The Music of Life with Pir Shabda Kahn
Thu - Sun, June 21 - 24 2007
Friends Meeting House, Durham NC
with a Sunday morning circle open to non-retreatants!
Presented by Rose Heart Sufi Community

"Music is the art of arts, the science of all sciences, and it contains the fountain of all knowledge within itself. Music stands before the soul without producing any impression of this objective world in either name or form, thus preparing the soul to realize the infinite." from The Mysticism of Sound by Hazrat Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan
 
"The Music of Life" Sufi Retreat: Join master musician and Sufi Pir, Shabda Kahn, for a powerful journey into the Music of Life. Beginning Thursday morning, we'll spend three full days exploring and deepening in the Dances of Universal Peace, Spiritual Walks, Raga singing, Sufi practices and teachings, meditation, Zikr ("remembrance of God"), and Sufi Sesshin. Sunday morning we'll join with the greater community for a public gathering with Dances, Walks, Zikr, and other delights.
 
Due to the retreat nature of this event, please plan to attend all sessions from Thursday morning through Saturday evening. No drop-ins by request of our teacher
 
Sunday Morning Public Gathering with Pir Shabda, June 24, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM. Come One, Come All! $10 for non-retreatants; free for retreatants. Triangle Dance Studio, 2603 S. Miami Blvd, Durham NC (Sunday only)
 
Pir Shabda Kahn has been a disciple of Sufism since 1969. He is a direct disciple of Murshid Samuel Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti) and worked closely with the great American Mystic Joe Miller. Shabda is currently Pir (Spiritual Director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International and Director of the Chisti Sabri School of Music. He is also a disciple of the illustrious Tibetan Buddhist Master, the 12the Tai Situpa Rinpoche. Starting in 1972, he spent 24 years developing as a vocalist under the living guidance of the late Pandit Pran Nath, the Master North Indian Classical Vocalist, who planted the 800 year old oral transmission of Chisti Sufi Vocal Music in the Western world. Shabda is one of a handful of Americans who have dedicated themselves to carrying on the legacy of the treasure of North Indian Classical Vocal Music. Shabda travels throughout the world spreading the Sufi Message of Love, Harmony and Beauty. He brings warmth, humor, and clarity in helping seekers on their Path to Awakening.
