SpiritKeepers Interfaith Fellowship has been meeting since 1994. We meet Sunday mornings (except for the first Sunday of each month) from 10:00 am - 12:00 am. On the first Sunday, we encourage you to find other forms of spiritual nourishment and bring it back to share with the fellowship.       

The morning is comprised of Peace Dances, walking practice, presentation and live music.

SpiritKids Children's Programs meet the 3^rd and 5^th Sundays of the month.

Our location: The West Boulder Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Avenue (NE corner of 9th & Arapahoe), Boulder, CO

All are welcome. The fellowship is supported by donation.

A Typical Sunday Morning:

• Begins with a meditative walking/breathing practice, set to live music.
• We join in a circle and dance two Dances of Universal Peace prior to our morning's presentation.
• Our attention is then turned to the 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 sharing the energy that has collectively built throughout the morning.
• Optional continued fellowship over lunch at a local restaurant.

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:

1. 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.
2. Providing a safe space for individuals to be vulnerable and contemplative, in the process of increasing consciousness, personal growth and transformation.
3. Honoring the group wisdom and creating a container for the transformation of the individual and the group.
4. Cultivating a supportive and spiritual community, both formally through various presentations, and informally through socializing.
5. 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.

What are Dances of Universal Peace?
We dance in a circle, sometimes with partners, sometimes without. The movements are simple, folk-dance movements that help move the energy into a more heart-centered and spiritually grounded place. We sing while dancing, using simple phrases from various spiritual traditions. Instructions are given for each dance, as well as a brief explanation or contextual commentary which helps to deepen the experience.

Is this free-form dancing?
No. Each dance has specific movements which will be taught before doing the dance. Some dances do have phases of free-form movement.

Do I need to come with a partner?
No. Once we are in a circle, dancers partner up with others in the circle. You will participate in dances with a number of different people throughout the evening as well as some dances that do not require a partner.

Do I need to know the chants or dances?
No, you don't. Both the words and the movements for each dance are taught each time the dance is led.
