Inayatiyya Jamiat Am Gathering 2024
Inayatiyya North America & Oceania
Jamiat Am Gathering 2024
Saturday, April 6th, 2024 via Zoom
5:00 – 8:00 pm EDT
Jacob Miraj Dominicus and Amida Cary, Vice-Presidents of the Inner School in North America and Oceania warmly invite members of the Jamiat Am to gather together again after several years.
We will attune together to the heart of the Message as expressed through Pir Zia’s current teachings and connect for discussion related to the teachings and how they are brought into the world at this time of change.
Part of the purpose of this meeting is to explore with this group what would make gathering as the Jamiat Am meaningful at this time and consider how best to support Inner School leaders.
This gathering will be held on Saturday, April 6th, from 5-8 pm ET, making it possible for leaders in Oceania to join us on Sunday their time. Please note that there is no tuition—this program is free.
The Jamiat Am Retreat requires advanced registration and provides video if you are unable to attend live. If you have questions about our gathering, please email Isa Sophia at innerschool@inayatiyya.org.
