33rd Anniversary 

Dances of Universal Peace, Deeper Dance

Since the inaugural year when the doors were first opened at the Starhouse in 1990, the Dances of Universal Peace have been a part of celebrating solstices, equinoxes, and full moons, as well as wedding vows, rededications and life celebrations. The once a month offering of "Deeper Dances" on second Saturdays has been a constant rhythm for the regional gathering of peace dancers from the Colorado Front Range and beyond.
On Saturday, October 14th, 6:30-10:00 p.m. we will mark the 33rd anniversary of these dances that were inspired by Mursid Samuel Lewis in the S.F. Bay area over 50 years ago. Through sacred chant and song we will move in concentric circles to invoke remembrance. This is a remembering that includes our spiritual ancestors, the gifts of insight from the masters, saints and prophets, and our connection to Soul, extended family of choice, and our stewardship of Mother Earth. As always, all songs and movements are taught and designed to be accessible to veteran dancers and newcomers alike.
If you have danced in this beautiful jewel of a mountain temple, you will remember the Starhouse as a perfect vessel to hold sacred intention. It is the unique home to our Kindling Ceremony inspired by the Universal Worship Service. For 33 years the Starhouse walls have echoed the heartfelt songs of dancers moving Toward the One. This sustained relationship between sacred place and sacred practice is rare in our culture of trends and novel fascinations. So, if you feel drawn to join us in celebration and embodied spiritual practice, please order your tickets online at the enclosed link.

Rev. Timothy Dobson has served as a minister in the minister's circle at the All Seasons Chalice/ the Starhouse for almost 30 years. His work in sacred dance is known nationally and internationally. He is the founder, and served as head minister to SpiritKeepers Interfaith Fellowship in Boulder for 20 years.
From a wide repertoire, he conducts programs that uplift the Spirit and provide connection to the deepest parts of ourselves and seeing the divine within each other. He lives on the Starhouse property with his wife Vera and a large number of Siberian cats.
