****************************

Dances of Universal Peace are easily learned, with gentle movements that even "non-dancers" can greatly enjoy.  Singing sacred, ancient phrases from many spiritual traditions creates a full body healing vibration, and when conscious movement is added, these become powerful spiritual practices.  

Deepen into the Dances as a spiritual practice, with an emphasis on the Hawaiian and earth based traditions. Each dance will be fully taught, no experience is necessary. If you cannot dance, sit and sing!

Sharing hearts: Enjoy the company of those inclined to a spiritual path, with deep discussion and connection

Relax: and really enjoy a renewing vacation in paradise, with time for meditation, song and interfaith prayer. 

Explore: the lush natural wonders of the actively volcanic Big Island of Hawaii.  Enjoy a journey to a nearby warm pool one afternoon.

Experience: Land based intentional community life on an established permaculture farm!
