We gather to camp, eat, dance, pray for the world, laugh and share our hearts in community together, starting Wednesday evening and breaking camp Monday morning. Come for all or part of the time!
We dance in the mornings and evenings; afternoons are free for other activities. Evening meals are potlucks. The site is the Old River Road Trading Post (see map, next page); we dance in a building with hardwood floors, there are trees for shade, plenty of room for campers and RVs, and a communal kitchen area. Dances will be led by Bernie Heideman and Sky Roshay, with guest leaders and musicians. More detailed information will be sent on receipt of your registration (see next page), or on request: contact Sky Roshay, skyness54@gmail.com or 928-536-3307. THIS IS A FRAGRANCE FREE CAMP; NO SCENTED OR PERFUMED PRODUCTS PLEASE. |
Not your average Dance camp: The Canyonlands Camp allows you to participate in community, rather than being the recipient of teachings, meals, lodging, etc., and to experience fairly equal numbers of men and women in the circle. Late night campfires are a place to share music and community, and other offerings will allow for connection, creativity and deepening. Because we are in a new venue, it will be exciting to see what
unfolds during our time together!
unfolds during our time together!

"There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all,
beyond the heavens, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens.
This is the radiant light that shines in the heart of human beings."
-Chandogya Upanishad
In our experience of life these days many of us may feel that the brain has become too dominant in our way of life. We are so used to doing things that we forget or seldom remember our inner need to just be. Just being to many people seems like doing nothing at all and so is not worth spending time and energy on. But as human beings rather than human doings we can benefit greatly from giving more space for what we all know deep down are our hearts’ inner human needs.
This workshop is an opportunity for you to explore the sacred space of your own heart sphere and to gain an increased capacity for life in the heart along with a greater sense of connection to the hearts of others. In this way we may reach to the very depths of our being and at the same time may even expand the energy of one’s heart so that it can encompass the whole universe.
Mystics focus on the heart because they know it is the centre of the being that controls the mind and all its vehicles, including the physical body. All mysteries belong to the heart yet the heart knows no mysteries. This is because the heart is the seat of true understanding. Bright but hidden, the Real Self dwells in the heart.
The emphasis of the dances, chants and other practices shared during this weekend will be for you to feel everything as coming from and belonging to the heart, so that sensation, feeling and love may engage with every experience. There will be heart meditations, mantra and rhythmic movement to emphasise the heart space and the rhythms of the heart. It is open to all who are ready and willing to open the doors of their heart.
It is not necessary to have had experience of this form of spiritual chant and dance - sometimes called Dances of Universal Peace. The dances are for those who have a sense of inner adventure towards engaging with body, heart and mind in a new way. The dances are simple and accessible as well as being profound and deep. Mostly these practices are danced and sung as we move together in a circle. The sacred chants are from various spiritual traditions. The dances are the inspiration of Samuel L. Lewis and they have grown and spread to many other countries over the years.
These dances combine the transmission of blessing with the spirit of devotion in a dynamic rhythmical way. Our focus is on the breath through the chants and mantras that we sing; as we learn to soar on the wings of the heart. Together we create a deliciously refined atmosphere. The energy of the dances circulates between all the dancers in the whole circle in a fluid and harmonious manner. The electricity of touch and the vibrational resonance of sound are subtle yet influential forms of energetic communication that operate below our conscious level of awareness and yet they have a profound effect on the way we feel.
Philip is a master of Spiritual Dance. He has been immersed in the path of Sufism and other mystical traditions for many years and is a senior teacher (Murshid) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International and a senior dance mentor. Essentially, he is a modern-day mystic but just a regular guy. His way of sharing practices is easy and apparently effortless. He weaves the energies of the hearts through sound, music, breath, space and atmosphere into a deep experience of resonant harmony. He has taught in many countries around the world. He has created over 30 dances many of which are done in dance circles worldwide.

What others have said about Philip.
Here are some of the things I appreciate from this weekend's outstanding retreat that you led: Your voice has a resonance that contains all the years of your inner practices. It has a quality to be easily heard and brings a congruence of depth to the circle. The practices in breath and imagery that you guided us through brought me to the greater truth which is always deep within each of us. Your gentle, effective guidance from ancient texts through modern means of clearing stuck beliefs and emotions helped in my awakening process. Your melodies and dances were soothing, brought us into our hearts and were always appropriate for the mood and time. Thanks for your easy attitude, transparency and leadership.
~Kate McGovern, Prescott
Philip is wonderfully understated and creates an atmosphere that invites a deepening into the heart. He creates the space for me to step into my experience and move beyond the known, towards truth, love and simplicity. He is a musician of the heart who accompanies those on the journey through his subtle and powerful use of sound, rhythm and breath. His workings with groups seems effortless bringing a natural ease and flow that invites a relaxed and open atmosphere and sharing. Philip’s subtle care and attention to detail creates a safe, relaxed and playful space of meeting and sharing. It is this that invites growth and opening in me and a sense of community, family and belonging. Philip creates the space for me to see myself more clearly as I am, in the moment and for me to begin to simply accept and let this be a part of my experience.
~Eveline, Edinburgh
I have danced with Philip since the early 1990s and am privileged to be one of his Sufi mureeds. His gifts are subtle and understated. It is hard to put his refined qualities into words that fully express their power and beauty. What I treasure most, both in his teaching of the dances of universal peace and as my sufi teacher, are his egoless, warm, natural presence, combined with his innate, divine given musicality. Despite his high status as a Sufi Murshid, he never has airs and graces, is consistently friendly, good humoured, even and approachable, always has his feet well planted on the ground. He makes us all feel special and cherished.
~Dinah Aziza, Kendal
Philip, I always feel so nourished and encouraged after a retreat with you, and expanded somehow, by your trust in me. I have felt supported in such an unconditional way by you for so many years now, really from the first time I met you; and your acceptance of me as I am, and your belief in what I am capable of becoming, have been fundamental to my growth in that time. I am a more confident and fulfilled person because of what you have given me.
