What’s the history of musicians in the Dances? What’s their role? How does a leader work with musicians? \n\n\n\nEarly Dances\, as brought through by Murshid SAM\, did not have much musical support; it’s something that has grown over the years as the Dances have evolved. There are papers on the DUP IN website about musicianship (we highly recommend this one by Peter Munir Reynolds: https://dancesofuniversalpeace.org/posts/articles-papers-musicianship-for-the-dances-of-universal-peace-notes-by-peter-munir-reynolds) and musicians can join the guild as musician mentees\, but not a lot of attention is placed on what the role of a musician is in a Dance session\, how to be a supportive attuned musician\, or how to work with musicians as a leader.   \n\n\n\nZareen and Sky are both experienced Dance musicians as well as leaders\, and we hope to have some other experienced Dance musicians with us as we explore this topic\, which is huge. Join us and let’s see where the conversation goes.  \n\n\n\nThis zoom session will be Monday\, December 1st\, 3pm to 4pm Pacific Time. If you’re not sure what time that is wherever you are\, here is an easy time zone conversion:   https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter \n\n\n\nHere’s the Zoom link: \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86544504389?pwd=I6hNkwKuOZQDDtrIJ4VJ2i62DgV59k.1 \n\n\n\nWe are gathering a solid video archive of topics that are useful for leaders and Dancers; the whole collection can be seen at https://mysticdance.com/dlt/ \n\n\n\nHope to see you soon\, \n\n\n\nBlessings\, \n\n\n\n~Sky and Zareen \n\n\n\nIf you have input you would like to make available before the session\, please email it to  DLT@mysticdance.com \n\n\n\nBring your stories\, your expertise\, your questions\, and let’s share it all.

Simple movements and mantras are the magic elixir to slow us down enough so that awakening can reveal itself. The inner being opens like a flower blooming in the forest. \n\n\n\nWhy: We are taught from birth that we are separate entities and this leaves an ache in the heart. The simple act of moving in a circle with our fellow human beings drops the illusion of separation and aligns us with the ground of being. \n\n\n\nWhat: This is a two-hour practice of unity using simple chants from spiritual traditions of the world\, focusing on the poetic simplicity of Sufi mantras. No partner or experience needed. Whether you are a long time meditator\, practitioner of mindfullness or true beginner on the spiritual path the zikr circle welcomes you into a horizontal alignment with being. In other words… it’s easy and fun! \n\n\n\nNow! Sign up now for an evening of harmony and meeting being beyond mind. Song and movement are the opening keys to relation. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nZIKR PRACTICE\n\n\n\nHistory: Zikr is an ancient practice of remembrance from the Sufi tradition. In essence\, it is the experience of humans becoming one in movement. The traditional joy of aligning oneself with god has evolved into a modern zikr practice that aligns with the vast unity of the universe itself. \n\n\n\nRemembrance: This practice comes from the ancient whirling dervishes of the middle east and is inspired by the heart of Rumi who spun around a pole in ecstacy chanting poems of his unity with all. In Zikr we do this with each other. Humans have always danced in a circle in celebration and ceremony of our unity to all things. In a Zikr dance we focus attention on remembering who we are as the “I Am That” of being in the place of no separation. \n\n\n\nWhen we remember who we are we open up our full relationship with earth as the mother. This is the open heart we need to slow down enough so that the life of earth can start repairing herself again\, welcoming us back as the earth children we are meant to be. \n\n\n\nCircle Dancing: Specifically… Zikr is a two-hour circle dance with melody so beautiful\, movement of such ease\, and words so gentle that we need not pause. We join hands and move together as one\, allowing true being to arise. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDANCE FOR HEALTH\n\n\n\nEasing Stress: Human beings are not designed to live in the constant stress of separation\, competition\, and noise we are bombarded with in modern life. An evening of Zikr is designed to relax us into the heart space where we long to dwell. This calms the nervous system\, relaxes the mind and let’s our natural health arise. \n\n\n\nTrue Heart: The natural human being lived a life with time to snuggle up in the laps of others. Back in the day of the ancient tribes we were surrounded with care. Moving in a circle together drops us into this primitive space surrounded by friends and family… even complete strangers become instant friends. \n\n\n\nInner Stillness: The constant noise of modern life is both within and without. We are designed to enjoy a silent stillness inside\, as well as a life surrounded by bird calls and flowing water. Many of us find our bodies in rebellion at the incessant abuse of too much. It takes a moment to relax out of this constant stress. Spending a few hours in movement and song with our family is a marvelous elixir to the soul. \n\n\n\nEnhancing Your Path: Coming together for an evening of Zikr dancing enhances the journey of any spiritual path by giving us that moment of unity with the divine. Traditional Sufi wisdom says that praying by yourself can being the person into harmony with god. But praying and dancing with others surrounds us with a host of angels. \n\n\n\n\nLet us know you’re coming\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHAT WE DO\n\n\n\nStart With An Open Room: The space opens up for people to arrive at 6:30. As you enter there may be a bustle of instruments being set up\, and friends meeting friends. If you are new\, come on in and say Hi to Zareen and Wayne who will be setting up guitars… we may even get you to carry something because we are all family here. \n\n\n\nBalanced Walking: Zareen and Wayne start the dance with light strums on the guitar as we begin walking around the room\, getting to know the space. You can expect light talking\, and even hugs as people smile and greet each other. \n\n\n\nJoin Hands: The circle joins hands and Zareen starts us with a very simple tune and movements. The act of moving as a circle drops us easily into the natural heart. The evening will be one long song with many movements. Everyone is free to step out for what ever you may need: drink\, a pause\, or to move to a different spot in the circle. The song keeps going and you can come right back in. \n\n\n\nClosing: The dance comes to an end before 8:00 so that we have time to talk\, enjoy our new friends\, and cookies and tea! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho We Are\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Zikr evening is facilitated by Zareen and Wayne\, long time practitioners and dance musicians. Wayne welcomes new musicians into the circle to learn this practice of meditative giving with your musical instruments. Contact us beforehand. \n\n\n\nZareen is a long time Sannyasin\, Sufi and Nonduality teacher. Zareen dropped from ego attachment in 1990 and has been sharing eclectic awakening practices since then. You can watch her lively teachings on the channel https://youtube.com/@mapremzareen. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNo experience or partner needed. Come with your feet and you’ll be gently guided into the circle where movement and song naturally open the heart to who we are as vital human beings. The world needs us awake. \n\n\n\nPlease sign up early so we know you are coming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPowered by URL:https://mysticdance.com/event/zikr-at-vitalize-studio-slc/ LOCATION:Vitalize Community Studio\, 3474 S 2300 E #12\, Millcreek\, UT\, 84109\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mysticdance.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/zikr-heart-blue.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20250627T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20250627T110000 DTSTAMP:20260606T124710 CREATED:20250610T143735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250624T192516Z UID:9678-1751018400-1751022000@mysticdance.com SUMMARY:Zoom: Reconnect\, Chat & Sing DESCRIPTION:Hello Happy Dancers\, \n\n\n\nThank you to all the beloveds who joined us at our Salmon Camp.

But praying and dancing with others surrounds us with a host of angels. \n\n\n\n\nLet us know you’re coming\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHAT WE DO\n\n\n\nStart With An Open Room: The space opens a half hour early up for people to arrive. As you enter there may be a bustle of instruments being set up\, and friends meeting friends. If you are new\, come on in and say Hi to Zareen and Wayne who will be setting up guitars… we may even get you to carry something because we are all family here. \n\n\n\nBalanced Walking: Zareen and Wayne start the dance with light strums on the guitar as we begin walking around the room\, getting to know the space. You can expect light talking\, and even hugs as people smile and greet each other. \n\n\n\nJoin Hands: The circle joins hands and Zareen starts us with a very simple tune and movements. The act of moving as a circle drops us easily into the natural heart. The evening will be one long song with many movements. Everyone is free to step out for what ever you may need: drink\, a pause\, or to move to a different spot in the circle. The song keeps going and you can come right back in. \n\n\n\nClosing: The dance comes to an end with some time to spare before we need to leave our space so that we have time to talk\, enjoy our new friends\, and perhaps cookies and tea! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho We Are\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Zikr evening is facilitated by Zareen and Wayne\, long time practitioners and dance musicians. Wayne welcomes new musicians into the circle to learn this practice of meditative giving with your musical instruments. Contact us beforehand. \n\n\n\nZareen is a long time Sannyasin\, Sufi and Nonduality teacher. Zareen dropped from ego attachment in 1990 and has been sharing eclectic awakening practices since then. You can watch her lively teachings on the channel https://youtube.com/@mapremzareen. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNo experience or partner needed. Come with your feet and you’ll be gently guided into the circle where movement and song naturally open the heart to who we are as vital human beings. The world needs us awake. \n\n\n\nPlease sign up early so we know you are coming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPowered by URL:https://mysticdance.com/event/sufi-dance-at-mind-your-body/ LOCATION:Mind Your Body Pocatello\, 234 South Main Street\, Pocatello\, ID\, 83204\, United States CATEGORIES:Zikr ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mysticdance.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Pocatello-Mind-Your-Body.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20250525T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20250525T110000 DTSTAMP:20260606T124710 CREATED:20250523T013522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250523T013734Z UID:9557-1748167200-1748170800@mysticdance.com SUMMARY:Mystic Dance Zoom Music & Meetup DESCRIPTION:Zoom With Us \n\n\n\nConnie Zareen and Wayne are working our way back towards Idaho after dancing for a week in Paonia Colorado.

The afternoon is led by the Montana Dances of Universal Peace team and more! This diverse team will carry us through many spiritual traditions of the world in the ancient practice of community circle dance. \n\n\n\nNo experience or partner needed. Each dance is taught in place: we are given a short song easy steps and the meaning (or attunement) of what we are doing. Then we move! We do songs from a wide variety of sources: native Christianity Judaism or eastern Sufi practices. Often they are simple chants or inspiring poems. \n\n\n\nThe magic is the circle. Each person (you included) is what creates this magic. Humans evolved singing and celebrating in circle dance. As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home. \n\n\n\nWhat’s it Like? Dancing with us is like joining a tribe. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s names but become immediate brothers and sisters. The music brings us together. The camp is held by elder wisdom with experienced leaders who have been doing this for over thirty years. Often something new like this can be uncomfortable but we know how to bring you in with a smooth transition from aloneness to togetherness. There is an essence in every human being that yearns for togetherness. We use our feet simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart. \n\n\n\nIt doesn’t matter what you wear… just as long as you are there! \n\n\n\nTwo events are happening at Open Ended this Sunday. Kirtan starts at 11 followed by a light lunch and then Dances of Universal Peace at 4.00. \n\n\n\nFor more see https://mysticdance.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave a full day of joy. \n\n\n\nJoin us for Kirtan at 11 am\, followed by a light lunch. Kirtan is a yoga practice of simple call-and-response chants to calm the mind and access our true inner nature. Many call it a path of devotion… we focus on ‘who’ is in this state of devotion and how our true nature is constantly in unity. \n\n\n\nSinging together is a simple way to lift us all in harmony and community. Zareen and Wayne bring the chant to life with guitar\, drums and vocal harmony in a universal attunement to traditions around the world.

As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s it Like? Dancing with us is like joining a tribe. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s names\, but become immediate brothers and sisters. The music brings us together. The camp is held by elder wisdom with experienced leaders who have been doing this for over thirty years. Often something new like this can be uncomfortable\, but we know how to bring you in with a smooth transition from aloneness to togetherness. There is an essence in every human being that yearns for togetherness. We use our feet\, simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Dance Tent Creates a Magical Environment\n\n\n\nCome together: Dancers can start arriving at camp on Friday\, Sept 8th. First dance will be Friday evening and the last dance will be Sunday morning. We will be treated with meals from Homestead Organics local food. \n\n\n\nTent setup will start on Thursday noonish.

We are inclusive of the traditions of the world and each other. Most importantly\, we use this time to recreate ourselves into co-creating relatives of the world rather than individual consumers. The overall vision is to come alive in new ways and jumpstart a dynamic participation in life that transforms the world… in other words: Sam Lewis’s Peace Project. \n\n\n\nAbout our dates and location\n\n\n\nOur event location opens up on Friday Sept 8th\, and stays available through Sunday. We will be raising the tent on Thursday. You are certainly welcome to arrive on Thursday and help set up for camp if you want to join in the tent fun.

The Salmon Wild River Camp is led by fabulous Dances of Universal Peace leaders from Idaho\, Montana… and even Tennessee this year! This diverse team will carry us through the many spiritual traditions of the world in the ancient practice of community circle dance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat We Do\n\n\n\nNo experience or partner needed. Each dance is taught in place: we are given a short song\, easy steps\, and the meaning (or attunement) of what we are doing. We do songs from a wide variety of sources: native\, Christianity\, Judaism or eastern Sufi practices. Often they are simple chants or inspiring poems. \n\n\n\nThe magic is the circle. Each person (you included) is what creates the magic. Humans evolved singing and celebrating in circle dance. As soon as you step into the circle you’ll know you are home. \n\n\n\nMusicians\n\n\n\nAs you arrive at camp please let us know about your musicianship! We coordinate acoustic musicians into our dance sessions. You’ll want to play with us! We’ll also have a dance/music jam in the afternoons. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes… the camp is very inexpensive. This is because we love what we do. This is not about making money\, but about coming together. plus\, we don’t have to pay for our tent location\, lodging/camping/food is on your own — and we need you! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere is Salmon?\n\n\n\nWe are dancing in Salmon\, Idaho along the Continental Divide in Central Idaho. We have a 30 foot round tent which is a magical place to camp. There is lots of room for camping nearby\, and there are motels nearby in town to stay. \n\n\n\nCamping Can Be Fun… click to learn more. \n\n\n\nFrom Zareen: My goal for this camp is to provide an inexpensive space where we can all come together\, sing\, dance\, and dive deeper into new possibilities. Perhaps things we haven’t really thought about\, such as: How science and spirituality intersect\, the conditioned mind and community issues\, the non-dual wisdom of Turtle Island. We honor the importance of giving indigenous people space to recreate themselves after generations of trauma rather than appropriating ceremonies we don’t understand. Most importantly\, how we use this time to also recreate ourselves into co-creating relatives of the world rather than individual consumers. The overall vision is to come alive in new ways and jumpstart a dynamic participation in life that transforms the world… in other words: Sam Lewis’s Peace Project. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout our dates and location\n\n\n\nOur event location opens up on Wednesday the 21st\, and stays available through Monday. So we can come early and stay late. You are certainly welcome to arrive on Wednesday June 21st and get set up for camp. We’ll be finishing the tent setup on Wednesday and have a jam in the tent. Although the last dance will be on Sunday morning of June 25th\, you are welcome to stay and play until Monday. \n\n\n\nPartial Attendance?\n\n\n\nYou are welcome to attend partial days.

Water is available and electricity will be solar (electric plugins are available nearby in the ranch shop). \n\n\n\nShopping & Restaurants\n\n\n\nThere are lots of places for food in Salmon\, these are our favorites. \n\n\n\n\nHarvest Grocery: A small organic grocery store on Main Street. They are open on Sundays. On Main Street\, in a brick building on the south side. \n\n\n\nSaveway Market: Is really the only grocery store in Salmon. Drive into town and they are at the first stop light. They are Western Family and have a great selection of organic these days. Good vegetable section. Warning: Store is completely closed on Sunday!\n\n\n\nGood Fellows Bakery: A fantastic artisan bakery. Great lunches. Amazing bread. Main street\, north side.\n\n\n\nBertram’s Brewery: Great lunches\, dinners and home brew. South side of Main Street. \n\n\n\nNature’s Pantry: Health Food store. Closed Sunday\,\n\n\n\nCountry Store: Up on the “Bar Hill” on Courthouse Drive: Local milk\, eggs\, cheese and yogurt.\n\n\n\nFarmer’s Market Saturday morning: in the park by the bridge.\n\n\n\n\nLodging\n\n\n\nThere is lots of room to camp near the tent. Lots of room for campers and RVs. No hookups. Good motels are in town approx. 5 miles from where we camp (Salmon is small). \n\n\n\nTwo small rooms are available on the ranch\, and there are three rooms available in Wayne and Connie’s house in town. Each room is an additional $200 per person\, for all four days. \n\n\n\nTo reserve these rooms text Wayne: 208-756-8137 \n\n\n\nOther Lodging in Salmon\, approx 5 miles\n\n\n\n\nStagecoach Inn: This is the nicest motel in town. It’s right on the river and an easy drive to the tent location.  It’s $100+ a night. Website 208-756-2919\n\n\n\nSuper 8: This motel is also quite close\, and lots cheaper. Website 208-756-8880\n\n\n\nAndrea’s RV Park. They are right on the river and have RV hookups. They also have one small “hostel” cabin. Website 208-756-2063\n\n\n\nRiver Front Inn… I think that’s the new name… Used to be Wagons West and that’s how you find it on Google. Very cheap motel\, but right on the river and nice folks. It’s only cheap because the building is really old. 208-756-4281. Waiting for them to call back with rates.\n\n\n\nBear Country Inn: Down on Main Street. A new motel. $70 and up. http://bearcountryinnsalmon.com 208-756-1499\n\n\n\nSacajawea Inn: I think this is the cheapest motel\, or equal to River Front Inn. It’s not trashy. This motel is on the south side of Salmon\, so it is the shortest drive to the tent spot. Nice people. 208-756-2294 (I think)\n\n\n\n\nFind the Dance\n\n\n\nWe’ll be dancing in our 30′ tent. Bring your own chair. There isn’t lots of room to have chairs for everyone in the tent\, but lots of room outside in the meadow. It may be cool in June but we have a stove for our tent. If it’s cool we can also build a nice outdoor fire for evenings. We’ll post more pictures as we get some work done on the spot. \n\n\n\n\n\nBelow is a satellite shot of the Hyde Ranch where we will be dancing. This is a special spot this year as the owner\, Mike\, is a vital member of progressive groups in Salmon. He is a Salmon native\, and will help us bring Salmon folks out for dancing. We will be adding a lot of music\, fun and love into his life\, and he’ll be creating a firm foundation for our retreat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeading into the tent… ready to dance! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n$50 per person.

Dancing with us is like joining a tribe. When we first come together we often don’t know each other’s name\, but become immediate brothers and sisters. The camp is held by elder wisdom with experienced leaders who have been doing this for over thirty years. Often something new like this can be uncomfortable\, but we know how to bring you in with a smooth transition from aloneness to togetherness. There is an essence in every human being that yearns for togetherness. We use our feet\, simple music and ancient wisdom to create a moving space of heart. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCome dance with us. The minute you step into the circle you come home to your heart. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register for Salmon 2023 URL:https://mysticdance.com/event/salmon-wild-river-camp/ LOCATION:Hyde Ranch\, 11 Hyde Ln\, Salmon\, ID\, 83467\, United States CATEGORIES:Retreats ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mysticdance.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/z-lead.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20230526T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20230529T000000 DTSTAMP:20260606T124710 CREATED:20230215T042753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230505T152608Z UID:7410-1685127600-1685318400@mysticdance.com SUMMARY:Inland Northwest Sufi Camp DESCRIPTION:Spiritual Director: Hamid Daniel Kirchhof.Near Coeur dAlene Idaho.
