Leader details:


We are already looking forward to the next Khankah of the Heart Retreat at the Oblate Retreat Centre in Crewe which will be 14th~17th January 2027. We will focus on The Illuminated Souls mentioned in the Sufi Invocation of Hazrat Inayat Khan. These radiant beings of all time and no time, the shining ones, open the door and point the way as we polish the lamps of our own souls to reveal the illuminated breath here and now. ‘Even the darkness shines when we remember!’   (Neil Douglas-Klotz, Prayers of the Cosmos)

We have an ongoing bursary fund to enable us to support those encountering financial difficulties to be able to join us.  This is 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. Please don’t be shy about approaching us to discuss bursaries or paying by instalments, which can make it very affordable.

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.

We have found the Oblate Retreat Centre in Crewe to be very supportive of our retreat time. They have invested in Wistaston Hall, increasing accessibility. People find the rooms comfortable and the food nourishing, with care being taken to meet dietary needs. You can find out more https://www.orc-crewe.org/
