2020
Hello friends, Like you, we are concerned for the health of our whole beautiful world body that we are each a part of. At this time we are following the guidance to not gather together in public. We also know that what happens when we do gather is healing and further cultivates good medicine for ourselves and for the planet. Let’s link hearts and minds, practicing healing, compassion, strength, courage, generosity, gratitude, and loving kindness. Let’s breathe the grief, sadness, suffering and fear that arises, into the heart and respond from the depths of our humanity. This is a good day to live!
With love and blessings, Halima & Abraham
Cambridge Dances of Universal Peace
Cambridge DUPeace will not hold in-person meetings until it feels safe for us to meet. We hope this will sooner than later. Meanwhile, sending love and healing to all! Toward the One, on the breath!
