Samuel Lewis's birthday
October 18, 1896
The Dances appeared during the golden period in the last years of Murshid Sam's life from 1956 through 1970. I heard him say on the day we did the first Dances, "They will go all over the world because they belong to God and not to me personally." The Dances are certainly one of his singular accomplishments. They are a wonderful contribution to world culture & to spiritual realization. Murshid Wali Ali Meyer

Comments from the Fernandina Team
We offer inexpressible gratitude for the extraordinarily special afternoon you facilitated for us yesterday! Relaxing – uplifting – inspiring – joyful - BEAUTIFUL!
Sharing these dances & prayers with others was a joyous experience of expanding our circle of family. We look forward to more of such times in the future. Thank you for sharing your special gifts & you generous spirit.
It was a great event followed by a breakfast and more dancing in the morning. Sharon. A wonderful evening, beautiful dances. Christine. That's got to have pushed more love out into the world! Patt
My husband, Al, says he really enjoyed the songs & dances. He didn't think he would participate, but was pleasantly surprised. Look forward to seeing you again in November. Joyce
You can feel the energy when you get near Diana. I could feel it when I walked into the room. Lani
