The Wisdom of the Sacred Feminine: On the Wings of a Dove

with Sheikha Munira Elizabeth Reed

We invite you to join us as we explore themes of the Sacred Feminine from a universalist Sufi perspective. As human beings, we ask, 'Who am I? Where did we come from? Why are we here? How can we live with love and respect for all beings?' Opening to the Divine Feminine, we open to ourselves, our earth, and creation itself.

We search the heavens, oracles, and sacred texts for the Real, the Real who is always present, the Real who Remains, the Love behind all Love. During our three class meetings we will explore how the Sacred Feminine informs and guides us. We will engage in chant, guided meditation, self-inquiry, deep listening, and tuning ourselves to deepen our experience of Sacred Unity through the lens of the Divine Feminine.
