Dear Friends, I wonder if all the world’s problems just might be solved by uplifting the Divine Mother, and including the Goddess, the priestesses, in all the religious and spiritual traditions.

Imagine! In this season, I’m worshipping Isis, Mary, Shekinah, Belit Mati Malkatu! And…the calendar for these coming few weeks is unusual.

Sufi 101
Dear Friends,
You know, this whole “Sufi” thing is a little hard to grok. I found my way to it through the Dances, and eventually became more dedicated to the actual teachings, practices, and lineage. I’ve been meandering along the Sufi path for 31 years now (informally), and with more explicit engagement for 21 years (as a mureed). It is a continual, life-long path of learning, practice, and discovery.
For me, it works very nicely and harmoniously with my Pagan tendencies, Nature and the Goddess at the center.
For many others, it works nicely and harmoniously with Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and even Atheism.
Every so often it occurs to me that a beginner level Sufi class could be useful. Want it? Curious? Interested? Raring to go?
Let’s do it!
Here’s the idea:
A monthly Sufi class focused on the basics, the central Sufi thoughts, traditions, teachings, practices, and purpose.
Thids class will be open for all levels of experience.
It’ll be open on a drop-in basis for the first few months.
I might choose to close it into a more focused group if that feels supportive for individuals who want to settle more fully into study and practice.
If you choose to join this class, please arrive on time, and plan to be fully attentive, engaged, camera on, and participating.
There is no fee for this class, but if you appreciate it and find it useful, I invite you to send monetary gratitude through Venmo or Paypal: rain@trigoddess.org
TIMING:
2nd Friday mornings of each month starting…
December 13th
(Yep, Friday the 13th! It’s an auspicious, beautiful, magical time! Look it up if you’re curious.)
10 a.m. Mountain (5 p.m. UTC)
I think this will be a 75 minute zoom with a little wiggle room if we need to go a few minutes longer.
WHERE:
We’ll use the usual Sirat-i Inayat Zoom
The teachings and practices will primarily focus on the Sufi Message as offered by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan. I will do my best to answer questions, and explain things clearly and thoroughly.
I don’t know yet whether these will be recorded and made available beyond the meeting time. We shall see.
If you have questions before the 13th, feel free to be in touch.
All Blessings,
Sára

White Sky Water
Dear Community, This precious, beautiful life! What a blessing and a privilege to be conscious, breathing the shining atmosphere of this moment with all of you! Gratitude and awe. Those are the only reasonable attitudes in response to this miraculous existence. Prayer, song, and keen awareness are the natural expression if we’re really tuning into the moment. I’ve had a few interactions with friends this week that include someone asking me, “what is zikr?” Here’s what I have to say about that right now: “Zikr” is a prayer of “remembrance.” It is a spiritual practice that tries to turn our awareness and our felt experience away from confusion toward The Real. While “Zikr” as a spiritual activity can take many forms, the essence of it, the purpose and intention is to forget the limitations of “self,” forget the distractions of the temporary world, and remember, remember, remember the All-Pervading Divinity that is the Truth of our being. Now…that said…what does it look like and what do we DO for a Zikr evening at Sára’s house? It’s a lot of music…chanting usually in Arabic…recitations of phrases and attributes of God, Allah, The One…An opening Invocation, prayer, and breath to set the tone…all told about two hours of practice. Everyone is welcome to join me…I do my best to explain things and help it feel accessible for folks…and I also do my best to just dive into the Zikr practice in the ways that nourish my own heart and soul. We will be seated for the evening Zikr. If you’d like to join me, please come with the intention to participate fully, sing along, say the prayers…be open to the experience and see what happens. Saturday, November 9th – Zikr at Sára’s house (Fort Collins) – or Zoom Here! – 7 p.m. Mountain Standard (2 a.m. Sunday UTC) – RSVP if you’re coming over.
