[Yogis] Fwd: New Year's Eve Dances

[prothero]

Folks:
This might be interesting to you. I'm playing guitar. Doing the Dances  
of Universal Peace is a great way to bring in the New Year.
Peace,
Bill

> Happy Holidays to all the Beloveds,
>
> I have several exciting events to share with you!
>
> New Year’s Eve
> Great news—we are again joining with dance circles across the globe  
> in welcoming in the New Year (and new decade) with the Dances of  
> Universal Peace!
>
> We received lots of feedback that last year’s event, attended by at  
> least 80 people, was a wonderful way to begin the New Year. So we  
> are keeping the same format:
>
> 8:30     Light refreshments and socializing
> 9:00     Dances of Universal Peace
> 11:00   Candlelighting ceremony, meditation
> 12:00   First Dances of 2010
>
> Last year, members of Tingsha provided their “soundscape” experience  
> to guide us into meditation, then, at midnight, brought us out of  
> the silence with the sounds of their beautiful gongs. It was a very  
> special part of the evening, and we hope they will be able to join  
> us again this year.
>
> The venue will again be the Center of the Heart (Church of Religious  
> Science), 487 North Turnpike Road, in Santa Barbara. Donation is $20.
>
> We do need volunteers to help with providing and setting up  
> refreshments, publicizing the event (putting up posters, handing out  
> postcards, sending out the word via personal email lists), setting  
> up the room and putting the chairs back afterwards, and cleaning up  
> the kitchen area. Please let me know if you are available to help.
>
> So, put this on your calendar now and start spreading the word!
>
> Third Thursday Dance Circle
> In order to concentrate on our big New Year’s Eve event, we have  
> decided to forego the regular 3rd Thursday dance circle for December.
>
> Thank you to everyone who participated in the November dance circle.  
> The filming turned out very well. (Thank you, Rick Goodfriend.) And  
> it was a thrill for me to have enough people to lead “My House Shall  
> Be a House of Prayer for All People!”
>
> Additional Events
> (1)            The Sunburst Community is holding an evening of the  
> Dances of Universal Peace on Saturday, Dec 12.  The potluck dinner  
> will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by the Dances, starting at 7:00  
> p.m. For more information, see: http://www.sunburstonline.org/upcomingevents.htm
>
> (2)            Tingsha’s Winter Solstice Harmonic Renewal Sound  
> Journey will take place on Sunday, December 20th, starting at 7:00  
> p.m. This gathering is a unique, musical sound experience. Six  
> musicians create a live sound journey with the use of Tibetan bowls  
> and bells, gongs, flutes, tingshas, shakers, drums, rattles,  
> tamboura, harp, and voice. Participants join together in ceremony by  
> creating a seasonal altar, then experience a vibrational "surround- 
> sound" atmosphere that is wonderful for journeying, meditation, or  
> relaxation. Tickets ($20) are available in advance only. Please call  
> Bob or Shanon Sedivy at 684-1865 for tickets and location  
> information. Note: space is very limited, and the event fills quickly.
>
> (3)            The Dances of Universal Peace Quarterly Retreat will  
> take place over Martin Luther King, Jr., weekend—January 16 to 18.  
> This retreat features Dance leaders Tasnim Fernandez, Tui  
> Wilschinsky, and Yarrow Nelson. Registration is only $99 (postmarked  
> through Dec. 31), which includes heated cabin lodging and vegetarian  
> dinners. Our theme this year is "Inner and Outer Health through the  
> Dances." You can see more information and print out the registration  
> form at: http://www.openheartmusic.org/wq10.pdf.
>
> I wish you and your loved ones all the best during these holidays.  
> May you have a Happy Hanukkah, Good Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy  
> Kwanzaa, and a Blessed New Year!
>
> May all beings be well, may all beings be happy. Peace, peace, peace.
