Responses to the September dance
        Beloved DiAnahita,  Such a beautiful circle, a nourishing and nurturing gathering, so inspiring, heartful, beneficial, and healing.
           Thank you for bringing us together and for bringing into our lives new dances and new ways to share peace & love throughout the world. Dancing Love & Joyful Blessings,   Sukaynah
Concentration is a state leading to contemplation.   And so one goes  through  the  meditative process to achieve fulfillment of every soul's purpose in life.

words to a dance we may do...
Ahavah Raba Ahavtanu
Amina Linda McMakin
With a great love, God has loved us. This beautiful phrase from the Jewish morning prayer service is a translation of the Hebrew "Ahavah raba Ahavtanu," reminding us that we're always in the love of God,  given and received unconditionally, and revealed through acts of compassion and kindness.
Hi Diana,
I have been thinking about the dance & how much we enjoyed it.  I loved the dancing--especially the one with the hands coming together in center heart chakra.                               Konnie

Everyone needs to experience Dancing Peacock Paradise and the DUP!  Much love to you and all our dancing friends.  Samantha

Our Topic  “Concentration”  will include the Purification Breaths, Poetry by Hafiz & Rumi, the 10 Sufi Thoughts, a selection from Hazrat Inayat Khan's Gathekas, Wazifa, Dance & Zikr.  
Our purpose in these gatherings is to learn more about the mystical path of Sufism, build spiritual community,  deepen our own understanding, and open to connection with the All-Pervasive Divine.

A group of young adult Sufis from Sarasota will stay at Dancing Peacock Paradise Nov. 28 - 30, Thanksgiving weekend, to join our dancing & contribute to our reason for Gratitude!  Above is a photo of Jessica & Akbar, celebrating their engagement, who will lead us in zikr Saturday night, and Universal Worship on Sunday morning.
