“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 an online course of the Inner School (aka Esoteric school) of the Inayatiyya Leaders Training Module on Contemplation. This course is a comprehensive and deep training in the meditation practices taught by the Inayati Order. Contemplation is the second 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.
The presenters for this course are two senior teachers of the Inner School, Yaqin Aubert and Naima Brown. During the two days Yaqin and Naima will guide participants through the foundational practices of Contemplation in a sacred atmosphere. There will be opportunities to ask questions, share experiences and engage in an online community of friendship. Participants will receive a manual of the contemplation practices which are covered in the course.
Completion of the Leaders Training Modules are a requirement for appointment as a Representative. Representatives in training in the Inner school of the Inayatiyya 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 and Coordinators are also invited to take this course for ongoing enrichment or as a refresher.
The course is also open to Murids who have studied for sometime and are recommended by their guide to participate, who seek a comprehensive overview of our foundational practices in Contemplation.
