            Dances Of Universal Peace

About the Dances [Taken from the PeaceWorks website]

From the beginning of time, sacred movement, song and story have brought people together - at times of seasonal ceremony and celebration, as part of everyday life and life passages, in daily renewal and meditation, etc... The Dances of Universal Peace are part of this timeless tradition of Sacred Dance.

As in these timeless mystic traditions, the Dances use simple music, lyrics, and movements to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and others. No musical or dance experience of any kind is required and everyone is welcomed to join in. Participation, not presentation, is the focus. No special attire is required, although comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best. Participants join hands forming a circle with the Dance leader and other musicians in the center. Throughout the evening, the leader teaches the group the words, melody, and movements for the next Dance and often provides some background history about that particular Dance. The teaching is always done from a compassionate heart in a comfortable, quiet, and often sacred setting.

The movements and songs drawn from over 400 Dances include themes of peace (both inner and outer), healing (the Earth, individuals, and the global family), and the celebration of life's great mystery. Dancers focus on peace and harmony creating a sense of solidarity and community while celebrating the underlying unity of all the spiritual traditions of the Earth. By experiencing these many traditions, a greater understanding and appreciation of other cultures, as well as one's own heritage, is gained.

When Dance lyrics include sacred phrases in their own native languages, special attention is given to insure that all have ample opportunity to pronounce the foreign words comfortably and correctly. Leaders usually make a point to have the group first speak and then sing the unfamiliar words. Most Dances are only four lines long and repeated many times, so learning is usually quick and easy - within ten minutes people are moving, singing, and sharing together.

The mood of the Dances is infinitely variable, evoking feelings of love, joy, and compassion. Whether invoking the compassion of the Buddhist Qwan Yin, celebrating the playful energy of Krishna, or experiencing the related emotion of any other spiritual figure, dancers take part in a dynamic relationship between the group, individuals, and the self.


Unity of Religious Ideals

The idea that you are different and I am different; your religion is different and my religion is different; your belief is different and my belief is different - that will not unite, that will only divide humanity. Those who with the excuse of their great faith in their own religion, hurt the feeling of another and divide humanity, whose Source and goal is the same, abuse religion, what ever be their faith. The Message, whenever, at whatever period it came to the world, did not come to a certain section of humanity. It did not come to raise only some few people who perhaps accepted the faith, the Message, or a particular organized church. The rain does not fall in a certain land only: the sun does not shine upon a certain country only. All that is from God is for all souls... Blessing is for every soul; for every soul, whatever be their faith or belief.

                                                   From the Beginning

    In the
summer of 1984, Carolyn Horvath attended a week long Creation Spirituality Retreat at Omega Institute in Rinebeck, New York. Matt Fox and his team from the Center for Culture and Creation Spirituality led the retreat. Neil Douglas-Klotz and his wife, Kamae Miller (then Khalida Bol) offered Dances of Universal Peace as morning body prayer. In 1986, Carolyn was accompanied by Tom Leonhardt for another Creation Spirituality Retreat at Omega Institute. Once again, Neil and Kamae presented Dances of Universal Peace as body prayer.

Carolyn was particularly drawn to the Dances and began to lead Dances inspired by the Native American Traditions during retreats she and Tom were offering. In

January 1991,we led Dances for gatherings at St. Malachi’s in Cleveland, at Plymouth Church in Cleveland Heights, Christ Episcopal Church in Shaker Heights.

In February, at Christ Episcopal Church and Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Columbia Station.

The retreat was entitled, Jesus, Desert Mystic. It was held a the Christian Brothers Retreat Center in Plano, Illinois. The focus of this retreat was the Aramaic Lord's Prayer.

Following this retreat both Carolyn and Tom were smitten by the Dances and were encouraged by Kamae and Neil who said, "if you want to dance start a Circle." In the years that followed others began leading and undertook the process of being mentored for certification to lead Dances of Universal Peace: Royce Crall, Jessie Feriols, Jonathan Harrison, Kris Kiko-Cozy, Tom Malcolm (now in Yellow Springs, Ohio), Eileen Pappalardo, David Vargo.
