Dances of Universal Peace with Marguerite Frongillo, Saturday June 20, 4:00-6:00 PM

Date: 06/20/2026 Time: 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

All UU’s and friends are welcome to participate: 4-6:00 pm in the Social Hall. Sponsored by the Islamic Sufi Ruhaniat International order, the DUP are active meditative practices honoring the positive spiritual energy in the world’s many different faith traditions. For each dance, our mentored leader teaches us a sacred phrase, its meaning and melody, and the motions of the dance. Then we are led to chant and move through several iterations of the dance, allowing us to deepen our spiritual connection to the universe. In our usual session we typically do several dances and share some blessings, prayers, and poetry. Expect respectful hand-holding, eye contact, and occasional hugs as part of the dances. After dancing, there will be a time to socialize with light refreshments.
