WEEKEND WITH PIR ZIA INAYAT-KHAN, HEAD OF SUFI ORDER, AT RTI

Saturday & Sunday, Nov 14 & 15, 9:30am -5pm - Know Thyself: An Exploration of the Within

Within us lies an infallible sense of guidance that leads us to happiness, & that may be called Divine in its truest meaning. Our difficulty lies in turning away from the distractions & the noise of the external world so that we can learn to recognize that voice. Pir Zia Inayat Khan will guide participants on this journey with stories, sacred sound & breath practices, contemplative perspectives & meditative practices. This weekend will provide an opportunity to explore the inner life & immerse oneself in the sacred.

PIR ZIA INAYAT-KHAN, Head of the Sufi Order, is a scholar and teacher of Universal Sufism in the lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan. He received his Ph.D. in Religion from Duke University. Pir Zia is president of the Sufi Order International and founder of Suluk Academy, a school of contemplative study with branches in the United States and Europe. Pir Zia exemplifies a new generation of spiritual teachers. He is keenly aware of the needs of the present day, of a world in crisis, & an emerging spirituality of the future, built upon the centuries-old tradition of the Sufi Masters. He is also founder of the inter-spiritual institute, Seven Pillars House of Wisdom. He lives with his wife and two children in rural upstate New York.  pirzia.org

Early Bird registration now open - $225 for entire weekend, 1 day - $125. To register:

DAVID GITTENS' VIDEO GIFT FOR THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX

Endearing thoughts as we enter autumn: May the seasonal changes of the autumn bring deepfelt peace and good heart to you. Wishing you a fruitful harvesting of much that you have worked towards, and a new cycle of awakening possibilities that is creatively inspiring and nurturing to the spirit. Our video for the season is about "Art in Heart" - a journey into the visions of peace and conciliation in the world from wise children in 1999, many of whom are now encouraging their kids to be peacemakers. Preview YouTube video, "Only Hearts - Reflections on a Vision" -

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX CELEBRATION AT LIDO

Friday, Sept 25, 7pm sharp at South Lido Beach - Gulf Side. Gong Meditation & Wishing Well Tree, with Carol Randaci & Hannah Remy. For women, Men & Teen Children, By donation.

The Fall Equinox signals the season of balance in a time to harvest, receiving all the bounty of the earth. It gives us an opportunity to reflect on our own Inner Harvest. How do we balance personal needs with commitments to the world? How do we receive and how do we share our bounty?  How do we release the things that no longer benefit our life?  How do we support the healing of humanity? The water? The animals?

You were asked to bring back containers from any body of water visited in your summer travels. Water gathered from sites across the country will be blessed and returned to the ocean in a sacred ceremony (which starts promptly at 7). Sounds of the Gongs and voices will be added to the atmosphere as prayers are offered for the benefit of all creatures, big and small.

Bring water you've collected, chairs, blankets, flashlights & your graceful intentions. Think about these 3 things as you'll be asked to write down your answers which will be hung on the Wishing Well Tree: The things you're grateful for in your life; The things you want to bring into your life; The things you want released from your life.
