Building Community in rhythm with earth and sky, celebrating life through dance, voice and creative play.

The Dances of Universal Peace are the main focus of the Sacred Arts Camp. These simple circle dances, which can be wonderfully joyful and yet profoundly moving, are inspired by the wisdom and sacred phrases of a number of spiritual traditions. Essentially they are a form of meditation through sacred sounds and devotional movements.

Daily sessions will be led by certified dance leaders including: Tansen, Amida, Shafia, Maris, Sandra, Rabia, Daren, Manda and Cordelia.

Sing your heart out.

Experience the joy of singing together, explore your voice, discover harmony and learn beautiful songs from many sources including: sacred, African, gospel, contemporary and traditional. Daily sessions will be led by: Sarah, Bruce & Rebecca, Su, Ralph and Habiba.

Other activities include Circle Dance, Drumming workshops, Yoga, Arts & Crafts, Hoopdance and Storytelling.

The Creativity Area theme this year is Inspiration.

For children of all ages, camp is a wonderful opportunity for natural play and making new friends.
Teenagers form a vibrant community within the camp, creating music, sharing and forming long lasting friendships. They will be supported in organising workshops, games and sports.
Look out for spontaneous creative events!

Creativity sessions include: natural art, jewellery, whittling, clay sculpture, nature walks, wide games, dance and song as well as dedicated crafts for adults and teens.

Story time for children and adults with exciting and enthusiastic storytellers every evening.

There are opportunities for people to meet in groups to share and explore current themes and celebrate ways of welcoming young adults into our community.
