This taste of our true nature - as Universal Peace - opens to the possibility of a deep spiritual revolution within the person. Come join the circle at this autumn harvest time, to gather in community and experience this unique and transformational practice. We will also have moments of silent meditation between the dances, and people are welcome to have a rest when needed.
