Minnesota Kirtan Gatherings - Chanting, Meditation & More

Zikr means the Sufi Ceremony of the Remembrance of God, a traditional ecstatic practice of the Sufis.
We are doing Zikr Allah mostly. This is what causes the drunkenness Rumi refers to so frequently.
Sometimes we do a bit of Kirtan, sometimes a bit of the Words of Jesus in Aramaic, sometimes other things.
God is One and can be approached from any direction.
No tightness, no dogma, no "you have to be a certain way."

The people come because it allows an emotional reset, a coming to essence, a true sharing with both Allah and your fellow singers.

It is a remedy for living in troubled times. We don't want to leave one another at the end.

There is an in-person meeting every Wednesday at 7:00 at the Light Upon Light Sufi Center. You can also attend by Zoom.
We read Rumi aloud in the breaks between singing. His poems speak of the states brought about by zikr, and of the Path of the Heart.

To attend: send an email to Hakim at johnhakim99@gmail.com and ask to be sent the link and address for the meeting.

Join our weekly Kirtan at the SoulBodyFinesse studio, located in the Northwind Lofts building in NE Mpls.
Sign-up via soulbodyfinesse.com !
The website is the only way to be aware of any potential cancellation.
Instructions for building-access are provided in the confirmation email.

If you enter through Door 8, the studio is on the right and up the stairs (unfortunately, the stairs are the only way to access the unit, so please be aware of this if stairs are a challenge). If you enter through the building's main entrance, follow the signage to find the studio.

Songsheets are available, and there are yoga mats and cushions/bolsters available if you do not wish to bring your own.

Also, feel free to make a day of it by registering for the "Sunday SoulCare" package, which includes this Kirtan gathering plus an all-levels yoga (asana) practice with an extended savasana/soundbath. There are also other Yoga and soundbath offerings on Sundays!

Join us for ecstatic Kirtan, ancient Vedic wisdom and a free vegetarian/vegan friendly feast.
