Toward the One, The Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty
The Only Being, United with All the Illuminated Souls
Who form the embodiment of the Master
The Spirit of Guidance
Welcome to SamaSangha and Northeast Sufi Circle.
We honor all those beings, who from the beginning of time, hold aloft the light of truth. We are committed to realizing our human capacity to become fully awake, both for our own benefit and for the benefit of all beings.
We are rooted in the Universal Sufi heart stream of Pir-O-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis.
SAMA serves as a branch of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, and as a hub for The Dances of Universal Peace.

Dance Deepening & Leaders Support 2026
Transmission & Living Spirit: Towards 7 Generations
With Murshids Halima & Abraham Sussman, Malika Salazar + Friends!
May 29th – May 31st
We attune to the living magnetism that infuses this beautiful practice. Singing and moving together Towards the One, we practice breath, rhythm, sound, listening, and heart awakening. Dancing our prayers, we celebrate the Sacred.
All Lovers of the Dance are Welcome. Together we cultivate the ground of our shared future. This is a deepening opportunity for all Dancers and a supportive opportunity for Dance Leaders and Mentors to deepen in the Elements of Mastery and further the fine art of Dance transmission.
