The Root of the Root

I'm in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend attending "The Root of the Root" lead by Tasnim Fernandez and Saadi Neil Douglas-Klotz.  These two folks birthed the Dances of Universal Peace organization into what it is today and have spread the Dances like Johnny Appleseed planted trees over the last 30 years.  I'm so grateful for their wisdom, leadership and dedication to the dances and look forward to what they have to share this weekend.

 

I hope to share a bit on twitter, but apologize in advance if I don't.  It is easy to get deeply immersed.  I suppose that is going to the root of the root. 

 

Blessings on your day and weekend. 

Support Roaming Catholic

As with any good work, doing it in community with others takes it farther. So I invite you to support my current project, Roaming Catholic, in whatever way suits you best at this time.

The first level of support is your interest. 

Knowing that you're interested in this project is important to me because it affirms that it is worthwhile and I'm not wondering off into La-la-land for no good reason. Also, if we were to seek grants and other financial sources, those funders like to see how many folks are on our email list because it gives them a sense of how well we connect with others. So, please sign up for the email list (see the form on the right side of this page) and select "Dances of Universal Peace." Or feel free to keep checking here for updates. We want to feel your love and light through subscriptions and website pings!

It has a name!

After much hemming and hawing (though more hemming and hawing is likely to be had ...) the new project has a name-title-moniker attached to it, so I don't have to call it "the thing I'm working on."

Please meet "Tales of a Roaming Catholic: a 12-Step Healing Dance Memoir."

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. 

Thanks for following and supporting the work of Points Of Light Music!
