ZahirROrest

Zahir resides in Minneapolis.  He entered into the open spirituality of universal Sufi teachings with the Sufi Ruhaniat Order in the early 70s.  He is a senior teacher/guide (Shaiykh) in the Ruhaniat. His spiritual journey has led him to studies with teachers in several Sufi orders, Tibetan Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Judaism, Quakerism, Eastern Christianity, and Islam.  He teaches from his center Noor Saboor, offers workshops nationally, and is spiritual director of the Shining Heart Community's Ozark Sufi Camp.  He is a traveling teacher, a Dances of Universal Peace mentor/leader, and an ordained universal minister.  A talented musician, he offers many original Zikrs and Dances.

with

"Everything's Calling Us
Deeper Home" 
CarolynCahill

Our Dear Carolyn graced us with her eloquence Sunday as she spoke of journeying "deeper home."  She talked of the many  realities life brings today; she gave reminders about barriers that may block one from fully expressing soul; and she provided guidance for building a lighted house from where the soul dwells.  

"Living in the new paradigm within sacred community supports the evolution of humanity.  Everything is a part of one Universal Consciousness. 
We are all One."

Members' Corner
Masks
By Kids With Spirit

During the past year, KWS has been creating masks.  We talked about how the energies from animals can support our making helpful choices, coping with stressful situations, and getting through tough moments as well as to celebrate the joys life brings. 

   

To transform our faces, we enjoyed the art of paper mache. The following photos show moments of our process.  Enjoy!
