Drawing on decades of work in spiritual healing\, Dr. Jaffe will guide participants in understanding how challenging circumstances can affect the heart\, mind\, and spirit—and how spiritual practice can help us move beyond fear\, overwhelm\, and reactivity. Through teaching\, reflection\, and guided experiential practices\, participants will explore ways to deepen their connection to the Divine\, strengthen the heart\, and cultivate an inner refuge that remains available even when the outer world feels unsettled. This online workshop offers an opportunity to develop spiritual resilience not as a way of withdrawing from the realities of life\, but as a way of meeting them with greater presence\, wisdom\, courage\, and love. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Details \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n When: September 26th and 27th 10 am-4:30 pm Central Dr. Jaffe will join us Online via Zoom You may join us remotely or gather with community at the Sufi Center to watch the broadcast (address and logistics will be shared with you after registration.)  Suggested Cost One Day: Choice of Saturday or Sunday: $99 Full Weekend: $195 Pay from the heart.

When we humans yearn to re-balance our energy and our deeper spirit\, we can find sanctuary in the natural world\, but also in movement\, in silent contemplation. Or\, we can celebrate the Divine spark of sound. Using the gift of our own voice\, our physical presence and our breath\, we can rekindle the age- old traditions of prayer and chant. Sound has mysterious restorative qualities\, and we discover even more so\, when we participate in expressing sound ourselves. This expands when we join together in common with others. In sound\, we can draw closer to our Divine origins. Come and taste a special opportunity to shift your state through embodied prayer and chant. This weekly meeting offers practices that have a powerful capacity to move our energy. Both spoken Sufi chants and sung chants more widely from the Abrahamic tradition will be offered. Each meeting will consist of a teaching drawn from the writings from various Sufi masters and teachers\, including Sidi al Jamal and Hazrat Inayat Khan\, among others. There will be a time for brief individual sharing. Each class will focus on the hearts of its participants\, offering chants to strengthen their own spiritual journey. Group dhikr will complete the hour. You need not be a Sufi to join us. A heart-centered donation will be accepted but not required. \n \n \n \n Event DetailsWhen: Every other week (see Calendar) Thursday evenings 6:15pm – 7:15pm.Where: In person at Zahra Liz’s home If you would like to attend this event and do not know Zahra Liz and where her home is contact Habiba Laila by emailing administration@suficentermn.org. \n \n \n \n SPECIAL RAMADAN NOTESpecial Iftar dinners will be offered on:March 21st and April 4th.
