In 1994, a need for deeper connection with participants in the
Dances of Universal Peace community led to the formation of a Sunday
morning gathering called Spiritkeepers Interfaith Fellowship. It
became a place for experiencing the group wisdom through a variety
of engaging presentations by people in the dance community and the
larger community of Boulder/Denver.
The morning is comprised of Peace Dances, Walking Practice, Presentation,
Prayer, Meditation and Music. Spiritkeepers meets from 10:00 a.m.
to noon on all but the first Sundays of the month.
The location is:
The West Boulder Senior Center
909 Arapahoe Avenue (NE corner of 9th & Arapahoe)
Boulder, CO
All are welcome. The fellowship is supported by donation.

Mission Statement
SpiritKeepers Interfaith 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.
Our mission is served through:
- Respecting diversity and striving for expanding unity among
the various religions, races, cultures, sexes, and age groups
that exist today, opening our community to all who wish to participate.
- Providing a safe space for individuals to be vulnerable and
self?examining, in the process of increasing consciousness, personal
growth and transformation.
- Honoring the group wisdom and creating a container for the
transformation of the individual and the group.
- Cultivating a supportive and spiritual community, both formally
through various presentations, and informally through socializing.
- Educating ourselves to a deeper awareness of larger community
and global issues such as supporting civil and human rights, protecting
the environment and all its inhabitants, and affecting change
within ourselves and others.

A typical Sunday morning:
- Begins with a meditative walking/breathing practice, set to
music.
- In response to the question, "Why do you choose to be
here?", individuals have the opportunity to express their
personal intention.
- We look to the altar where individuals who have placed something
there can share the item's significance or ask for blessings.
- We circle, we dance and sing a selection that deepens and reflects
upon the presentation theme of the day from a repetoire of over
500 dances, representing various spiritual traditions.
- Our attention is then turned to this week's presenter, drawn
from the fellowship or broader community, who through lecture
and/or participation, guide us to a greater awareness of spirit
in its many forms.
- The closing dance culminates in our drawing the circle closer,
chanting sacred sound, and bathing in the loving energy that has
collectively built throughout the morning.
- Optional continued fellowship over lunch at a local restaurant.
