Ritual to Awaken the Heart and Movement to Transcend Barriers

Session Description:

Music and intercessions often are central to a faith-based service. Elements of this worship service draw from some of the hundreds of Dances of Universal Peace. The service includes seated practices as well as opportunities for movement that bring participants together in a mandala to direct our shared vibration beyond the confines of the room. We introduce prayerful chants from various traditions to invite participants to gather, connect, and unify. Brief readings of passages from historic beings who blessed us with this form of spiritual centering are shared to inspire us to grow more conscious of the interdependent nature of all life. Presenters are lay ministers who have worked closely to prepare and facilitate formal worship offerings following a Unitarian Universalist format, and who co-led an ongoing circle of Dances of Universal Peace. In both activities, they shared a focus on broad religious pluralism and a mission of fostering interfaith understanding.
