DUPNA Youth & Next-Generation Page

One of DUPNA's 2011 Goals is to support and encourage our next-generation Dance leaders and dancers throughout the USA and Canada. This new Youth & Next-Generation Page presents resources that we hope will provide the tools you need to promote, inspire, and enliven your interest and enjoyment of the Dances of Universal Peace. Please return often as we will be adding new materials in 2012!

NEW! Printable Coloring Pages for Kids of All Ages!

When the kids aren't dancing, they can be having fun coloring and learning about the world's wisdom traditions!

Youth-oriented Dance Camps and Events

Take a look around...Does your circle include some dancers or Dance leaders in their 20s and 30s? Would they be interested in attending a camp where they could meet others in their generation? Many camps offer special activities for teens, children, and young adults.

A Residential Program on Living Sustainably in Spiritual Community

July 1—September 30, 2012

Join us for the entire three months, or for any amount of the time

Spiritual Guides – Darvesha, Yaqin and Guest Teachers

This coming summer we would like to invite young adults (and young-hearted adults) to take up temporary residence with us in our spiritual community: to live naturally and sustainably, with love and gratitude for this magnificent, sacred nature that is the fabric of our lives, the display of God, our scripture, guide and teacher.

Join us this summer to explore:

· the relationship between spirituality and sustainability—through spiritual practices, study and direct experience

· living in spiritual community—gathering for meals, daily practice, zikr, dance, celebration, ritual and ceremony

· nature—alone and with others

· natural living—using alternative water and electric systems

· natural building—hands-on cob construction using local materials

· natural food production—participate in the community garden

· the flora, fauna and cultural sites of the Gila Wilderness—trips and extended adventures with local guides

The time is ripe for younger generations and innovators of the sixties to join hands and hearts in working and playing together to create a more sustainable and compassionate world. We hope you will join us! And please think about helping to send a young person you know!
