Gayan’s Inner Guidance Groups are communities of spiritual friendship and practice.  Gather with kindred seekers with a shared dedication to the inner life. Retreats provide companionship, training and support for your spiritual development. All are welcomed who feel resonance with the Sufism of Hazrat Inayat Khan, however this particular group is currently full.  If you would like to be added to the waiting list, contact Aziza

The group is oriented around the practice of contemplative inquiry, which is the great art of Listening inwardly—listening for guidance to the deepest questions of your heart, for understanding of your life, and discovery of your true self.

The Annual Spring Retreat follows a unique format with Taj and Gayan teaching and guiding throughout the retreat. This includes teaching sessions, small group inquiry, and periods of silence, meditation practice and Zikr – all interwoven with music, poetry, inspirational readings, and the spirit of the community. This sacred environment allows participants to explore the multi-faceted aspects of their being.

A One Day Sufi Meditation Instruction and Practice Day

“What does the soul’s awakening mean? The body’s awakening means to feel sensation; the mind’s awakening means to think and to feel; the soul’s awakening means that the soul becomes conscious of itself.” Hazrat Inayat Khan

A 5-day deep dive into the within.

This silent retreat, based on the path and practices given by Sufi Mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan, leads us to discover the hidden treasure of Infinite Being which is paradoxically nowhere else.  Retreatants will be guided in meditation, prayer, and the Sufi practice of Dhikr to awaken the Subtle Heart. There will be ample time on one’s own for personal inquiry and contemplation, as well as music meditations.
