    The Divine Quality of Strength

    Sufis have been exploring subtle centers of consciousness and divine qualities for hundreds of years. These centers are called latifas (lataif is the plural). Awakening these centers is a central means to realizing oneself as a complete human being (insan al kamil).

    Narayan will be exploring the Lataif with a series of monthly classes on Sunday afternoons (to be announced each month).

    The first latifa to be explored will be the red latifa which embodies the divine quality of strength.

    The class cost will be $10 – $20 sliding scale.
