Timothy
Dobson has taught the Dances of Universal Peace in weekly classes
along Colorado's Front Range for the past 14 years. A graduate of
Naropa University with a B.A. in Music/Psychology, he focused his
senior project on the Healing Properties of Sacred Dances. In 1992,
he received ordination as Interfaith Minister through completing
a two-year program with the New Seminary in New York City.
The ministry which Timothy offers includes officiating at weddings
and memorials, songwriting, choreography, conducting solstice and
equinox celebrations at the Starhouse/All Seasons Chalice, and serving
as managing editor for "Dancing Spirit" newsletter, as
well as leading 12 gatherings monthly in the Dances of Universal
Peace.
In
order to expand the presence of Interfaith community in the Boulder/Denver
area, in 1994, Timothy founded the Spiritkeepers Interfaith Fellowship.
The Fellowship serves to nurture and expand the sacred in each other
through participation in The Dances of Universal Peace, experiential
exploration of ancient and modern wisdom traditions, and building
a diverse spiritual community where all paths are honored.
Timothy's work has taken him to various international locations
including the Middle East, Mexico, India, Russia, and points in
Europe, as well as extensive travels in the U.S. His roles and services
include:
- Leading workshops
- Guest speaking at
Churches

- Presenting to University classes
- Facilitating Peace Dances at conferences
- Hosting seasonal celebrations
- Producing dance resource materials
- Directing week-long camps

Timothy met his wife Vera Kalmykova Dobson while teaching at an
international dance camp north of St. Petersburg, Russia. They live
in Boulder, Colorado.
