A Sufi Evening including Dances of Universal Peace
1st Thursdays 7:30pm at Hidden Springs Wellness Center
1651 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, Oregon
A Sufi Evening includes Sufi teachings and practices, and the Dances of Universal Peace. A simple breath practice and a prayer or two from the lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan provide a window into the offerings of Ashland Sufi Heart Circle. The Dances of Universal Peace (sometimes called Sufi Dancing) are simple group dances. They are a form of body prayer; sometimes joyful and expressive, other times meditative and inward. Sacred phrases form the hubs around which these dances whirl. Dedicated to peace within and without, these are easily learned and heart opening practices. No previous experience is necessary, and all are welcome. For you long time Dances of Universal Peace folks, these meetings are primarily Dances. For information and directions, please call 541-708-0681.
