Email northeastsufis@gmail.com to inquire about joining our ongoing weekly practice.
Practice is free, but there are costs associated with gathering our beloved community, including such practical considerations as digital platforms: Zoom costs, faculty support, and more.

New Years Sufi Sesshin – Return to the Land of Your Soul
w/ Murshids Abraham & Halima
Abode of the Message, New Lebanon, NY
We come together in the warmth of Sangha to tune ourselves inwardly, to what is arising and what has been. Cultivating strength, resilience, equanimity, and compassion, we share practices of Meditation, Dances and Walks of Universal Peace, Zikr, Sohbet, and Sufi Sesshin. Our time together becomes an invitation to relax, nourish, and cultivate presence.
“The Dances of Universal Peace and Zikr are an excellent way to prepare for meditation and meditation is an excellent way to prepare for the Dances of Universal Peace and Zika.” Murshid Samuel Lewis
Sufi Sesshin combines the power and heart opening resonance of Zikr and DUPeace with the profound calm and abiding insight of the meditative state. It is our experience that this integrative approach moves us toward a grounded balance of Insight, and awareness.

One World – One Heart
With Halima & Abraham Sussman
Singing and moving together ‘Towards the One’, we practice breath, rhythm, sound, listening, and heart awakening. Dancing our prayers, we celebrate the Sacred.
The Dances began as a tool to help us ‘wake up’—this living transmission flows through us all. As we make music and move together, we embody the message of unity.
The retreat will be held: https://manaretreat.com
Murshid Abraham and Murshida Halima Sussman tap a depth that arises from a lifetime of spiritual practice, music, and a love of the natural world. They are senior mentor teachers in the Dances of Universal Peace and Sufi Ruhaniat lineages and share the Dances and teachings around the world, and at home in Massachusetts USA. Dancing with Murshid SAM has inspired their life together on the path of the awakening heart.
