Dances of Universal Peace, Sunday September 14 at noon. We’re delighted to welcome Munira Elizabeth Reed to lead a session of Dances of Universal Peace, sponsored by the NUUC “Beyond Words” Covenant Group. These “spiritual practices in motion” draw on sacred phrases and poetry from diverse traditions, offering a meditative blend of movement, chant, and breath. No experience needed—each dance is taught and repeated. Rev. Dr. Reed (ret.) served in mainstream ministry for 15 years and founded the Shalem Center for psychospiritual counseling. A longtime practitioner of the Dances, she’s engaged in peace work locally and abroad, recently traveling with the “Beyond Initiative” to Turkey, Vietnam, Mexico, and Brazil. This fall, she journeys to India and Malaysia, while also writing on first-century Middle Eastern goddesses.
