Photos from "Roaming Catholic" at Recovery from Religion conference

Last week, an excerpt from "Tales of a Roaming Catholic" was shared at MICAH's* Recovering from Religion conference.  Here's a few photos from the event.

We are so grateful for our financial supporters who made it possible for the crew to convene in Minneapolis' Center for the Open Book and be part of this conference.  We hope to share the whole dance service in a retreat form sometime soon.  If you have connections to folks who would find it beneficial or know of a beautiful retreat location, please contact PointsOfLightMusic@gmail.com and let us know.

A Vote of Confidence for "Roaming Catholic"

Mary Martin’s development of the Dances of Universal Peace as experienced through a Catholic Mass hit home for me. Instead of throwing out the baby with the wash water, I am able to honor my root tradition with fresh eyes: the eyes of a dancer of Universal Peace. The program is sincere and profound and very authentic. I can see its benefit to all those “former” Catholics as well as practicing ones. Blessings on the project.

The Next Big Project!

I'm excited to be working on developing a participatory dance theater piece which incorporates child-like poetry with Dances of Universal Peace in the structure of the Latin Mass. It's a story of disheartened faith and how one person healed to a place of great joy and radiance. I think it is ubiquitous and I hope the experience with help others with their own liberation. More details about my partners in a future post! 

This work isn't possible without supporters who believe in the project. I'm working to setup my GiveMN page to take advantage of Give to the Max Day on Thu, Nov 12, 2015. Can you donate $10 that day? Think about it. Pray about it. Then watch for more details about how to contribute and, of course, more about the project itself and what the funds would be used for.
