Zikr - Spiritual Chanting & Singing in the Universalist Sufi Tradition With Jessica & Akbar
2024-10-17 19:30 - 20:30, 2024-11-21 19:30 - 20:30
Spiritual Chanting & Singing in the Universalist Sufi Tradition
With Jessica & Akbar
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.

Third Thursdays, 7:30-8:30pm

Fall Schedule:
Sept 5th, 12th, & 19th, then continuing again on October 24th.
One definition of meditation is the ability to modulate the frequencies of consciousness. We’ll begin with some guided practices to help settle and ground into the body, heart, breath, and moment. We will set intentions to bring into the silence, where, in that inner space, we encounter the wellspring of possibilities. We will cultivate the experience of meditation, stillness, and ease. In these meditations you can sit or lay down. Open to all levels.

Making Friends with Life, 1-Day Retreat with Pir Shabda Kahn
2024-10-26 09:30 - 21:00
Making Friends with Life
Manifesting Loving Kindness and Compassion
Pir Shabda Kahn
supported by Maitreya Jon Stevens
1-Day Retreat Saturday, October 26th, 9:30am-9:30pm
Everning Dances, 7:30pm-9:30pm (Open to the Public)
Group Middle Eastern Lunch & Thai Dinner (Not included)
Another name for this Realization is Perfect Relaxation. All problems are of a tense nature. So anything that arises in life which disturbs our Peace has come as our Teacher saying until you learn to have Peace in this situation you have further to Journey to Awaken. We will practice “Making Life the Teacher”.
Further, if we reflect deeply, nearly all the problems of the day are caused by our disturbing emotions; fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, pride and so on. Naturally then, Loving Kindness and Compassion are the antipode for the world’s problems. We will work on nurturing Loving Kindness and Compassion toward self and other.
Our retreat will include Dances of Universal Peace, breath, sound and meditation along with dialogue to help us in our service to support all beings in all realms, including our selves, to awaken.
Schedule:
8:30am – Coffee & registration

Dances of Universal Peace Evening with Shabda Kahn & Maitreya
2024-10-26 19:30 - 21:30
The evening Dances of Universal Peace is OPEN to all!
If you haven’t attended the 1-day retreat the cost is: $20
The Dances of Universal Peace are a participatory group spiritual practice facilitated by a Dance Leader. The Leader teaches the group the sacred phrase, music, and movements, and after a short practice, participants enter the Dance with live music and/or singing accompaniment. This “spiritual practice in motion” brings participants directly in contact with the depth of the sacred phrase, encouraging a direct encounter with the truth of it through music and evocative movement. The Dances affirm Life and Truth with body, heart, and soul, opening participants to nonverbal experiences of unity and ecstasy. This taste of our true nature—Universal Peace—opens us to the possibility of a deep spiritual transformation.
Shabda Kahn is the Spiritual Guide of the Dances of Universal Peace worldwide and the Pir (Spiritual Director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, the lineage tracing from Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis. Shabda leads retreats and camps in Sufism with an emphasis on the mysticism of breath; the science and art of wazifa and zikr; music; the walking meditations of Murshid Samuel Lewis and opening the heart.
