Dear Friends,

Our Arizona Dances of Universal Peace and Sufi Circles are hosting two weekly zoom circles every week for now, Wednesday morning and evening. 

 We're all feeling grateful to see each other, to hear each other, and to practice together, for ourselves and for all beings.  

 The evening is with Rahmana offering zikr and practices, and Shivadam offering Medicine Buddha songs and practices.

Yaqin and Narayan offer Dances, practices and chant in the morning circle. plus 

please find an attached PDF document titled 
"Breath HIK & SAM"

preview or download document here

​
This is a compilation of wonderful quotes about the breath and breathing from Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis. There will be an opportunity in the second half of our 10am Arizona USA time (1700 GMT) Zoom meeting for you to share with all of us any one of these "breath jewels". One that really moves you.

​
 
We sing with movements, we chant, we use guided meditations for healing.  We say hello to each other and a brief time for comments at the end.  We mute all except the leader for various practices and songs, and unmute for a happy and somewhat cacophonous singing of Joe Miller’s "May All Beings".  Some are bringing their instruments and drumming and playing with us.
 
Warmest blessings for well-being and peace,
 
Yaqin, Narayan, Rahmana Gaile, Shivadam for the Arizona DUP community

Picture

Our Weekly Zikr is also on hold for the present time 


Usual schedule:
Thursdays at  
Barakat's home - 2375 Mendiburo Way - Prescott.   928-717-2017

Zikr means Remembrance and is a practice of chanting and singing sacred Arabic phrases, most notably
  •  La ilaha illallahu  - There is no God but God; there is nothing that exists in separation from God
  • Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim  - We call on God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, to be present; we lay claim to the vibration of God's Presence to manifest 
  • Ishq Allah Maboud Allah - God is Love, Lover & Beloved:  the quality of Love itself, the one who loves, the one who is loved  

Come let the rhythmical expression of your devotion lead you to the ecstasy of Oneness. 
La ilaha illallahu. 
All are invited to join  

For more information call Barakat: 928-717-2017.
