Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a practitioner of "ordinary" spirituality, i.e. It's all around and in us everyday and everywhere. I've been involved in the dances since'91, I took hand in the SOI from Atum O'Kane in '94(?). I feel contact with Spirit readily in the wilds of the canyons and mountains (I've worked as a therapeutic wilderness guide).
My spiritual practices come from Hazrat Inayat Khan and Vajrayana Buddhism primarily but not exclusively.
I've been playing guitar and singing since I was in high school('63). Sitting in my living room singing and playing I often feel Spirit moving in me. I've been leading some dances in Durango with Susan, Kate, and Cheryl since fall of '07. In March '08 I finally applied to work toward certification as a dance leader. I am honored that many dance leaders who have supported me undertaking this (Habib, Majida, Susan, Samudra, Bernie, Bernie, Wadooda, and more) .
- Your Canyonlands Story
- I've been haunting Canyonlands since the early 80's. When I heard of a dance camp there I was excited to participate. I think I first came in '02. It is a beautiful combination of setting, sharing, and celebration. I love doing sitting practice on the slickrock then going into the cave to sing and dance. It's a great combination of opening to the far and wild, then containment and building of energy.
Words fail me, I can't capture the joy, pleasure, and attunement of the Canyonlands dance experience in words. If you've been there you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing your love and spirit in the cave.

Yes ~ lets record more Bruce Cockburn songs next time, I thought you did a fine job with that "All the Diamonds" song _ next time I will allow for more preparation time...on the other hand, I appreciate that you just sang it ~ made my day ! and besides remember the Dave Stringer statement about devotional music / Kirtan...he said that "Perfectionism is the death of the tradition" kind o a strong statement, but I agree with it... it helps us just make music more free from our ego trips and self-criticism. at least that's how it works for me. :-~)
All the best to you ! ~~dale
hope to record more of you playing at the next dance camp !
