Join us for the Dances of Universal Peace retreat weekend August 4-6, 2017 with special guest leader, Maitreya. Engage in the joy of conversation, concentration practices, purification and celebration as we touch the depths of life and bring silence into our everyday busy lives. No music or dance experience is required.
Maitreya brings a heart-opening and deepening presence to the Dances of Universal Peace through his instrumentation, voice, and love of the Dances as a community practice. A mureed and guide in the Sufi Ruhaniat, Maitreya leads a monthly dance circle at the Abode of the Message in upstate New York. He has led retreats and taught at numerous camps across the country from California to Massachusetts, and internationally in Mexico and Colombia
Maitreya has been a teacher of children for over a decade, weaving in teachings on breath, awareness, forgiveness, power and compassion everywhere he can.
