Introduction to The Turn with Hafizullah Chishti, Saturday, January 14th, 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM, in Dartmouth, MA.
This workshop introduces some aspects of the Turn and is intended for anyone who feels
called to a deeply embodied form of spiritual practice. The workshop stands by itself but is
also an introduction to a complete course of training in the Turn. The study materials will be
drawn from the teachings of Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, and The Turn taught from the
perspective of his approach to Sufism.
Registration and Tuition:
The cost of the workshop for first-time attendees is $95 ($175 for couples), and $75 for students, those under 30 and those 65 and over.
Tuition for those who are participating in the ongoing full training is $85, $65 for seniors and students, and $150 for couples.

Sacred Sound, Sacred Silence with Hafizullah Chishti, Sunday, January 15th, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM, in Cranston, RI.
"Since all things are made by the power of sound, of vibration, so everything
is made by a portion thereof, and one can create one's world by the same
power. Among all aspects of knowledge, the knowledge of sound is supreme,
for all aspects of knowledge depend upon the knowing of form - except
that of sound, which is beyond all form. ... If vibratory activity is properly
controlled, one may experience all life's joy and at the same time not be
enslaved by it."
- Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, The Music of Life: the Inner
Nature and Effects of Sound
In this workshop, we will explore practices of sound and how they can support our journey of
awakening. Participants will learn "harmonic singing" and its application to Sufi mantric practice (wazifa and zikr), how the right kind of music can be used in meditation and what kinds of music evoke recognition of the different Planes of Existence in our being.
No prior experience with sound practices is necessary, nor even to be a singer. All that is necessary
is a desire for self-discovery.
Tuition: $45, $30 for students, seniors, and the chronically impecunious. For further information or to register, call Sufi Order of Rhode Island at 401.781.9069 or via email at nab518#coxn
