Drumming, Meditation and Channeling

 DRUMMING, MEDITATION, AND CHANNELING
Tuesday
7:30-9:30 pm
We will drum for a while, then drift into a silent meditation. The Guides, with which Perry works, will begin to speak.
All are invited to attend. Bring your favorite drum [we will have a few extras here, if you do not have one to play], an open mind, and a supportive heart. In the spirit of "my job is to show up", let's see what happens. You will know if you need to be here.
An opportunity will be given for other Guides to speak as well. Out of respect for time, let's come early to socialize, so we can start on time.

THE WOMEN’S WEB OF LIFE DANCE
Center For Peace, Seymour, TN
May 22-24, 2015
“It is through stillness and movement that we begin to see the interconnectednesses among all things”
Dance Chiefs – Jennilea Beem & Heather Robinson
- Can you see where you want to be-yet can’t see the steps you need to take to get there?
- Do you begin things only to find yourself unable to finish them?
- Do you feel stuck and unmotivated, but finally ready to become the woman you’ve dreamed of being?
- Or perhaps you’re incredibly happy and want to celebrate, dancing that gratitude into your life and into the world
Many Dancers have said that in the Women’s Web of Life Dance they have accomplished this and much more. The Dance can assist you in both healing your past and taking steps toward your dreams, bringing you to your amazing future.
The Women’s Web of Life Dance is a Dance given in a vision to two elders. It is  not a Native American ceremony. It is a ceremony about looking down the threads of life, both forward and backward, and seeing all the possible consequences of our choices. It is about seeing, understanding, and ultimately taking responsibility for what we set in motion. It is about gaining understanding of how everything we do affects the strands next to us, across from us and, indeed, the whole web of life.
Although the Dancers and crew are women, men are invited and encouraged to support by helping to prepare the Dance area on Friday, serving in the kitchen during the Dance, participating in the feast on Sunday, and in other ways.
The contribution for this Dance is $295. This covers the expenses necessary to hold the Dance.
There is never a charge for ceremony. Payment options are available when arrangements are made in advance. There is also a work exchange program in place at the Center.
If this Dance calls to you, please contact the Dance Chiefs at Web.dance@centerforpeace.us.

Arbor Work Day
May 30th 10am
A few years ago a group of amazing friends from the Watersong Peace Chamber community in North Carolina came to the Center For Peace and rebuilt the dance arbor with us. Their work gave us the beautiful arbor in which we dance.
As the years have gone by, the wind and storms have damaged the roof and carpenter bees have damaged the fascia boards around the arbor. It is time for some significant repair work to be done on the arbor.
We will gather on May 30th to begin the necessary work. It is important that we have a good turn out for the work so we can get it all done quickly. Materials will be on hand and we will have the main tools needed. Bring hand tools if you have them; hammers, framing squares, levels, hand saws etc. If you do not have tools we will provide as many as possible.
This is an opportunity for you to exchange your work for dance registrations or for upcoming workshops. Go here for more information about Work Exchange.
Contact Steve Citty by email or call him at 865-300-4424 if you want to be a part of this project.

We are asking for sponsorship through monthly donations.
These donations do not need to be large but if those who love the Center for Peace could help by committing a few dollars on a monthly basis it could be the difference between always hoping that someday we will be able to build or provide those needed areas (i.e. showers, sleeping areas, restrooms) and actually making it happen.
If you have participated in any of the programs, offerings, and events that occur on an ongoing basis at the Center for Peace you have already felt the personal blessings from these activities. Our mission is to be a Spiritual Center for our community which extends to anyone open to this learning path.

It doesn’t take much — just a community.

Facebook Group
We have started a new "Group" on Facebook. It seems this is a better way to stay in touch interactively than the page format. We will keep up the page, but invite you to join our new group as well.
Simply "click" on the Facebook button above.

The Peace Sound Chamber is available for chanting, vision quests and ceremonies of many different types.
You are encouraged to come to the chamber and chant, drum, meditate or simply sit (the chamber Spirits love it); please check first that there is not something already scheduled.
Please call at least two weeks in advance to reserve our facilities as usage requires council approval.
