Come kindle the spark of Divine Light dancing in our souls, through zikr, turning, wazaif, walking in nature, dancing, singing,

and living in spiritual community.

Spiritual Directors Ananda Mariam Simmons and Wakil David Matthewswith Special Guest ~ Leilah BeTeaching StaffWali Ali Meyer • Khadija GoforthArifa Byron • Amira Sara Pelfrey • Asha LelaAslan Sattler • Bodhi Be • Kalama ReuterKhalil Elliott • Louise JacobusMaboud Swierkosz • Munir ReynoldsNur Ali Ried • Nurah Abigail ProutQuan Yin Williams • Saladin PelfreyTara Andrea Swierkosz • Tawwaba Bloch

All meditation and contemplation are taught with this purpose:

to harmonize one’s innermost being with God, so that God is seeing, hearing, thinking

through us and our being is a ray of God’s light. In that way we are even closer to God

than the fishes are to the ocean in which they have their being.

~Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is not by self-realization that humans realize God, it is by

God-realization that humans realize self.

~Hazrat Inayat Khan
