Dear Friends,
There are many opportunities to be with Pir Zia this Spring, both in person and online!
Spring Retreat - Cosmic Celebration w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan
April 6th - 10th, 2023 - Gersfeld, Germany & on Zoom
In this spring retreat, we will return to the music and sacred vision of the Cosmic Celebration, approaching the pageant this time as an interior experience of illumination. Through contemplation, meditation, prayer, and music we will make our way through the successive transformative stations of the immanence of the glory of the One, the renewal of faith, the descent of the Holy Spirit, Divine aid, communion with life’s essence, and the promise of the heart’s resurrection. Registration and more details can be found here.

The Sufi Path of Immortality; Dying Before Death & Living in God w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan
Sunday, June 25 to Friday, June 30, 2023 - The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
Our physical existence is a transitory interval between the preexistence of the soul and the looming hereafter. For a person of foresight, it is never too soon to step into the worlds that lie beyond. These invisible worlds are the hidden dimensions of what is already before us here and now. Each step takes the soul further on the path of awakening and closer to the Eternal Beloved. Join us at the beautiful Omega Institute, in Rhinebeck, NY for this very special 5 day, in person only retreat with Pir Zia. Registration and more details can be found here.
Hope to see you at one, or many, of these events this spring!
