Sacred Chant & Dance

On September 12th at 9:15, everyone is warmly welcome to attend Sacred Chant & Dance. There’s no need to know how to dance.  You may participate sitting in a chair or standing, singing and/or playing a drum, etc.  It’s a spiritual practice which I hope you will find is also relaxing and fun.  Among the familiar dances there will be some new ones, easily learned, and I’ll introduce a lovely contemporary version of The Lord’s Prayer in Qigong.  See you there.
