Memorable, Meaningful & Heartfelt

By Celia Chapman

"If you missed the Florida Dance Leaders Retreat November 2nd to 4th at Warren Willis Camp in Leesburg, don't miss the next one! We had a sweet group of dancers and leaders and danced the days away. With five amazing dance leaders each spinning their magic, I got to experience different styles and expressions of new and familiar dances. I found myself feeling connected and open at the same time. Zikr on Saturday night was amazing and I floated back to my bunk in bliss!

The camp facilities were great; also the food, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The campfire on Friday night brought back beautiful memories of folk songs and camaraderie from college days.

The Dances of Universal Peace surely added to the Peace in the world that weekend. I know they did in mine!"

"It was a wonderful weekend away, on a lake with a Path of Silence, where I could take what I had received in the dances and pour out my heart in prayer. The meditations Lynn led each morning were marvelous." -Susan Valek

"Each time we dance is a fresh opportunity to go deeper into the core common to all the faiths and practices that the dances honor, and also to reaffirm our shared brother and sisterhood with each other.

One could not help but to have one's heart softened and strengthened at the same time. And the retreat was also great fun, with so many dances and ways of dancing."
