“My life is running towards Thee, O divine Ocean, as the river flows to the sea."
~ Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan
Beloved friends on the Path,
we hope you had a joyful and serene Ostara, Laylat-al-Bara'at, Nowruz, Holi, Passover and Easter. As spring returns, and with it the promise of new life, we hold in our hearts the hope of being able to gather again beyond the virtual world someday soon.
In the meantime, please find below this month's offerings and news.
The "Retreats & Workshops" section was changed to make it easier to find events based on the Activity under which they fall. If you are hosting an Inayatiyya retreat, event or special gathering in the UK, please make sure to contact Karima by the 28th of each month so that it can be added to the following issue.
Finally, if you have further suggestions to make the newsletter more user-friendly, please feel free to contact the Office with your thoughts.
With many blessings and in loving service,
the Inayatiyya UK
