Dances at Birdsong Peace Chamber

Birdsong Peace chamber hosts five dances each year. The dances are ceremonial in nature, and by dancing, as Joseph teaches, we are expanding Awareness and Personal Greatness on the Micro level and Vast Achievement on the Macro level. When we dance in ceremony, we are expanding whatever principle that we are dancing at that time. The dances endow us with the ability to break self-imposed limitations and to attune to Listening, Seeing, and Awareness.  

"These dances are not just ordinary social dances. These dances are like mantras, vibrations that when they are articulated in dance, they then give back to the dancer or give back to that moment or give back to that time on the planet a return gift of having danced." -Beautiful Painted Arrow

The Long Dance: Date to be Annoinced   A dance during the night time when one can bring forth associations that lie in the subconscious mind and by dancing them, bring them to the light and own them. “In the long dance of life, every step forward awakens three opportunities for the human. One, placement n eternity; two, purification of past forms; three, new opportunities for adventure, for in the instance of eternal time, the new always refreshes and cleanses.- Beautiful Painted Arrow
