Our Mission
The mission of Spirit Dance Centre is to provide opportunities for people to learn and experience a variety of traditional and indigenous spiritual practices; to promote multi-faith and multi-cultural understanding which contributes toward international understanding and world peace; to promote compassion and joy through the advancement of ethical and spiritual values; and to encourage socially and ecologically sustainable practices. In 2012 we began supporting Tibetan refugees who needed help to resettle in British Columbia Canada. We will now be continuing this work by assisting Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing the destruction of their homes and their lives in Ukraine.
About SPIRIT DANCE CENTRE FOR SPIRITUAL ECOLOGY
Spirit Dance Centre operates on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. We offer ceremonies, teachings and workshops which provide information and instruction in traditional and indigenous spiritual traditions and philosophies. One part of this is an ongoing Tibetan Buddhist Studies program.
We host ceremonial gatherings and multi-faith services that bring together teachers, practitioners and ceremonial leaders from different spiritual traditions. We have twice held an event called Medicine Ways: World Healing Ceremonies with Tibetan and First Nation Healers.
Our programs are low cost or free, designed particularly for people who cannot normally afford to attend expensive courses, retreats and workshops.
Beginning in 2012 we helped exiled and stateless Tibetan families to resettle on the Sunshine Coast and begin a new life in Canada. We provided basic support, language and skills training, help adjusting to Canadian culture and preparing to be self-sufficient in their new home.
Now, in March 2022, we will be using our knowledge and skills to help Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing the war in Ukraine and who are arriving in Canada seeking safety and support. Whatever their future - staying in Canada or returning to their homes - we will provide them with the assistance they need while they are here in BC.
