“The purpose of concentration, contemplation, meditation, all that is the essence of religion or mysticism or philosophy, is nothing but this one thing: to attain to that depth which is the root of our life.” - Hazrat inayat Khan
We invite you to a weekend online course of the Inayati Order Leaders Training Module on Meditation. This course is a comprehensive and deep training in the meditation practices taught by the Inayati Order. Meditation is the third stage in the stages of unfoldment of Concentration, Contemplation, Meditation, and Realization, as described by Hazrat Inayat Khan, invaluable material for teaching classes and guiding Murids.
Completion of the Leaders Training Modules are a requirement for appointment as a Representative. Representatives in training in the Inayati Order Esoteric School Leadership Training program will need to have completed this course during or before their training; existing Coordinators and Coordinators in training are also encouraged to take this course. Existing Representatives are also invited to take this course for ongoing enrichment. It covers material that may not have been available in the past.
The course is also open to those in leadership roles, or training for leadership roles, in the other 5 activities of the Inayati Order, or in leadership roles in one of the member organizations of the Federation of the Sufi Message.
This course is guided by two senior teachers of the Inayati Order, Kainat Felicia Norton and Naima Khabira Brown.
