Prescott Dances
October 19th, 2019
Oh Ever-Living! Oh Eternal!
Such is the paradox of life. There are beginnings and endings, and there is that which has no beginning, no end! Come dance with us as we celebrate both!
The Dances of Universal Peace were founded in the 1960’s by an American mystic, Samuel Lewis, who studied religions and spiritual teaching from all over the world. He realized that there is a core of Unity among them and he had a vision that if people would eat, dance and pray together, we could create peace. Working with dancer Ruth St. Denis, he began creating dances to share those spiritual teachings in an experiential way, to be shared in joyful community. The dances are now done all over the world.
No musical or dance experience of any kind is required, and everyone is welcome to join in. The DANCES focus on PEACE ~ creating a sense of solidarity and community, while celebrating the underlying unity of all the spiritual traditions of the Earth.
Skyview School ~ 125 S. Rush Street, Prescott - Turn south off of Gurley Street, one block west of Bradshaw Drive.

Prescott Zikr
Sunday Oct 13th
9:30AM-3PM
"It is useless to argue over the condition of the world. It may not be necessary for us to correct the whole world, to make everybody good, but we can correct ourselves, we can with God's help perfect ourselves. As we have discussed in the last lesson, even our prayers, our meditations, our devotions emanate a spiritual energy which goes over the whole earth and acts as a healing instrument. Every spiritual exercise is a blessing to many, many souls and a great benefit to humanity."
SAMUEL LEWIS

to calm the heart, to deepen in the experience of Love,
and, as Murshid Sam has said, to serve humanity.
When: Oct 13th, 9:30A - 3PM.
Bring a dish to share for a potluck lunch.
Where: Barakat's, 2375 Mendiburo Way, Prescott. 928-717-2017
