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.

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.
