The Many Ways of Praise
The Many Ways of Praise
A Sufi Retreat in Katwijk w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan
August 24th – 25th, 2024
“Our soul is blessed with the impression of the glory of God whenever we praise” God. —Hazrat Inayat Khan
Every religion has its method of prayer. In fact, not only humans pray: every creature—from angel to oak tree—has its way of praise and remembrance. As human beings we are combinations of soul, mind, and body. Each of these facets of human existence has its own way of exalting the Name of the One. What is the prayer of your luminous and immortal spirit? What is the prayer of your imaginative psyche? What kind of prayer thrums in the marrow of your bones? In this weekend retreat, we will delve into the various pathways of worship and in this way rededicate ourselves to the purpose for which we were born.
For details, please reach out to our local host, the Inayatiyya Centre Lightsong.
