PLANETARY DANCE COMMUNITY
RITUAL FOR PEACE
Free event. All welcome !
SUNDAY, JUNE 29TH 1-3pm
Eco Village, Findhorn, Scotland
The Planetary Dance is a participatory dance rather than a theatrical performance.
At its heart is the Earth Run, a simple dance that everybody can do.
Participants are invited to run, walk, or simply stand in a series of concentric circles, creating a moving mandala.
As participants move to the steady heartbeat of the drums, they become one collective body.
THE POWER OF DANCE AS A PRAYER
In large group dances an exceptional phenomenon occurs time and time again. When enough people move together in a common pulse with a common purpose, an amazing force, an ecstatic rhythm eventually takes over. People stop moving as individuals and begin to move as if they were parts of a single body, not in, uniform motion, but in deeply interrelated ways. In these archetypal movements they seem to be tracing out the forms and patterns of a larger organism, communicating with and being moved by a group spirit.
This is an ancient phenomenon in dance. Cultures everywhere have channeled the power of such a group spirit to help bring rain, hunt, raise crops, and initiate the young. It is a power that can renew, inspire, teach, create and heal. In the Planetary Dance this power is used toward peace.
