Ayurveda:“ The Science of Life  

Ayurveda is known as the “sister science of Yoga” and literally means “the science of life.”  This 5,000-year-old system is a holistic medical science that teaches us to live in harmony with the rhythms and elements of nature and our body’s own unique constitution.  The individual is empowered by Ayurveda to take an active role in his/her health and healing.  Simple changes in diet, lifestyle, exercise, work, play and thought habits can bring about significant changes in our lives. Become acquainted with this amazing ancient medical science by experiencing it yourself in a relaxed, nurturing environment.  Learn first-hand how Ayurveda  can help you take charge of your own health and well-being.

Rejuvenate your spirit and open your heart with sacred circle dancing and joyous group singing honoring the world's mystical traditions.

Through Yoga we seek to create harmony, balance, peace and strength within ourselves.

Through the Dances of Universal Peace we seek to create the same in unity with others.

The Dances are a joyous way of touching the spiritual essence within ourselves and others.  There are no performers or audience--new arrivals and old hands join together to form the sacred circle.  All easy dances are taught and accompanied by live music.  No experience and no partner necessary--only a desire to experience with an open heart.  We dance in bare feet. 

Dances lead by:  Farishta Janice Bibeau

"My peace theme:  eat, dance, and pray together."
-Murshid Samuel Lewis 1896-1971
(Father of the Dances)
