Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines.The Dances of Universal Peace and Walking Concentrations are spiritual practice in motion.
Drawing on the sacred phrases, scripture, and poetry of the many spiritual traditions of the earth, the Dances blend chant, music and evocative movement into a living experience of unity, peace and integration. This taste of our true nature – as Universal Peace – opens to the possibility of a deep spiritual revolution within the person.
The Elemental Walks support the practice of the Planetary Walks or Astrological Yoga. “Through the Walks, the individual practitioner is able to progress through all stages of development by use of breath, heart attunement and concentration.”
Zubin will share how these 3 practices: The Dance, the Element Walks and an introduction to Astrological Yoga, as given by Murshid Sam Lewis to Murshid Wali Ali Meyer, her Sufi initiator and Master teacher who was the Master teacher of these walks and dances for the last 50 years. It was his baraka ( بركة a “blessing”) that brought so many to put their feet where he put his.
“It is by following Wali Ali around, holding his hand in the dances and following in the wake of his energy during Walking Meditations that I “caught” the practices.” ~ Zubin
A simple vegetarian meal will be offered after this in-person Satsang with a suggested donation of $5-10.
Satsang is a special time for us to come together as a community. In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored often through an informal discussion. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.
People of all faiths are welcome.
