Eat, Dance & Pray Together
A New Year's Eve Celebration
Universal Worship – Candles are lit symbolically representing many of the world’s religious traditions. We celebrate each religion through dances and chants that represent and honour each tradition.
Dances of Universal Peace – A joyous, multi-cultural way to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and others. Sacred phrases, chants, music, and movements from many traditions of the world are used to promote peace and integration. There are no performers or audience, the dances are simple and easy, and no experience is required.
