Dances of Universal Peace

8/30/2018

2nd THURSDAY
6:30-8:30PM
Friendship Hall

Dances of Universal Peace (DUP) are a spiritual practice in motion, employing singing and dancing the sacred phrases of the world's religions. Their intention is to raise consciousness and promote peace between diverse religions. The DUP are of North American Sufic origin. They combine chants from many world faiths with dancing, whirling, and a variety of movement with singing.

Five to 500 dancers stand in a circle often around a leader and musicians, with acoustic instruments, in the center. All dances are participatory and spectatorship is somewhat discouraged because joy is the goal, not technical performance of specified dance steps or forms. Dances are facilitated by a dance leader often playing a drum, guitar, flute or other stringed instrument. For lyrics, dances borrow inspirational poetry, quotes and chants which are sung as the dance is performed. Chants are often sacred phrases put to traditional, contemporary or occasionally improvised melodies. A wide range of languages are deliberately employed including Arabic, Aramaic, English, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Persian, and Sanskrit. Dance promoters use diverse religious practices, chants and languages to demonstrate how joy lives at the heart of each and all religions.

Facilitator: Susie Leonard Weller, M.A.
Synopsis: Participants will be reading Eric Butterworth's book to fully participate in the discussions. Here's an overview of the video series:
This classic work by Eric Butterworth lays the foundation for the science and structure of Unity and New Thought traditions. For the 40th anniversary of this book, Maya Angelou wrote in the foreword: What I found to be so compelling in Butterworth’s teachings, and still do, is that the power of God, the essential spirit, is within each of us. We can ignore that, or we can draw upon it and decide to grow. Unity is part of a non-dualist spiritual tradition. In the next 7 weeks, you’ll be delving into the following themes as you nourish your spiritual growth by deepening your experience of the divine within you:

The Great Discovery: recognize the power of the divine within you
The Great Decision: unleash the power of choice and grace
Your Thought Is Your Choice: raise your consciousness to experience the “Be Attitudes”
Forgotten Art of Prayer: pray to re-establish your mind in the One mind of God.
The Laws of Living and Being: connect to your unity with Spirit
Forgiveness and Healing: remember your wholeness
The Great Demonstration: realize the depth of your divine potential
