Dear Dancers,
Friends, and Seekers on the Path,
Join us for the Annual Florida Dance Retreat, this year in Sarasota, 10 minutes from the beach, at Rising Tide.
We have a wonderful surprise: Pir Shabda Kahn, who danced with Murshid Samuel Lewis, the originator of the Dances of Universal Peace, and who travels around the world offering and teaching the Dances and the spiritual path, will join us for the Annual Retreat!
We hope you can be with us for three days full of Dances, Community, Zikr, Singing, and Spiritual Teachings.
Shabda brings his own background of deep musicianship, service to the Message of Unity, awakening, and the path of the heart, and his own beautiful presence to Florida for the first time in nearly a decade.
We hope you’ll join us for this community heart gathering and opportunity to dance and practice the path of the heart together with dancers, dance leaders from around Florida, incredibly skilled musicians, and dear friends both old and new.
Pir Shabda Sufi Workshop | Sarasota, FL | Rising Tide International

Shabda Kahn, a direct disciple of the American Sufi Master, Murshid Samuel Lewis, has been practicing Sufism since 1969 and since 2001, is the Pir (Spiritual Director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, the lineage tracing from Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis. He is also the Spiritual Guide of the Dances of Universal Peace~ worldwide. Shabda has studied and performed North Indian Classical Vocal Music under the guidance of the late Master Singer, Pandit Pran Nath, since 1972. He is also a disciple of the illustrious Tibetan Master, the 12th TaiSitu Rinpoche. The Sufi Message is pure Universal mysticism helping humanity find Limitless Freedom – Happiness, to awaken to our highest Purpose. Through the mysticism of breath, sound, music, dance and attitude, the teachings give us tools to navigate everyday life and make our lives beneficial and full of Joy.
