Garden
of the SufisZikr
Zikr,
the Divine Ceremony of Remembrance plays a central role in the practice
of Tasawwuf, or Sufism. This ceremony takes on many forms. From silent
still mediation to whirling dances and transporting chants; from deep
quiet breathing exaltations to loud drum beats; the Zikr is an attempt
to connect and give thanks for that primordial Moment of creation. It
is a sacred moment, a doorway into eternity, a turning toward the light.
The Zikr can last anywhere from a few minutes to more than twenty four
hours. It is a powerful ceremony meant to open the hearts of the seekers
and transmit the Loving and Compassionate energy of the Divine Creator.
The Zikr makes the world turn. Come and turn with it.
