Description

Dancing Our Life Purpose: A Dances of Universal Peace Retreat

Led by Regional Dance Leaders and Musicians
With Universal Worship on Sunday morning

Over the course of the weekend, we will immerse ourselves in the Dances of Universal Peace and the Elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air to clarify and energize our individual sense of Life Purpose. The retreat will conclude with the Universal Worship Flower Service and Dances of Universal Peace.

Sessions will be curated by Morgan Rivers, Conie Borchardt, Heather Hayat Godsey, and Saleem Adam Wolter with assistance from dance leaders and musicians in the region. The Sunday morning Universal Worship service will be coordinated by Heather Hayat Godsey with assistance from cherags in the region.

The retreat location is the lovely Newton Christian Conference Center just outside of Newton, Iowa. https://www.newtonccc.org/

Dance all weekend, an evening, or all day!

Early Bird Registration ($100) for the Full weekend is available until March 1, 2018, midnight. After this date, the Full Weekend is $125. Individual Day Registration is also available. Please consider attending Friday and Saturday together as we believe the retreat will have its greatest effect taken cumulatively.

When registering, please remember to include your dance registration, your lodging preference, and a meal package. Lodging and meal registrations are due by April 4, 2018.

Walk-in dancers can pay registration at the door.

You may pay by credit card here or by mailing a check. Retreat organizers benefit from check payments by saving on payment processing fees. Choose "Pay by check" in the Payment Method, then mail your remittance to Points Of Light Music, PO Box 11791, St. Paul, MN 55111. Retreat organizers appreciate your prompt follow up.

For Dance Leaders and Musicians

Come and offer your dances and your musical support for the Dances! We can only create these circles together!

We will gather on Thursday afternoon to meet each other and get to know what's in the room. Dance Leaders, we ask you to bring at least one Dance to share during this time. Musicians, please bring your drums and instruments to support the Dances. The curators will come with visions of what they want to create and will form the dance sets for the weekend retreat from your offerings as well as invite missing elements (dances from a particular tradition, up-tempo, partner, etc.) as they become clear.

Please arrive around 2 p.m. on Thursday to check-in. We will gather at 3 p.m. for our first session.

After the retreat lunch on Sunday we are planning an hour long "Harvest" time with all leaders and musicians in attendance to reflect on the retreat. Please plan on joining us if your travel permits.

Your service in leading and playing music for the retreat is your registration fee. Room and board is your only financial commitment. If staying in the Lodge, please select both the Fri-Sun option and the Thu option.



FAQs

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

What's the refund policy?
