Leader details:
Zikr means remembrance. This Sufi practice invites us to remember our original and underlying state of unity with All-That-Is. Using body prayers – simple, gentle yet powerful movements – combined with chanting in Arabic, most commonly the Zikr phrase La illaha illa’llah (which could be translated ‘the only reality is Unity’, or ‘there is nothing except the One’), we celebrate Unity. Moving, chanting and breathing in rhythm together we begin to harmonise ourselves as individuals and as a group. Our bodies and hearts can realign with the rhythm of our souls. The result can be wonderful: we may experience sensations of devotion, peace and joy, heart-opening connections with others and a sense of oneness with all-that-is.
The group is open to all open hearted spiritual seekers.
We start promptly every Tuesday evening at 7.30pm, and until we can meet again in person we will be meeting on Zoom. Please email me to find out the Zoom link, or you could sign up to my email mailing list to receive regular updates and reminders. https://mailchi.mp/23e2d0b4c247/jilanidancing
