The Alchemy
Heart
an evening of Sufi poetry, music, and practice
(not to mention really GREAT chai...)

Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Travelers, 501 E Pine St,
Seattle

8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Come out from the circle of time
and into the circle of Love.

if you want a secret eye,
just shut your eyes.

if you desire an embrace,
just open your arms.		 if you crave a living face,
smash the stone face.

taste a sweetness in your mouth
that was before honey or bee.

look! here’s a bargain:
give one life, and take a thousand!
—Rumi

The path of the Sufi is the path of the heart. The spiritual heart encompasses not only that of us which is divine, transcendent, and ecstatic, but also that of us which is wounded and which longs for and struggles toward wholeness, drawn towards Infinity by the Infinity within each of us.

Join us for an evening of the poetry of Rumi and other Sufi masters, heart-music, and spiritual practice from the Sufi tradition.

With Hafizullah Chishti & Friends

Donation requested.




Daily Life
As
Spiritual Practice
Or: “What To Do While You’re Here”

a seminar with
Hafizullah Chishti

Many of us hold our spiritual path as a deeply-important part of our lives, but find it difficult or impossible to give the time we would like to periods of meditation or spiritual retreat. Perhaps we find it difficult to carry the state we reach in our personal meditation into our daily life, or we may find “life in the world” painfully dense and abrasive.

This seminar offers a grab-bag of tips, tricks, tools, and perspectives that will help you to hold a high state in the midst of the daily grind while maintaining poise and balance, and to work toward making “the Embodiment of the Master” a manifest reality in life. Most of this will work inside of any spiritual tradition or none-in-particular. Participants are invited to bring a notebook.

 Hafizullah has walked, stumbled, crawled, and danced the Sufi path for 32 years. He is a shaikh (senior teacher and lineage-holder) in the Sufi Order International and an ordained interfaith minister. He has a particular interest in the interface between psychology and spirituality, and how daily life can be both a support for and a deep expression of our spiritual transformation. He believes that developing a spiritual basis for one’s life is the most pragmatic and practical approach to living with authenticity, inner freedom, and dignity in today’s world.
