A Dances of Universal Peace Retreat - Friday, April 26 and Saturday April 27

We are the Rising Sun

As the winter snow recedes and the suns warmth returns to awaken the earth, we can renew ourselves and become nourished by the energies of the East, of springtime, of the dawning of the rising sun. This is a good time to replenish and expand the inner resources available to us, and to gently inquire into what in life is calling us forward. Mirabai and Kabir will serve as our guides on this journey together.
