Dear Friends,
On behalf of Toronto’s Dances Universal Peace and Inayatiyya Order Canada, I would like to invite you to New Year’s Eve Universal Worship Celebration.
As we gather, we will eat, pray and dance together to express gratitude for this year and welcome the new one engaging in a unique celebration of love, unity, and healing. Through the format of a worship, we will honour the many traditions that shape our world. Our gathering will include:
Lighting Candles for Each Tradition: A candle will be lit for each spiritual tradition present, symbolizing the light of wisdom, love, and peace that we share.
Sacred Readings: Representatives from different traditions will read from the holy scriptures, offering insights and reflections that guide us toward deeper understanding and connection.
Dancing and Singing in Rhythm: We will deepen the experience of each tradition by singing and moving to the rhythm of the mantra. This practice allows us to feel the pulse of spiritual wisdom in our bodies, not just in our minds.
In this sacred space, we open our hearts. We cultivate the ability to forgive, to reconcile, and to emanate love and kindness to all, embracing even the darkest corners of the Earth.
Together, we embody a collective vision of a world united by compassion. It is a powerful way to enter the new year.
The Universal Worship a multi-faith service that weaves together readings, prayers, and silence as we open our hearts to receive inner guidance. Honouring and sharing our inspiration and wisdom, this beautiful ceremony unites us together in a powerful message of Love, Harmony, and Beauty.
The Dances of Universal Peace are meditative and joyous movement or body prayers and chants inspired by many spiritual traditions of the world. We Dance to increase the capacity of our heart for love.
