Activities
Please check our Calendar of current activities. Below is a summary of some of the kinds of offerings we provide.
Mystical principles in modern life
This part of our work integrates insights from mystical traditions, especially Sufism, with knowledge from science and modern life. The approach is to clarify the central thread of wisdom, which is becoming more clear over time and experience, and to learn to apply it to everyday life. This helps to create a greater sense of tolerance and acceptance of others and their beliefs, and a feeling of connectedness with whatever one feels gives life its ultimate meaning. This is typically the focus of our classes.
Individual Spiritual Guidance
Henry offers spiritual guidance for those who wish to engage on the path of inner growth and development. Kathleen is not accepting additional people at this time.
Canandaigua Study Group
A lively and interesting gathering in a private home overlooking Canandaigua Lake, this is an opportunity to share a potluck meal and engage in spiritual study and discussion. This is an open group available in person and on Zoom. We meet the first Tuesday of each month, starting at 6 pm eastern time.
Dream Work
We have two Dream Classes that are currently closed, due to the highly personal material involved.
99 Names Study Group
This class focuses on The Physician of the Heart (Meyer, Hyde, Muqaddam and Kahn), exploring the Names of the Divine. Available on Zoom and in person.
Book Study
We are currently reading Care of the Soul, by Thomas Moore. Available in person and on Zoom. Subsequent books are planned.
The Journey of the Soul
This experience brings meaning to life by exploring a framework allowing for greater integration of seemingly different concepts and experiences related to the origin, direction and purpose of life. Offered on an occasional basis.
The Secrets of the Heart / The Heart of the Healer
Henry has edited two volumes of teachings from Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Pir Zia Inayat Khan on healing, through The Art of Healing Foundation and the Sufi Healing Order. He and Kathleen teach this material in seminar and workshop format. The books are available through sufihealingorder.org.
Radical Ecstasy
This participatory experience integrates sound, music and movement to open a pathway for spiritual experiences through joy. Offered on an occasional basis.
Mind-Body Workshops
We offer an educational program of up to 20-hours theoretical and experiential learning modules, covering the major principles of mind-body techniques, for use in everyday life. This program has been used in schools and other settings to support both the practitioner and the students or clients. A comprehensive program manual and certificate of completion are provided. Offered on an occasional basis.
