Our 2021 presenter, Justine Willis Toms, has spent more than thirty-five years studying and practicing how to manifest what has purpose and meaning and how to sustain these qualities in these troubled times. The power of sitting in circle with "friends of the heart" is a core practice to live our "true work." Participants in Justine's workshops have experienced the magic of sitting in circle and being "seen" and "held" in a loving and affirming way. It is in the field of this safe container we can speak and listen from our deepest authenticity.

Join us either in-person (seating is limited and masks are required) or a virtual option of Justine’s presentation and workshop. https://www.ridgwayspiritfest.com/2021-tickets

The in-person activities will include a film screening by local filmmaker Taylor Rees, a workshop on “Communication and Community in Polarized Times” by Christi Strickland, as well as yoga and wisdom circle offerings by community members.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Ridgway Spirit Fest!

The Spring Equinox is only 2 weeks away:
http://www.schooloftheseasons.com/spring.html

The spring equinox is one of the four great solar festivals of the year. Day and night are equal, poised and balanced, but about to tip over on the side of light. The spring equinox is sacred to dawn, youth, the morning star and the east. The Saxon goddess, Eostre (from whose name we get the directi...

Dances of Universal Peace will happen at the 4 H Center Saturday. 5/16 3:30-5pm after Justine Tom's Workshop and Book signing is done.
Before the inception of "Music Therapy", "Art Therapy", or "Dance Therapy", tribal and village cultures renewed their sense of connection and place in the Cosmos through ritual celebrations. Singing, dancing and chanting to music were natural ways to invoke the Great Mysteries of Life, and to mark the seasonal rhythms of the Earth.
The Dances of Universal Peace revive this human tradition with a new awareness of the Earth as our global village, and with peace as the acknowledged root desire of all her peoples. Through simple movements and songs we tap the essence of the world's wisdom traditions and bring them into a circle of wholeness where we can start to experience the reality of unity through diversity.
The Dances were founded in the late 1960's in San Francisco by Samuel L. Lewis, with the purpose of promoting peace worldwide. They consist of uncomplicated movements performed in a circle, combined with short lyrics, ranging from meditative to celebratory in quality. Together with live music, they create an uplifting atmosphere and a sense of unity and community among the participants.
The simple acts of joining hands, lifting our voices in thanksgiving, looking deeply into the eyes of other dancers and moving our bodies in the rhythms of the music, create an ease of belonging to a greater community.
The dances evoke feelings of love, joy, compassion, ecstasy, peace, stillness, and unity. Now shared by millions of people worldwide, the Dances of Universal Peace express a feeling deeper than language, a connection that transcends nationality, and even personality.

Ulli Sir Jesse has taught DUP since the early 80ies in Germany. She is a local Piano teacher and the director of the Ridgway Threshold Singers of the shining mountains.

Justine tells us to “find that gift, find that spark of joy…..and then build from that, make your gift. Give your gift to the world and let spirit do the rest of the work.”
