A video invitation to the Dances of Universal Peace |
Dances of Universal Peace (begun by the Sufi
teacher Murshid
Samuel Lewis) are a means to revivify our love and joy, and
integrate ourselves with the power of Peace through the practice of
meditative circle dances and walks, with singing and chanting of
Divine Names and sacred phrases from many spiritual traditions.
We cultivate compassion within and without.....
No dance experience needed, everyone is welcome. We form the circle together!

Dances of
Universal Peace were the vision of a Sufi master named Samuel
Lewis, and began as a Sufi practice. Over the years they have come to
embrace all the major spiritual traditions of the world. By singing
sacred phrases to the accompaniment of simple movement, participants
literally embody the sacred phrase, moving beyond the level of ego and
personality to see the Divine essence that resides within each of us. Led
by Akal Dev Sharonne
