On New Year's Eve Dances of Universal Peace groups around the globe link together in shared celebrations towards global peace. Again this year Munira Elizabeth Reed and others from our local group and beyond will offer another special peace focus earlier in the evening:
Aramaic Lord's Prayer Cycle Chants and body prayers to the lines of the Aramaic Prayer. A special event towards peace within and without, 5:00-6:15 p.m. Gathering time and orientation to those new to this prayer or zikr cycle will be at 4:45 p.m. Come for a peace-filled New Year's Eve.Join in either one or both of these programs. No prior experience required. (Still time to make it to other parties for later evening celebrations!)
