The Dances of Universal Peace are a spiritual practice in motion. Drawing on sacred phrases, songs and poetry from many wisdom traditions of the earth, the Dances blend chants, live music and simple movements into a living experience of unity and peace. We dance to create peace within ourselves, our communities and the world. No experience is necessary; just an open heart, willing spirit and respect for the sacred space we create.

A $5-20 donation is requested. Please don't let lack of funds keep you from attending.There are plenty of other ways to support the Dances... just ask us!

A Home-Baked Open Mic to Bridge Divides - with Dances of Universal Peace

Sat Nov 9th 6:00pm - 9:00pm
The Foundation of Light391 Turkey Hill Rd, Ithaca, NY 14850, USA 
 


As part of the FOL's Fall Fundraising & Membership Weekend, we're hosting a Home-Baked Open Mic with Dances of Universal Peace. The theme for the evening is Bridging Divides. With so much toxic polarity in the world these days, we'd like to devote an evening to Unity, Peace, and Community Healing & Fun. It's the weekend after the election, so regardless of the outcome, healing will be important.

Come express your talents and abilities with the community! Whether you're a singer, play an instrument, read poetry or prose, dance/move, or do performance art - we applaud and encourage you to be part of this fun and engaging evening. Please do your best to align your material with the evening's theme.

At the beginning of the evening there's an opportunity to join in on a few Dances of Universal Peace. This is an easy to learn moving meditation with song and simple movements. Together we will create an energy field of love and care that flows out into the local community and beyond.

Wondering about the Home-Baked aspect of things? Volunteers will provide baked goods and there will be tea and maybe even some hot chocolate! If you'd like to volunteer to bake something, please contact the FOL office at in...@thefoundationoflight.org.

FOL board members will be on hand to share information about becoming a member and/or volunteer. There will be opportunities to invite your friends to become members too.

Flow:
6pm: Dances of Universal Peace
6:45pm: Introduction & social time with baked goods & tea
7:15pm: MCs Eva Hunter and Ira Kamp will start us off with a song or two!
7:20pm-9pm: Open Mic slots (every 10 minutes)

Cost: Donate or Join! Suggested donation of $10 - $20. Join FOL at the event and admission is free. All proceeds benefit the Foundation of Light.

Hosted by FOL Staff, Board Members & Volunteers

Hi friends- The Foundation of Light has arranged a sharing time and dish to pass from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, just before the dances of universal peace, which are then followed by a dessert social and open mic from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. . The sharing time is to help us all heal and clear from our country's current turmoil and transition. It won't be a political discussion, will be a time for us to share and find Center. 

Peace,
Azad
