Spiritual Guidance and Dances of Universal Peace

Welcome

I am a dance leader and senior mentor in the lineage of the Dances of Universal Peace, and a spiritual guide (Murshid) in the stream of Universal Sufism through Sufi Ruhaniat International. 

A mother, dervish, and lover of the wild, I am a lifelong student of the mysteries of life. I walk a path of devotion, service, and awakening — deeply blessed and guided by my beloved teacher and friend, Pir Shabda Kahn.
My heart is nourished by the wisdom of many Tibetan Buddhist masters and dear Buddhist friends who continue to illuminate my way with compassion and insight. It is my deepest desire to embody and share the living Spirit through all that I do, and to kindle the flame of love and devotion in the hearts of those I meet. More about me here
