Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and righting,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.

                             -Rumi

As we celebrate new beginnings in January, we also honor the past. January 15th is the Urs (death anniversary) of Murshid Samuel Lewis who first envisioned the dances as a dynamic method of promoting peace and unity. Join us as we "eat, dance, and pray together" for planetary peace.
