Beloved Dancers,


Spring is peaking through the piles of snow, the layers of last year's leaves, in an ever astounding tour de force of Creation's unfurling energy.  May it be so in your corner of the world as well. 

Just as the wheel of the seasons continue to turn and change, so do our dance circles.  Here's some of the highlights with more details below. 
  • Will Hale will be leading Aramaic Dances at Unity North tomorrow at 7 p.m. 
  • Saleem will be leading his 1st regular Sunday Dance Circle on Sunday, April 1st.  No foolin' on this Easter Holy Day!
  • Karima is leading the 4th Sunday Dances for Light Upon Light Sufi Center now.
  • Conie is leaning into some Tuesday or Thursday evening Dance Circle in St. Paul.  Let her know if you're interested. 
  • Registration for the Purpose Dance Retreat is still open:  https://2018dsm-retreat.eventbrite.com.  Deadline for lodging and meals is April 4!  Update here
 
And as everything goes around and comes around, the International organization of Dances of Universal Peace is recognizing the 50th anniversary of when Murshid SAM introduced his first Dance on June 24.  How should we celebrate?  Please let us know if you'd like to be part of the celebration. 



Rumor has it that Saadi and Tasnim will be co-leading a Dances retreat in Madison Oct 26-28.  Stay tuned for more details at MadisonSufis.com

Toward the One,

Conie, your sometimes unfaithful servant
