THE INNER PILGRIMAGE
Pir Zia Inayat Khan will welcome his guest Cheikha Fawzia Al-Rawi for a special weekend on Saturday, September 19th, and Sunday, September 20th, at Fazal Manzil in Suresnes, France, with online participation also available.
Set in the historical “House of Blessings” this gathering invites us into a space of deep presence, sacred music, and shared spiritual practices.
Pir Zia Inayat Khan and Cheikha Fawzia Al-Rawi, drawing inspiration from Khwaja Abdullah Ansari’s work on the spiritual stations (maqamat), will explore the theme of roots during this seminar. “Indeed, it is essential to have a firm footing on the path. The pilgrim’s feet must be like the roots of trees planted deep within reality. Walking whilst remaining rooted is a paradoxical imperative. The essential elements are fulfilment, aspiration, determination, willpower, courtesy, certainty, intimacy, remembrance, poverty, wealth and being loved.” (Pir Zia Inayat Khan)
This event will be held in English, with live interpretation available in French and German.
Both the video and the audio will be made available afterward, so you can experience the seminar at any time.
