Come and dance like “no one is watching” to a LIVE Djembe Orchestra and recreate the magic that we all Love and remember for the past 22 years!
A highlight of Dancing Into the Light! is the Meditation of Light that has been building Bridges of Light and unifying people from diverse communities, faiths, religious beliefs and cultural traditions since 2003! This non-religious, spiritual meditation is designed to help people quiet their minds, relax their bodies, open their hearts and immerse themselves in the Love, Light, Peace and Joy that are the birthright of all human beings.
Come celebrate our community of women, men, and children and immerse yourself in the diversity and similarities of our African American, Latin American, Asian Indian American, Jewish American, and European American cultures that all celebrate Light transcending the Dark, Hope transcending Despair, Knowledge/Wisdom transcending Ignorance, and mostly, Love transcending Hate.

Mark your calendars and invite your family, friends and loved ones and come celebrate with us. We’re going to have a GOOD TIME!!!
