Sacred Arts Community Camp – May 2023

I will be teaching at the Sacred Arts Community Camp from Friday 26th May to Saturday 3rd June, 2023.

 Something to offer all ages, this family camp in the Chiltern Hills will nurture and inspire you.

* Camping in circles around a fire * Community * Friendship * Dancing * Singing *
* Creativity * Meditaion * Yoga * Tai-Chi * Storytelling * Sports & Games * Nature *
* Activities for children & teens * Acustic music * Cafe * Shop * Alcohol & Drug free *

I met the Dances through the camps, and Sacred Arts Camp has been an important part of my life since it first came into being. It’s the community where my children have been held as they grew from birth to adulthood, and where I have been held in my own growth and development over these many years.

I now lead Dances in many far-flung places, most recently having spent a month in Morocco supporting the Dances in new circles there, but it’s always such a joy to be back at SAC, and I look forward to dancing with you in the field.

Songs of One Breath – Recorded 24/3/23 Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan Mubarak!

Our soul is blessed with the impression of the glory of God whenever our lips praise God.

– Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

Commentary by Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):

This praise is the one thing which surely pierces the mind-mesh. In the first place, the praise we give to God is the one praise for which we cannot possibly expect return; this lack of expectancy of return shows unselfishness, and unselfishness is the one thing that blesses the soul.

Practising Presence, Morocco 2023

I will be taking a group to Morocco again from 4-11 February 2023, with my beloved Sufi guide Muiz Brinkerhoff. We’ll be visiting the beautiful new eco-lodge, La Maison Anglaise, in Taroudant. I was lucky enough to be one of their first visitors when they opened, just before the pandemic, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s comfortable and beautiful, as well as innovative and inspiring. Bookings are going well, but there are still spaces, and flights are very reasonable at this point.
