What we’re about
The purpose of The Dances of Universal Peace is to expand Peace, Love, and Harmony, in your life and our world.
If you want more Joy and Peace in your heart and for the world, this group is for you.
You can join in for the joy, fun and keep it lite, or it can become a most powerful spiritual practice that leads you toward the Oneness of Enlightenment.
We have regular Dances all over Florida, United States and many other Countries as well.
Some of the Dances are a single two hour events followed by a Potluck. That's why I've coined the phrase "Sing, Dance and Praise Together~ then Break Bread".
We also have more extensive Retreats lasting from 2 days - 5 days.
The Dances were originated by Samuel Lewis.
"The spiritual dance has no other purpose, no other aim than to elevate humankind beyond self-thought, to joy, to bliss, to realization and to peace. The sincere dancer is one of the best workers for universal harmony, and so, for universal peace." (Samuel L. Lewis) AKA Sufi Sam
