The Way of the Heart:
Treasures of the Sufi Tradition
An evening retreat to explore some of the richness, power, and spiritual treasures of the Sufi tradition. Sufism is often called the way of the heart. Different traditions use different subtle centers as gateways to the inner space, and Sufism uses them all. But there is a special fondness for the heart center, and there seem to be no end of wonderful practices calling upon the heart at all its levels and in all its powers. We explore some of those wonderful practices.
