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

Sun-Moon Dance is inspired by the ancient Sun Dance and a vision received in
that dance by Joseph Rael, Beautiful Painted Arrow. The Sun-Moon Dance
embraces and balances both male and female energies. In the center of the
circular arbor in which the dance is held stands the Tree of Life. The dancers
pray, fast, rest and dance from Friday evening to Monday morning supported
by the drummers, singers and a support crew. It is a dance for personal and
