Thursday Evening - Esoteric Classes of the Sufi Order

7:00 pm  We all begin together with a 15 minute silent meditation in the Meditation Hall
7:15 pm  There are a number of classes held at this time.  For anyone coming for the first time
              you would participate in the Inquirers Class, a class that provides teachings, allows
              one to ask questions and engage in discussions on themes about Sufism.  This class
              is for all non-initiates of the Sufi Order.  It enables one to discover more of who we are and
              what Sufism is about.
              At this same time initiates within the Sufi Order can attend the Gatha Githa and Sangatha
              series of classes based on the study circle you are in. 

8:00 pm  Everyone is invited and returns to the Meditation Hall for the Sacred ceremony of Zikr.
              Zikr literally means "remembrance" and what are remembering is God.  This practice is the
              staple practice of Sufis all over the world.  Each week a different Zakir (one who leads Zikr)
              guides the group through repetition of the sacred phrases and names of God, so that we
              can return to the knowing within, the divine reality.  Sometimes there is music and each
              Zakir shares a unique attunement to this practice.
