In the Caravan of Rumi:

An Introduction to Sufi Poetry and Practices

caravanserai

Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving...

 

Greetings, Caravan Friends!     

 

Come gather in the yurt at Miriam's Well on (mostly) 4th Thursdays  for a monthly evening of the Sufi practices that inspired Hafez and Rumi, generously interspersed with poetry from these and other Sufi masters.

 

Come ready to move, as we experience  body prayers, astrological walks, and  the Dances of Universal Peace inspired by the Sufi lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis.
 
Come ready to chant as we do mantric practices from amongst the 99 "Most Beautiful" Names of God together.

 Come ready to breathe deeply as we  connect with Source in the silent zhikr (remembrance)meditations of the dervishes.
  
Come ready to read your favorite Rumi and Hafiz poems and to discuss some of the issues surrounding  Sufi teachings and their relationship to Islam.

 Depending on participant interest we may even practice beginning elements of the turn, the whirling practice of the Sufis and their Central Asian shaman predecessors.

I hope you'll join me for these evenings of fellowship and spiritual practice.

Yours in the Dance of the Cosmos,

Karuna Teresa Foudriat

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Even though you've broken your vows a thousand times,

Come, come again....
