I am a seeker on the path of the heart, a dance leader and a mentor of Dances of Universal Peace, a Sheikha (teacher) in Sufi Ruhaniat International and a student of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Estonia, I now live as a global nomad, sharing dances and the message of Universal Sufism worldwide.

Having been brought up and immersed in the Dance and Sufi family in Germany since birth, Alina now walks the path of a Dance Leader and a Sufi Mureed (student), following her own inner search for authenticity and meaning since her teen years.

Matthew has organised and taught Dances of Universal Peace since 2009. He runs a monthly group in Bristol and has taught at dance camps in the UK, France and Latvia.
