"Send Thy peace O Rabb,
our Father and Mother,
That we Thy children on Earth may all unite in one family".
~ Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan
Beloved friends on the Path,
As we witness the glorious culmination of this spring season, our hearts also turn to all those who have experienced suffering and heartbreak in the beautiful Holy Land. We pray for lasting peace, awakened justice and deep healing for all of our human family.
We would also like to remind you of our upcoming new series "The Wings of the World - Sophia series" beginning this month. This is a deep exploration on the theme of the Sacred Feminine and the healing of our beloved planet, hosted by a group of inspiring women across Europe/UK. For info & to book, please contact events.inayatiyya.uk@gmail.com.
Please see below for this month's offerings and news.
If you are hosting an Inayatiyya retreat, event or special gathering in the UK, please make sure to contact office.inayatiyya.uk@gmail.com by the 28th of each month so that it can be added to the following issue.
With blessings and in loving service,

The Wings of the World - Sophia series:
"Coming Down to Earth"
June 13th (8.30am to 11.30am BST)
The Shekinah speaks:
"I will walk the Earth once more and return from my exile. My feet will tread the barren places and bring new life. It is my time - no longer will I be banished - no longer will I suffer domination. I walk free. No one can use me against my will. No longer will I be a ghostly shape. My hour has come."
Hail Sophia - embodiment of the Mystery, Life giver, Restorer.
~ Tajalli Gruber
The Conscious and Unconscious devaluation of the Feminine supports the exploitation and abuse of women’s bodies as a ‘subcategory’ of the abuse and exploitation of the Earth’s resources - of our Mother. Join with us as guardians of the Feminine Principle. Let wholeness and healing be now. Coming to Earth we attend to the birthing of love, and the nurturing conditions of hope in All-Life. The trauma of long-silent histories break open and the tectonic plates of the collective Human Psyche are shifting.
The morning will focus on Embodiment and the Senses.
About the Series
According to a Cherokee prophecy, the bird of humanity has a male wing and a female wing. For the past few millennia, the bird of humanity has heavily relied on its masculine wing, causing humanity to fly in circles and to go astray. In order to heal our unraveling world, the time has come for us all to extend the feminine wing and express ourselves in a balanced and integrated way, in service to the wider web of Life.
This series consists of monthly gatherings facilitated by our Sophia Circle: Tajalli Gruber, Alia Kirsten, Farzana Dalila-Boyle, Noor un Nisa Jacobs, Karima Esse & invited others. Together, we share a heartfelt, inspired delight in the Divine Spiritual Archetype of Sophia as Guide in the renewal of the Feminine Mysteries. We also carry a wide and wild curiosity to know more about the ‘Women’ who served the Message and whose lives were closely connected to Hazrat Inayat Khan - we find inspiration courage & support with these women:
Pirani Amina Begum
Pirzadi-Shahida Noor-un-Nissa & Khair-un-Nissa Inayat Khan
The Four Murshidas
"Coming down to Earth" is part of "The Wings of the World Sophia series", taking place between June 2021 and Easter 2022. We begin with 3 half days (8:30am to 11:30am) - the second meeting will take place on July 11th on the theme of "Our grief and love for the World". Further dates TBA.

Universal Worship & Pir Vilayat Khan's Urs
June 14th (7pm to 8.15pm BST)
Join us for a special celebration of Pir Vilayat's Urs (his passing and journey back to the Beloved), hosted by our UK Cherag/as and their friends. The service starts at 7pm BST and features prayers, readings and music from different traditions. Everyone is welcome.
About the Universal Worship:
The Universal Worship came through Hazrat Inayat Khan as a divine inspiration in the early 1920s. Its purpose is to emphasise the presence of the divine in humanity and bring people together across differences. The service, in fact, gives an opportunity to those belonging to different faith & spiritual paths (or no tradition at all) to worship together.
Meeting ID: 835 7213 7593
Passcode: 120912
