Why not become fresh
from the gentleness of the heart-spring?
Why not laugh like a rose?
Why not spread perfume?
- Sufi Poet, Rumi
How can we tap into this sweetness Rumi talks about?
How can we transform our heart's pain of emptiness,
loneliness and hopelessness into something that beautiful?
Fortunately, the Sufis provide an answer:
by washing it with the water of the Truth.
The ancient mystic Sufis are masters of healing the heart, at guiding it
to return to its original pure state of love and aliveness. Today's
Sufis utilize this healing method, facilitating others to live with an
open heart and receive all the joy and richness life has for them. This
healing technique is gentle yet powerful, bringing the light of the
Divine to the places in the heart that are wounded, broken, and
forgotten. As this happens, the pain from the past is washed away. As a
result, we regain the beauty, gentleness and laughter of our child's heart.
Imagine living life with a heart as pure as your own heart at age three
or four. Just for a moment, imagine how full of awe, wonder and joy your
life would be if your heart were pure. Well, that vision is possible.
And it's available to you now, and it's free! Come taste the deep love
at a Free Sufi Healing Clinic in your area. (see below for details).
This ancient healing method comes to us from Shaykh Muhammad Sa'id
al-Jamal ar-Rifa'i as-Shadhuli, affectionately known as Sidi, Head of
the Higher Sufi Council in the Holy Land and Teacher at the Dome of the
Rock in Jerusalem. Sidi has devoted his life to the spiritual well being
of all people and to the deepening of their level of unity with God. He
works to help the poor, the suffering, and the sick. We here in America
are poor in the deep teachings of the heart. We are thirsty for the
water of the Truth; we are hungry for the real Love.
If you find heart resonating with these words of hope, please join us to
experience what the ancient Sufis were dancing about: the ecstatic state
of unity, that is available to anyone who has a pure heart.

RUMI NIGHT
A night to explore the poetry & writings of
13th century Sufi poet & mystic Rumi.
We will read his works and open the doors to the realms of
expansiveness, mystery and union with God, the he experienced.
WHERE EVERYTHING IS MUSIC
Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn't matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flutes notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world's harp
should burn up, there would still be
hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out.
WE have a piece of flint, and a spark.
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive
from a slow and powerful root
the we can't see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out.
