Beloved Friends,
I reckon a lot of us continue to be challenged to seek our own equanimity, make sense of our surroundings, and look for useful ways to help heal the world. Perhaps tuning in for prayers, music, and the co-creation of sacred space can help you feel encouraged, supported, loved, inspired, validated and blessed in your efforts. Helps me. It is a great joy to see your beautiful faces, share prayer practices and music to nourish the soul. You are warmly welcomed to all the following circles:
EVERY SINGLE DAY – 15 minutes of Sufi prayers – 12 PM Mountain time (6 PM UTC) – Zoom, Zoom! https://zoom.us/j/505295922 –
Note: I’m aiming to continue this daily practice through the end of June. Mirabai and Majnun will be leading the practices June 3 to 7 while I’m out of town. You lucky people! Same link! Enjoy!
EVERY MONDAY MORNING – Sufi Meditation via Zoom (and I hope to welcome you into my home again soon…stay tuned!) – 9:30 AM Mountain (3:30 PM UTC) – https://zoom.us/j/505295922
NOTE: We have three weeks left to wrap up the 99 Beautiful Names of Allah! June 29th we’ll begin all over again with some new prayers. Jump in anytime!
NEW SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!! – “Unveiling the Beloved” – Friday, June 12th – 10 AM Mountain (4 PM UTC) – Khabir Christian Mayer Glauninger and I will be co-leading a sweet 2 hour Zoom of Sufi Zikr, stories, practices, music, wazifa, meditation… – We know that The Divine presence is in all things and all beings…but how do we look past the facade to the Real? How can we recognize The Holy One in the tricky disguises of our lives? Join us in this heartfelt inquiry! – Zoom, darlings! https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87821518490
