The
Dances of Universal Peace
are simple, meditative, joyous, multi-cultural circle dances that use
sacred phrases, chants, music, and movements from the many traditions
of the earth to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and others.
Based on the work begun in the late 60's by Samuel L. Lewis, they promote
peace and integration within individuals and groups worldwide. There are
no performers nor audience - new arrivals and old hands form the circle
together. And, no prior experience is necessary!
Some background:
The dances were first created by Samuel Lewis, an American mystic recognized
as a teacher within the Jewish, Christian, Zen and Sufi traditions. (1896-1971)
They were inspired in part by his teachers, Sufi Murshid Hazrat Inayat
Khan and American modern and sacred dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis. Since
their inception, the dances have been used as a tool in many spiritual
communities, citizen diplomacy, therapeutic and educational settings.
Through the efforts of the International Network for the Dances of Universal
Peace, the dances have an increasingly global community, and continue
to expand in both scope and quality. Joyful, uplifting and unifying. No
experience is necessary - just an open heart and mind.
May all beings be well and happy,
