Dances of Universal Peace are a participatory form of circle dance done around the globe to promote world peace, community, and personal inner peace.  Open to the whole community – to every one of any age, tradition, background and belief. The Dances were founded in the late 1960's in San Francisco and are now done in hundreds of cities worldwide. They consist of uncomplicated movements performed in a circle, combined with short lyrics, ranging from meditative to celebratory in quality. Together with live music, they create an uplifting atmosphere and a sense of unity and community. We honor all spiritual and wisdom traditions, using words, mantras, songs and phrases from Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Sufi, native traditions and more. No experience necessary. Everything is fully taught each time. It’s comfortable, joyful, fun, and deep.  No performers and no audience.  This ongoing event is for the whole community. 

Dances of Universal Peace have been taking place in Oceanside area since 2003, often at Errington Hall, but now in a lovely large room on good Nature Farms, across from the Buddhist Tibetan Temple.  Car pool opportunities from Nanaimo and Courtenay.
