slow meditative flowing movements, joyful Jewish dances, harmony Hallelujas, Sufi zikrs, lots of partner dances - and adding harmonies (men and women singing different voices at the same time). In the left link box you find more about the Peace Dances, about Ralph & Vitalija, feedback from dancers, photos, articles, our programme & more... |
Peace Dancing with Ralph at Loudwater Farm, London-Rickmansworth, July 2009
"I like your style of leading very much. I very much appreciated the variety in the dances you both introduce, and the way the energy is very celebrational, playful and ecstatic at times as well as going into softer meditative places... The inclusive way you are, as both individuals and together gave me a safe and sweet feeling which helped me to leave aside my critical tendencies and to feel embraced by the circle." (Stefan Freedman, international circle dance teacher) - Read more Feedback
Do something for your soul - awaken your inner light - feel the spirit of community - enjoy chanting and dancing in our circle.
