Reminder: Sept 18 EARTHDANCE global moment for world peace

Thu Sep 16 16:20:00 PDT 2010

Thanks Patricia for sharing this laudable initiative, which I didn't know it
yet. And I cannot fail to note that exactly the same day in Chile will be
celebrating our bicentennial of our independence. At the appointed time I
will be with my extended family to which I'll propose to dance together a
"cueca." Perhaps from this narrow and long country at the extreme south of
the world, we can increasingly make a significant contribution.

political history in English).

A big hug for you and all,

Asunto: [OSLIST] Reminder: Sept 18 EARTHDANCE global moment for world peace

You may already know that this coming Saturday, September 18th, as part of
Peace Week, folks around the world are invited to take a moment at exactly
the same time - 7 pm Eastern/US - to share a prayer (below) for world peace.
Or send out an intention for peace - whatever you wish. And then DANCE - for
solidarity and the possibility of world community.

You can do this alone, with friends - or at community gatherings around the
globe. 60 countries participated last year - you can find this year's
gatherings at <earthdance.org>

For a taste, here's what's happening in Ithaca, NY:

Earthdance 2010 to Benefit Namgyal Monastary 

On Saturday, September 18th, people all over the world, will gather at
exactly the same moment - 7 pm in Ithaca, midnight in London, sunrise over
the Himalayas - to envision world peace with a brief interfaith prayer (see
below). And then DANCE, for solidarity, and for the possibility of world
community.

Ithacans of all ages are invited to be part of the global moment in whatever
way they wish, alone, with friends and family - or at a family-friendly,
picnic-style community gathering, EARTHDANCE ITHACA, taking place from 5-11
pm on Saturday, September 18th at Sheela Kingsbury's Tea Garden in Danby
(133 Jersey Hill Road, just off West King Road).

Co-sponsored by Congo Square, the Tea Garden, Vitamin L and the Level Green
Institute, the evening will feature chanting with the Monks of Namgyal and
the Sufi Dances of Universal Peace, who will lead the 7 pm prayer. 

Also gracing the gathering will be choral contributions from Vitamin L; the
inaugural performance of Rock Garden, by the yoga-based Pranadhanas (see
below), to bless Kingsbury's new Peace Garden; on-going drumming around the
fire with the One Heart Community Drummers - and the dancing magic of
Aryurveda and Thousands of One. 

The evening will end with a Making Music Together Jam, so everyone is
invited to bring instruments, drums and voices.

Earthdance Ithaca 2010 is free and open to the public, but a donation of $10
per person, $15 per family is requested.  All proceeds beyond expenses will
go to the Namgyal Monastary building fund, featured recently in Tompkins
Weekly.

Community activist, peace and justice groups are invited to bring hand-out
materials for an information table. Namgyal will also have a display table
with items for sale.

Questions, ideas, volunteer <earthdanceithaca at gmail.com>. Further
information about the Global Earthdance Festival <earthdance.org>

Regret for Date Conflict:  We also very much regret the confluence of dates
with Yom Kippur. The date was set by the national organization. We have
protested; if you wish to add your voice, so they are more careful next
year, contact <earthdance.org>

"We are one global family
All colors, All races
One world united.
We dance for peace and the healing of our planet Earth
Peace for all nations.
Peace for our communities.
And peace within ourselves.

As we join all dance floors across the world,
let us connect heart to heart.
Through our diversity we recognize Unity.
Through our compassion we recognize Peace.
Our love is the power to transform our world
Let us send it out
NOW...
