SUMMER DANCE WORKSHOP: Moving Physically to be Everywhere Spiritually
Thursday, July 23-Sunday, July 26, 2020
The work and prayer of sacred dance will provide participants the preliminary steps toward knowing one's true self and walking on an individual path toward spiritual wholeness.
"It is not what you are or have been that God looks at with his merciful eyes, but what you would be." (14th century English mystic and author of The Cloud of Unknowing)
Join dancers, musicians, artists, liturgists, and poets of faith to voice, dance and step into new ways of creativity and prayer. Our work will help us recharge our energies and commitment to personal renewal.
