Hanging out in California with the SUFIS!!! All the goofy SOOFEES!!
Please have a safe snowy time in Colorado this week… I’ll be in the California sunshine eating avocados and drinking coffee.

MEDITATION at my house… MONDAY, November 13th – 9:30 AM – come on over. Coffee will be available for you, if you want it. 2727 Alan St, Fort Collins. Sufi stuff.

Nyland Dance of Universal Peace (last one) – Thursday, November 16th – 7 PM – 3525 Nyland Way, Lafayette – $10 suggested donation – I’ll be happy to be with you in this sweet space one more time. Thank you Baraka and Ann for hosting us! And thank you, Waduda for bringing your Sufi class to join us! What a treat! Maybe you’ll lead a dance or two?

ZIKR!!! – Saturday November 18th – 7 PM at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver (1939 S Monroe St) – Oh, it’ll be so lovely! Rowing the Zikr boat! Back in the home ocean with all of you beloveds! This month, after we’ve done all our singing and moving and groovin’ (as we do), we’ll keep our seated treat circle in the Zikr hall so we can continue our conversation time in the yummy vibe of the Zikr… the idea is to take advantage of our beautiful monthly opportunity to have deeper, richer, more nourishing, spiritual, enlivening, meaningful, heartful conversations… let’s do it! If two or three of you, dear friends, would like to help us hold and facilitate this space more actively, I’d love to have some support with this. Let me know.
