Hey there,
It's time for the monthly Dances for Universal Peace gathering that
happens the first Tuesday of the month from 8 to 9 pm as part of the usual
weekly drum circle. Please come drum, dance or chant.
This month, we're celebrating Jupiter turning direct that night. If
you've felt it was hard to get projects going or perhaps were more
introspective than usual, it may have been because of this giant planet
(which represents the concept of expansion and universal wisdom) has been
appearing to go backward in its orbit since June. That ends on Tuesday.
Teri Thompson is now leading a second Dances for Universal Peace
gathering as part of the Monday open-mic night at Cosmic Cup which focuses
on spiritual writings. It happens on third week of the month in the last
hour from 9 to 10 pm. This one is a bit more introspective than Tuesday
nights and features at least one dance which incorporates spontaneous
poetry readings.
Give yourself a spiritual energy recharge and come to the dance!
peace... Amy
PS: On Oct. 21 we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the circle.
Party details to come!
