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 of the Inayatiyya’s Leaders Training Module on Meditation. This course is a comprehensive and deep training in the meditation practices taught by the Inner school. 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.
This course is guided by two senior teachers, Kainat Felicia Norton and Naima Khabira Brown. During the two days Kainat and Naima will guide participants through the foundational practices of meditation 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 Meditation 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 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. The course is also open to those in leadership roles, or training for leadership roles, in the other 7 activities of the Inayatiyya.
