The theme of this Dances of University Peace workshop is Cosmic Celebration. We will journey through various spiritual traditions of the world. We will experience movement and rest as we explore dances and chants with themes of the season, healing, and connection with the Earth and ourselves.On Saturday evening, we will be dancing the Aramaic Lord's Prayer, a moving meditation with life-changing wisdom using the words Yeshua (Jesus) taught to his disciples. As we learn each line, we move together chanting in Aramaic, the original language used by Jesus, to experience a deeper connection to this spiritual practice of transformational love.
The workshop will be led by Alima Jeanne Whiting. She is a musician, Dances of Universal Peace leader and mentor, creator of The Movement of the Month using the Dances with elementary students, co-founder of the Vermont Institute for Joy and Movement, former music teacher (31 years), and brings music and singing to assisted living/memory care homes in Vermont where she lives in the Green Mountains.
