Zikr-The Sufi Ceremony of the Remembrance of Divine Unity
There will be an open Zikr this Thursday. Open means anyone of any experience level is welcome. Zikr means the Sufi Ceremony of the Remembrance of God, a traditional ecstatic practice of the Sufis, as observed by the order of the Sufi Ruhaniat International. We will be singing very old sacred phrases in Arabic, some of which mean:
"We begin in the Name of Divine Unity"
"All of Reality is contained within Divine Unity"
"Divine Unity is constantly vibrating into all forms, in all times and places."
This practice is noted for producing good feeling. It was one of the central practices of the Persian poet Rumi, allowing him the Divine Expansion and Insight from which he wrote his poetry. Both beginners and those with experience gain enormous benefit. The Sufis frequently refer to Divine Unity as "The Friend." The Friend, who is always happy to see us and who we are always happy to be with. Come. . . make friends.
This event is free and open.
