Sacred words, music and silence are important to many people.
In these sessions we will be singing sacred words while moving to the music, interspersed with sitting silently in meditation.
It was said by the American Sufi master, Samuel L Lewis, that spiritual dancing is a good preparation for silent meditation, and meditation is a good way to prepare for spiritual expression through dance.
Each session, beginning with simple healing breaths, will focus on a particular phase of our journey, supported by other spiritual practices and teachings from the SRI tradition. Music will be provided by Clare (clarinet) and Gavin (guitar).
We will close each evening with a short Sufi prayer followed by sharing tea and light refreshments together.
A minimum number of participants is required at each session, so please contact Fateah by midnight on the Monday beforehand if you wish to come that week. Fewer than 8 people will result in cancellation that Tuesday.
