    Zikr - Sufi practice of Remembrance in the Sanctuary

    Spiritual Chanting & Singing in the Universalist Sufi Tradition

    With Jessica & Akbar
    Monthly on Third Thursdays, 7:30 – 8:30pm EDT
    Zikr is the practice of remembering our true essence by chanting and repeating sacred phrases to dive into the ocean of oneness.  These phrases, passed down generation to generation, are sound codes for clearing, healing, and transforming the body, mind, and heart. We become better aligned with spirit and oneness through intention, connection, love, and grace. We will sing, pray, read poems, and chant together in a circle, connecting and remembering.

    Schedule:

    “Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.”

    Time of New Beginnings. This annual event helps us to let go of that which no longer serves us, to focus on our intentions to guide us through the coming year.
    BURNING BOWL – YOUR LETTING GO CEREMONY
    The Burning Bowl, is about burning away all the difficulties, pains, bad memories, losses and travails of our lives heretofore, so that the naivety of our inner child may be restored. As you go about your day consider what you may wish to release from your life. This can be anything that does not bring you joy! It can be personal or global. Any image or feeling that you are holding, keeps you attached to it. Release these as you go. You may wish to jot them down, like a grocery list. Those who attend in person will have the opportunity to burn these in a fire outside our center. Those on Zoom, will have the same opportunity, by burning, burying or flushing them away in their homes, whichever is easiest!
    FOCUSING -THE WHITE STONE CEREMONY
    With your White Stone in hand, we clear the path for a “word” to come forth to us from “Higher Power,” which may guide your path and intention throughout the coming year. This WORD you then will write on your stone. These sacred stones will be passed out to those attending during the service. For those of you on Zoom, we ask you to find a white stone of your own, one that holds some resonance for you. During Meditation you will connect with your stone until a word for your intention for the year comes to you and you will write it on your stone.

    In person at Rising Tide, 5102 Swift Rd. Sarasota, FL  

    ZOOM INFO:  TBA in newsletter or contact Zan

    www.risingtideinternational.org. For info Rev.  Zan, 941-922-7839 

    This egalitarian service celebrates all of humanity’s religions.
