Why We Dance
We encourage world peace by actively honoring diversity; we promote local peace by dancing in community; we practice personal
peace by immersing ourselves in simple sacred phrases and movements from the world's spiritual traditions.
The Dances Of Universal Peace were envisioned by founder Murshid Samuel Lewis as a context creating conditions
that might allow people to have a direct experience with Spirit, without doctrine or dogma. We form a circle; simple
movements and sacred phrases are quickly taught and easily learned; the dance begins; we experience one culture's
approach to the divine, then another. Hopefully we catch a glimpse of the one truth where the world's sacred paths converge.
"One of the reasons I am teaching this music and dance is to increase joy, not awe towards another person, but bliss
in our own self. This is finding God within, through experience."
- Murshid Samuel Lewis
