Welcome to the website for Dances of Universal Peace events in Cottonwood, Sedona and Prescott, Arizona.
The Dances of Universal Peace (sometimes called Sufi dancing) are a joyous, multi-cultural way to touch the spiritual Essence within ourselves and others. The Dances bring together sacred phrases, chants, music and simple movements evocative of the many spiritual traditions of the Earth. Offered as "body prayer" in a spirit of sacredness, the dances promote peace and create an integrated experience of body, mind and spirit, helping dancers to realize the unity of all. No experience is necessary - the dances are simple Circle dances and all dances are taught each time.
The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative and uplifting group dances that represent and integrate the world's spiritual traditions. Some of the traditions represented are: Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Native American, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Goddess, Celtic and Universalist. We often call this practice Walking Prayer.

"In the Dances of Universal Peace we take sacred phrases from the spiritual traditions of the earth, link hands in the circle of life, and dance, chant and pray for peace, joy, upliftment, and the elevation of our consciousness. We celebrate and acknowledge that which unites us, the breath of unity. We honor the many paths that lead Toward the One and we come to understand and honor ourselves and each other more deeply." ~Anahata Iradah & Prema Dasara
