  DANCES of UNIVERSAL PEACE 
The Dances of Universal Peace (sometimes called Sufi dancing) are a joyous, multi-cultural way to touch the spiritual Essence within ourselves and others. The Dances bring together sacred phrases, chants, music and simple movements evocative of the many spiritual traditions of the Earth. Offered as "body prayer" in a spirit of sacredness, the dances promote peace and create an integrated experience of body, mind and spirit, helping dancers to realize the unity of all. No experience is necessary - the dances are simple Circle dances and all dances are taught as we do them. Please join us! Donations accepted.

ONE TIME EVENTS

 

Benefit Concert for Laurie Riley
 


Internationally acclaimed harp virtuoso and Sedona resident, Laurie  Riley, has recently been diagnosed with a debilitating chronic disease.  It  has left her virtually bedridden and unable to take care of basic living  expenses and medical bills.  Laurie's community of friends and  supporters have initiated several fundraising and support campaigns. 

A Benefit Concert for Laurie will be held in the Great Room of the Sedona Creative Life Center on Friday, May 16th, 2008, at 7 pm.  See bios of  participating musicians here. Suggested Donation is $15 per ticket and a silent auction with refreshments will follow the concert.  All proceeds  from this evening’s activities will go directly to aid Laurie Riley.  All  expenses, services, and products have been donated or met by various  organizations and individuals.  For further information contact  www.sedonacreativelife.com or call 300-2117 or 274-1444.

Among her many credits, Laurie Riley has appeared in concert as harpist to The Chieftains (2003), in a tribute to the late Derek Bell.  She was also  the first American harpist to be invited to judge and perform for the  prestigious International O'Carolan Festival in County Roscommon,  Ireland, in 1997, and has toured throughout the US and in Canada since  1985. 

She plays traditional, ethnic, and contemporary selections from around  the world, as well as compositions of her own, on three types of harps:  the Celtic harp, the rare double-strung harp, and the historical  wire-strung harp.  Each harp has a unique sound and personality,  offering a wide range of musical styles. 

Laurie has recorded twelve albums of harp music, authored numerous  books, and made five instructional videos.  Her music has been featured  on American Airlines and on the Narada Collections, and she has  appeared on NPR's All Things Considered.  She also judges harp  competitions and teaches in the US and abroad. In Laurie's words: "As a  musician, I am gratefully aware that I hold in my hands the experience  of music as a metaphor for life, which is offered as a gift to all who  gather to listen."

I no longer have time to update this page several times per month, and  re-format the many announcements of wonderful events I receive, so  now I am only listing events that I am personally involved in here. Instead, I  am now sending out an e-mail newsletter called Arizona Conscious Connections. It lists events which are of a  spiritual, healing, artistic, musical, educational, or just plain fun nature, which are happening within a two hour drive of Sedona. If you would like to receive the newsletter, or submit events for the newsletter, please join!
