Spiritual Liberty
A Six-Part Course w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan via Zoom
Sundays, October 8th to November 12th, 2:00 – 3:15 pm ET / 8:00 – 9:15 pm CET

Please note that Pir Zia’s Sunday class series begins at 2 pm ET/8 pm CET, an hour earlier than in previous years. Also, there is now an opportunity to join us at the Astana in Richmond, Virginia, as well as online via Zoom!

After a two-year hiatus, this fall we will return to the study of the Sufi Message Volumes of Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan. Spiritual Liberty, Volume V, of the Centennial Edition is almost ready from Suluk Press

Spiritual Liberty comprises several early works, including the only book of teachings ever written by Hazrat Inayat Khan, namely A Sufi Message of Spiritual Liberty, published in his first year in London, 1914. Also included are Aqibat: Life After Death; The Phenomenon of the Soul; Love, Human and Divine; Pearls from the Ocean Unseen; and Metaphysics.

From Pir Zia Inayat Khan’s introduction to the volume: “To read volume five is to be transported to the salon of the London khankah. Outside, air sirens shriek at intervals and the mood is bleak. Inside, however, an atmosphere of melody and luminosity is palpable. The inner world has a message for the outer world, but it is a message no ideology can express. Evocation is its allusive language.”

Pir Zia will teach on this material over six Sundays, both online via Zoom and live at the Astana in Richmond, Virginia. If you think that you would like to attend some sessions online and others in-person, we ask that you please register for the individual session(s) you intend to attend (e.g. Session I Only – Oct 8 [In-Person])instead of using the “Full Series” option. You can register for any remaining dates you wish to attend online using the “Donation Of Any Amount (Online – Includes Ticket)” option.


REGISTRATION DETAILS

General tuition is $48 ($8/class) for the six-part series. A reduced tuition price is also offered of $36 ($6 per class). Donations of any amount are also welcome, in lieu of tuition. 

As part of your registration, you will receive the course video which will be posted within 24 hours of each class via Dropbox. The course is designed to be attended in its entirety. If you begin with us after the course starts, video from past classes will be made available to you.
