We each shine our own light, each of us a ray of light which is connected ultimately with the One sun or source which gives us light and life. That ray of light can be seen as a symbol of the soul, each of our unique rays and the One Universal soul. We are each on a journey of the soul. Hazrat Inayat Khan speaks about 3 rays of light which relate to qualities of the master, saint and prophetess/prophet. We will explore these qualities and which resonate with each of us. In addition we will explore some Sophic whorl planetary teachings, expanding our hearts and minds to more fully perceive and understand ourselves and others. Practices include the stages of concentration, contemplation and meditation using Breath, Light, Divine Names, and Zikr.
Please join us for this next practice oriented series.

Ongoing Gatha Classes
with Rahmana Santorelli
The 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month
at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (North America)
Note: No classes will be held during June 2025
The Gathas were originally oral lectures that Hazrat Inayat Khan gave to his murids in the early 1920s. They contain foundational teachings that cover several topics. These lectures offer us the opportunity to consider, and live life, with an open mind and a compassionate heart. Meeting with others as a community, allows us to gain insight into Murshid’s wisdom and sense his presence. We will partake in meditative practices of the Inayatiyya as a way of making Murshid's profound teachings relevant to us on our journey. There will be an opportunity to share heart-felt reflections in the form of sohbet.

The Githas
with Aqil Brown
Every other Tuesday, 7:00 - 8:00 PM Eastern Time (North America)
Sep. 9th and 23rd, Oct. 7th and 21st, Nov. 4th and 18th, Dec. 2nd and 16th, 2025
The Githa papers are a course of study given by Hazrat Inayat Khan for the murid who is ready to prepare for the realization of the soul. The murid, having awakened, now journeys into that vision of a new world of spirit. The task before the murid is to develop an intuitive and natural awareness of the expansive levels on which the soul experiences life. The mind and emotions are attuned to allow the finer vibrations to be felt. The cause and effect of impressions and intentions are watched. The inner and outer life are brought into harmony. One's motivation is sought out at its roots. One's purpose is found in the re-homing of the soul in this life and in preparing it for the next.
