Leader details:
The next Khankah of the Heart Retreat at the Oblate Retreat Centre in Crewe will be in 22nd~25th January 2026. We will focus on the Winged Heart. In this retreat we are inspired by the Sufi winged heart: the symbol of spiritual liberty, expressing that the heart reaches upward towards heaven. In those paired wings we see the balance of known and unknown, impermanence and what survives,dancing on the threshold, the edge between the worlds, where we fly free, with the breath of God beneath our wings.
“Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birdwings” – Rumi

We are to have received funding from the Oneness Project to support our ongoing bursary fund to enable us to support those encountering financial difficulties to be able to join us. This will be available to all including those who will in future serve and support our communities, the young people. We recognise that these are challenging times and that financial challenges are becoming more widespread and that a bursary fund will help our community to be more supportive and inclusive. If you are experiencing abundance and feel inspired to support our bursary fund, please contact us.
We are committed to exploring sustainable ways to continue to gather as a Sufi Community, financially and based on caring for the Earth’s limited resources. This venture has been unfolding in our hearts and our lives each and every time we meet, we nurture and pray for its past, present and future.
Please don’t be shy about approaching us to discuss bursaries or paying by instalments, which can make it very affordable.
