What to expect
Sufism is often said to be a flavour that can only be known by tasting it. These meditation sessions let you experience that flavour through the invocations practised in the Sufi path: the dhikr, literally ‘remembrance’.
The spiritual influx carried by these invocations purifies and illuminates the practitioner’s heart; the dhikr gradually sets the heart ablaze until nothing remains but divine oneness.
