Abraham & Halima
DUPANZ Annual Retreat

We are excited that the way is clear for Abraham and Halima Sussman to return to Mana Retreat in January 2025...

They have travelled widely, nurturing communities and leadership in the dances around the world and see themselves as gardeners - invoking the wisdom within everybody.

"The Dances began as a tool to help us 'wake up'-this living transmission flows through us all. As we make music and move together, we embody the message of unity. "

"Imagine we are all plants in a greenhouse - "the whole point is for everyone to grow and flourish... not just the gardener!"

Group activation is a powerful tool to bring the teachings as we work towards cultivating harmony within ourselves, with each other and with the living presence of this land."

If you're not familiar with these beloved teachers, here's a link to a short video from their 'Eat, Dance and Pray' camp in Massachusetts USA.

Their long time love of the dances as powerful medicine, sparked by connection with Murshid SAM, is a gift to us all.

Here's a couple of quotes from beloveds who have been touched by their teachings:

" I'm really impressed with how Abraham and Halima have created and sustained a dance family which extends right round the world... and the quality of their mureeds, so many beautiful, vibrant teachers they have nurtured.

They are so inviting and giving to all . so much wisdom, so much experience . and they totally live what they teach and contribute so much.. They have a great love and respect for the natural world and the ancestors of the land and culture both home and abroad ..."

"Abraham and Halima cultivate community and support growing leaders in an organic, deep, beautiful way, from dancing, to leading, to mentoring ... life's journeying."

Nectar of Blessing
A Devotional Heart Opening winter Dance of Universal Peace weekend.

Blessing and joy are our birthright. They naturally arise when we praise the Beloved in awe, wonder and gratitude as we sing and dance the many Names for the Divine. Come, drink deeply from the Beloved's Well... as we join together in the co-creation of heart family to experience the joy of connectedness and a deep sense of community and intimacy.
