Canyonlands Dance
Camp, April 29 - May 3 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!!! |
The Hikers of Universal Peace (HUPers) will reunite, potluck dinners will be cooked, sing-alongs may happen, and a good time will be had by all!
Through April 19, the fee is $60-100, as you can afford; after April 19, it is a minimum of $80. Make check payable to “Sky Roshay” with “Canyonlands” noted on the check. Send it to Sky Roshay, PO Box 90791, White Mountain Lake AZ 85912. If you have questions, contact Sky at skyness54(at)gmail.com or 928-537-0126.
The Welcome Information document will be available soon - it includes directions, a schedule, things to bring, etc etc. Remember that desert weather is variable.
About dogs: It is important to know that we can only accept about 5 (five) well-behaved dogs, for an extra fee of $10 per dog, and you must get approval from me. Young, large dogs are pretty much a "NO". Dogs that show up without prior approval will be charged the late registration fee of $80-100, if there is room for extra dogs. Dogs that cause problems will be asked to leave (probably with their owners, since I don't see how it could happen without them...). Some people want no dogs at this retreat at all, so this is my best attempt at a compromise. Please, dog lovers, understand and help me out with this or we'll have to go back to the No Dogs policy.

Summer Solstice Celebration ~ Prescott, AZ
with Zikr and Dances of Universal Peace
The Dervish Healing Order presents:
A Pilgrimage to Murshid SAM
Gathering our Spiritual Transmission: Magnetism and Healing
June 20-26, 2010
at Lama Foundation, north of Taos, New Mexico
This year’s retreat will focus on Murshid SAM’s transmission and how to
integrate and weave his teachings into daily life. We will listen for our
own Spiritual Transmissions and discover ways in which those too may become
an active part of our everyday life. We will also focus on Magnetism and
Healing: What it is, how to generate it, how to send it, how to use it to
purify and revivify, how to use it for cleansing.
In addition to opening these inner doorways, we will offer: processions to
the maqbara, stories about Murshid SAM, sohbet (spiritual discussion),
walks, homework-dreamwork, bedtime stories, dancing, zikr, choir, sufi
qigong, creative writing in the spirit, gemstone magnetism, magnetic humor,
tea service and our usual frolicking amongst the trees.

Invitation to the Dance
Beloved Hazrat Inayat Khan ~ Great Spirit Come
A beautiful tribute to Hazrat Inayat Khan, who brought Sufism to the west.
On this page you are listening to recordings from the Sedona Dances of Universal Peace. Leader: Cathryn Tezha Swann. The songs are:
The Mantra of Padmasambhava, Custom Zikr, and Allah Hu Allah.
The first song is a recording of a dance created by Bernie Heideman, based on the Mantra of Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava was the Buddhist saint to brought Buddhism from India to Tibet. It invokes the spiritual power of the Vajra Guru, the one who comes like a thunderbolt, to help us attain enlightenment. This is the Sanskrit version of the mantra.
Om ah hum, Vajra Guru padma siddhi hum.
There is also a Tibetan version of this mantra: Om a hung, Benza Guru peme siddhi hung.
Custom Zikr - I believe it was written by a student of Leilah Be. I learned it from Sky Majida at Canyonlands Dance Camp, September 2006, at the time the Invitation to the Dance documentary was filmed. The DVD ends with this song.
Allah Hu Allah - Allah is the name of God used by Arabic speaking people, both Christian and Muslim. It means both Yes (Al) and No (lah) so it is really like yin and yang, both masculine and feminine, all that is manifest and all that is unmanifest. Hu is said to be the breath of God. I understand this to mean that on the outbreath of God, physical manifestation happens in creation, and on the inbreath of God, that which has been physical returns to the God, to the unmanifest state.
