Remember the Villa?

That magical time of dancing together several months ago...


Greetings, dancing beloved,

You may have heard that the Villa Maria will be closing its doors at the end of June.  Shall we gather at the Villa one more time to immerse ourselves in the love, harmony, and beauty of that place? 

A retreat is being scheduled for Friday, June 17-Sunday, June 19, 2016 for us to return, remember, give thanks, bless this holy place and ourselves before journeying forward into the next chapter of our evolutionary journeys.  Will you join in the dance again? 

We hope so and invite others to join you!

Please register and reserve lodging and meals by May 31, if you can.  The Villa staff needs a minimum of 10 persons reserved for meals to open the kitchen.  Lodging reservations help defray the count of the Ursuline Hall rental as well.  Commuters registering for dance sessions helps leaders plan sessions too, though walk-in dancers will be welcomed whole-heartedly.  :)
  • Dance Registration is different this year.  Instead of being part of your lodging and meal reservation, it is separate.  Please fill out this short form to say you are coming and when:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/32HZB89

    Rates are the same as last year and can be paid in cash or check at the door.  Paying by credit is also possible.  Dance scholarships are also available with generous support from The Oneness Project.  Please contact CPeaceDance@gmail.com for more details.  

    - For the weekend with an overnight stay: $25 
    - For commuters on Friday or Sunday: $10
    - For Saturday only: $20

    The registration form also asks if you would like to lead dances, be a support musician, lead zikr, universal worship, a ceremony of gratitude, or something else for the gathered group.
