Theme: HEART MEDITATION—GATEWAY TO THE INVISIBLE WORLD. When awakened, the interior world serves as the solid and unswerving foundation to experience life from a dimension of abundance rather than of scarcity. This is the dimension that has been alluded to as the “Promised Land” and the “Heavenly Kingdom”. Living life from the heart allows us to let go of our base instincts and experience our divine reality. Through sacred chants and watchfulness of the breath, we are invited to enter the heart.

Leader: Avideh Shashaani is a poet with a Ph.D. in Sufi studies who has taught Sufi meditation since 1983. She is the founder and president of the Fund for the Future of our Children, a nonprofit that supports young people to be agents of peace in local and global environments.
