About the Weekend Retreat

Come join us for three days of dancing and music in the Bitterroot Valley Montana. The Hamilton Dance Camp is led by the Montana Dances of Universal Peace team and more! This diverse team will carry us through many spiritual traditions of the world in the ancient practice of community circle dance.

What We Do

No experience or partner needed. Each dance is taught in place: we are given a short song easy steps and the meaning (or attunement) of what we are doing. We do songs from a wide variety of sources: native Christianity Judaism or eastern Sufi practices. Often they are simple chants or inspiring poems.

The magic is the circle. Each person (you included) is what creates this magic. Humans evolved singing and celebrating in circle dance. As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home.

What’s it Like? Dancing with us is like joining a tribe. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s names but become immediate brothers and sisters. The music brings us together. The camp is held by elder wisdom with experienced leaders who have been doing this for over thirty years. Often something new like this can be uncomfortable but we know how to bring you in with a smooth transition from aloneness to togetherness. There is an essence in every human being that yearns for togetherness. We use our feet simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart.

Our Dance Tent Creates a Magical Environment

Food gatherings will be “bring your own”. Not really a potluck but an opportunity for us to join and eat together. We’ll have tables and a few snacks… bring your own chair.

Where is Hamilton Montana?

We are dancing in Hamilton Montana in the Bitterroot Valley. There is room for camping on the farm and there are motels nearby in town to stay.

From Zareen: My goal for this camp is to provide an inexpensive space where we can all come together sing dance and dive deeper into new possibilities. We are inclusive of the traditions of the world and each other. Most importantly we use this time to recreate ourselves into co-creating relatives of the world rather than individual consumers. The overall vision is to come alive in new ways and jumpstart a dynamic participation in life that transforms the world… in other words: Sam Lewis’s Peace Project.

Food and Lodging is not provided by your camp registration… but don’t worry. Everything you’ll need is nearby.
