There is a hidden treasure waiting to be revealed through our contemplation of the Divine Names. Once awakened it enriches our understanding and inspiration allowing us to fulfill our purpose, cultivate our relationships in life, and our contribution to the world.
We will explore several of the Divine names of the One Being through the lens of meditation and wisdom teachings. Using practices of breath, sacred sound, and a variety of meditative methods we will go deeply into each beautiful quality. We will reflect on effects of the Divine Names on our unfoldment, issues in life and spiritual growth.

Ongoing Gatha Classes
with Rahmana Santorelli
The 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month
at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (North America)
The Gathas were originally oral lectures that Hazrat Inayat Khan gave to his murids in the early 1920s. They contain foundational teachings that cover several topics. These lectures offer us the opportunity to consider, and live life, with an open mind and a compassionate heart. Meeting with others as a community, allows us to gain insight into Murshid’s wisdom and sense his presence. We will partake in meditative practices of the Inayatiyya as a way of making Murshid's profound teachings relevant to us on our journey. There will be an opportunity to share heart-felt reflections in the form of sohbet.

The Githas
with Aqil Brown
1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, 7:00 - 8:00 PM Eastern Time (North America)
Feb. 3rd and 17th, Mar. 3rd and 17th, Apr. 7th and 21st, 2026
The Githa papers are a course of study given by Hazrat Inayat Khan for the murid who is ready to prepare for the realization of the soul. The murid, having awakened, now journeys into that vision of a new world of spirit. The task before the murid is to develop an intuitive and natural awareness of the expansive levels on which the soul experiences life. The mind and emotions are attuned to allow the finer vibrations to be felt. The cause and effect of impressions and intentions are watched. The inner and outer life are brought into harmony. One's motivation is sought out at its roots. One's purpose is found in the re-homing of the soul in this life and in preparing it for the next.
