Description
  • Will Noffke (1929-1997), a Bay Area public radio host in the 1970s and 1980s, was especially fond of Sufi music and dance. Within his archives is a small collection on Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (1896-1971), founder of the Dances of Universal Peace. Lewis studied Zen and Sufism but his dances were also based on folk dance and time spent with Ruth St. Denis in the 1930s. According to his biographies, While recovering from a heart attack in 1967, he was told in a dream to become a spiritual leader for the hippies. From then until his death he taught walking meditations and dance in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
