Dhikr (Sufi Healing Circle)

Sufi Healing Circle, called dhikr, or remembrance, is the principal Sufi practice, in which we invoke the essential Divine light, filling our hearts with healing light and love.  Our dhikr evenings generally include a question-and-answer time, a teaching and/or reading from Sidi’s books, chanting al-Wird (a series of four chants) together, and a standing circle dhikr.  On Sundays at the Farm of Peace, there is a pot-luck dinner following dhikr.  Everyone is welcome, there is no charge.  See the calendar listing at right for times and directions.
