Leader details:
The Celtic fire festival of Beltane celebrates the beginning of Summer, when the Green Man and the Queen of the May, the Maiden Goddess in her fullness of growth and renewal, are wed in the Sacred Marriage. All of nature is bursting with abundant and potent fertility, in a wild whirl of creative energy, and we are part of that!
In Part 1 on Sunday 2nd May we will work with simple Dances, Chants and Ritual to tune into the wild whirl of rising life energy, bringing this vitality and potency to our ideas, hopes and dreams; and In Part 2, on Tuesday 4th May, in our regular monthly Zikr evening we will take the theme of life, love, and ardent union with the Divine.
Zikr means remembrance. This Sufi practice invites us to remember our original and underlying state of unity with All-That-Is. Using body prayers – simple, gentle yet powerful movements – combined with chanting in Arabic, most commonly the Zikr phrase La illaha illa’llah (which could be translated ‘the only reality is Unity’, or ‘there is nothing except the One’), we celebrate Unity. Moving, chanting and breathing in rhythm together we begin to harmonise ourselves as individuals and as a group. Our bodies and hearts can realign with the rhythm of our souls. The result can be wonderful: we may experience sensations of devotion, peace and joy, heart-opening connections with others and a sense of oneness with all-that-is.
