September 15, 2013No Comments

Sedona AZ (September 14, 2013) – The Sedona Dances of Universal Peace will now be hosting their events at the Sedona Meditation Center on Jordan Road in uptown Sedona. “It is a lovely, open space with a floor that is so beautiful that shoes are neither necessary nor encouraged” said Wendy Heald, one of the group dance leaders. “We feel fortunate to have been offered this space for our dances and look forward to a wholesome and mutually beneficial relationship with the Sedona Meditation Center,” she continued.

A celebration of the Fall Equinox will be the first dance on Friday, September 20 beginning at 7:00 pm at the Sedona Meditation Center on 340 Jordan Road in uptown Sedona.

The Dances of Universal Peace (sometimes called Sufi dancing) are a joyous, multi-cultural way to touch the spiritual Essence within ourselves and others. The Dances bring together sacred phrases, chants, music and simple movements evocative of the many spiritual traditions of the Earth. Offered as “body prayer” in a spirit of sacredness, the dances promote peace and create an integrated experience of body, mind and spirit, helping dancers to realize the unity of all. No experience is necessary – the dances are simple Circle dances and all dances are taught each time.

The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative and uplifting group dances that represent and integrate the world’s spiritual traditions. Some of the traditions represented are: Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Native American, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Goddess, Celtic and Universalist. This practice may be called a Walking Prayer.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
