Dance Deepening & Leaders Support 2024

Transmission & Living Spirit: Towards 7 Generations

Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday – Monday, May 25-27 2024, in rural North Central MA
With Murshids Halima & Abraham Sussman and Friends

The Walks and Dances of Universal Peace offer personal and planetary transformation opportunities.

‘Although we seem to be in a world of song and dance, we are most concerned with Peace on Earth’ Murshid Samuel Lewis

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.

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 Dance to deepen in the Elements of Mastery and further the fine art of Dance transmission.

Halima and Abraham are senior mentor teachers for the Dances of Universal Peace and the Sufi Ruhaniat. Both caught their love and transmission of the Walks and Dances directly from Murshid SAM.
