Dances of Universal Peace @ Loudwater Farm with Ralph, July 2009
|
Dances of Universal Peace: a powerful & joyful spiritual practice & experience, chanting while dancing in a circle. 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... |
Nourish your soul - awaken your inner light - feel the spirit of community - enjoy chanting and dancing in our circle.
No experience in singing or dancing required. Everyone is welcome: "If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance" (African saying).
"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, circle dance teacher)
"... You truly embodied the spirit of the dances in a way which I have not previously seen; and it was, indeed 'light and deep'." (Shan, London)
