SOMERSET, ENGLANDUNICORN VILLAGE DANCING SPIRIT CAMP - 27th CAMP
17 – 25 August, 2019 Description:
The Unicorn Dancing Spirit Camp is the grandfather of all Dances of Universal Peace camps in Europe and attracts 300 people from many parts of the world. The camp has been the inspiration for camps in many other countries that are still going today. Spirituality is a many-splendoured love that we honour in all its forms. Hinduism through bhajan and yoga, Buddhism’s mindfulness meditations, Sufism’s danced prayer of zikr. We have Aramaic and more western Christian prayer, Native American Dance of Life, and Earth Magic too. Above all we have the Dances of Universal Peace, whose central purpose is to soften distinctions and differences that arise between people as a result of their convictions... and the universally popular Circle Dances from many European folk traditions. Dances of Universal Peace began 50 years ago in California as a modern Sufi teaching birthed by Samuel Lewis, a teacher within the Chishti order. They work deeply on the various bodies – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual – to heal and clear. We sing mantra and other sacred phrases as we follow simple movements in a circle in celebration and meditation so that higher states of awareness arise within. You need not consider yourself an able dancer or good singer to take part as the essence of your enjoyment has more to do with heartfelt opening than previous experience. For more than a quarter of a century Unicorn Camps have attracted teachers at the highest level of attainment and influence and have seeded camps in such countries as Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Russia and America. Entirely new aspects of wisdom have often arisen in thousands of workshops – Harmonic Temple, 7 Words, new songs, new dances, new flower essences, novel methods of healing with crystals, sound and linguistics, empowerment of teens and adults, and other evolutionary experiments in 3rd-millennium social processes.
