Here comes the New Year with infinite opportunities for New Year’s resolutions!
I, personally, resolve to give up smoking and wearing make-up, lose a few pounds (maybe 48), stop eating meat, start aerobics classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and start attending church services twice weekly. How about you?Â
Â
Â
Tuesday, January 2nd – Dance of Universal Peace with a Full Moon theme! – River Rock Commons (520 N Sherwood, Fort Collins) – 7:15 PM – $7 suggested donation
Â
No full moon ritual this month. If you’d like suggestions about rituals you can do on your own, I’ll be happy to send you some ideas. Just let me know. The moon is officially full in the wee morning hours of Wednesday, the 3rd.
Â
Sunday, January 7th – Dance of Universal Peace – Studio Soma (2540 W 29th, Denver – near Speer and Zuni) – 7 PM – $8-12 suggested donation – we did our first Dance of Universal Peace at this studio last month and it was awesome! A delightful community, mostly (but not entirely) women, deep, prayerful atmosphere in a beautiful space.

Â
(maybe) Tuesday, January 23rd – Women’s Dance of Universal Peace – Saint Barnabas Church (southeast corner of 13th and Vine, Denver) – 7 PM – $6 suggested donation – please stay tuned about this dance circle.

I just want y’all to know, I’m writing (and about to be sending) this e-mail from the Nevada desert. I know all you Colorado folks are buried in snow (again) and I wanted to send my condolences, or congratulations, if you prefer. I hope this holiday season has been bringing you the light, peace and joy you desire, may it be with family, friends or in solitude. It has, once again, been an amazing year of ritual, music, dance and prayer and I am celebrating the blessing of this community and the opportunity you give me to serve and accompany you on this journey of Spirit!
Â
As always, please address further inquiries, complaints or flowers to me:

May the Lord and Lady whisk you jubilantly into 2007!
