Author talks wolves

His 2010 book, Wolves of the Yukon, has received critical acclaim. It chronicles the natural history of the Yukon since the last ice age, as seen through the eyes of the grey wolf.

DUNSTER

Sacred Dance Circle

The Dunster Sacred Dance Circle includes more than 400 dances from around the world that represent a wide range of  cultures.

“Ultimately we seek the integration of ancient and modern forms of dance and ritual,” the group states about itself. “Circle dancing is a catalyst for integration within the self, communities and earth that has immediate as well as far reaching effects. There is a healing quality within the dance itself which enables people to become more poised and self confident within their bodies. The body and the heart learn these simple and flowing dances with ease.”

The circle gathers every second Saturday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Dunster Community Hall
