Spring 2017
Dear Friends of Heartsong,
Over 30 years of spiritual practice has consecrated the Heartsong Shrine. Hundreds of people have danced and prayed at the Shrine as we followed our mission: “ to facilitate ones inner growth and embody the Sufi message of love, harmony and beauty”. Sufis speak of the baraka (blessing) of a place. You can feel this blessing upon entering the Shrine. Now the original shingle roof is beginning to leak and we are moving to replace it. Recent work has stabilized the foundation. Roofing and gutters are the next steps in maintaining the Shrine. We hope you can help us with this effort. . .
…There are several ways you can support Heartsong…
The fall schedule – Saturday evening zikr at 7:00 pm on 4th Saturday of the month, with exception in December to allow us to gather and celebrate the Urs of Rumi.
