Dear friends,
I sent this message out to the Murids discourse list around mid March. Seven people have responded so far. If you responded to that message, you don’t need to respond to this one.
You may recall that Pir Zia’s Nature Meditations guest on January 31 was healer Hakim Ilyas Kashani. Hakim Ilyas has a center called Hakim Wellness Academy and offers a variety of healing programs.
I understand from Hakim Ilyas that he would be willing to offer a custom-designed program for members of our community if there are at least 10 members interested. The program would be designed according to the needs of the participants so the details of the program would be developed by discussion between the group and Hakim Ilyas.
See below for a bio of Hakim Ilyas and a sample program from his website hakim wellness.org.
If you are interested in such a program and willing to explore it further with Hakim Ilyas, please contact me at sg@inayatiyya.org.
Blessings, Suhrawardi

Example program:
Spiritual Mentorship is a profound, heart-centered collaboration to support you in being truly authentic. It begins with a thorough evaluation of your life up to the present. A customized life-strategy is then formulated and initiated. You are guided through a systematic process that includes several core themes: releasing the toxic elements of your life, remembering who you really are, aligning with your true self, realizing your destiny and consecrating your life. The result is a blessed life, where you are empowered to consciously participate in grace wherever you are, whatever you are doing.
