“It is in the sacred essence of sound and silence that true happiness is found”

Welcome to this great celebration of peace and unity. The Sacred Music and Dance Festival in McGregor, 14-16 October 2022, is born out of a deep love for music, spirituality, humanity, and a reverence for all of life. In those rare moments of recognising that it is that great Love which is present behind all that exists, one experiences a kind of ecstasy. So it is with the experience of sacred music and dance in the unity of community, the unity of being. In such moments it is the soul which is dancing.

A FEAST FOR THE BODY, HEART and SOUL

This festival is a celebration of all spiritual paths. The time we find ourselves in at present reveals that there is a greater need than ever before to find common ground, to unite and bring peace to the world. By coming together we can learn about, open to, and sing and dance the unity of creation, while respecting and honouring each unique spiritual path toward the One. This is a journey of creativity and joy through sharing heart songs, simple chants, and peace dances accompanied by live music. Various facilitators, local as well as international, will lead us in dances and songs from various traditions. One is welcome to participate as much or as little as one wishes. There will also be performances which encompass everything from African to Eastern and in between. We have endeavoured to involve the local community and will have choirs from McGregor, Ashton and Robertson. For a more detailed list of events please see below.

Coming together in community for the weekend in celebration of life doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities or spaces for quiet contemplation. On the contrary, our venues have unique spaces for being alone in meditation. And the “Garden of the Beloved” at Temenos is renowned for its beauty, its shrines, and hidden treasures.
