Fulfilling the Pledge Ramadhan Retreat

with Imam Salim and Tara Chishti
Friday, September 3, 2010 to Monday, September 6, 2010

"Am I not your Lord who cherishes and sustains you?"- They said: "Yes! We do testify!" -Quran 7:172

In a time before time we pleged our sacred bond with the creator of all things. Ramadhan is part of fulfilling that pledge, taking time out of our lives to exist in remembrance of our lord and of that pledge. During this retreat we will gather together to experience the deep sacred meanings and message of Ramadhan. We will fast during the day immersed in zikr, prayer and sohbet. And we will share joyous meals together in the early morning and after sunset. At night we will answer the call of the night prayers and remembrance of God. Celebrate the inner meanings of the Ramadhan fast with us - a journey towards our heart's longing.

Imam Salim Chishti is the Imam in Residence at the Abode of the Message and a Representative and Guide in the Sufi Order International. He has dedicated his life to the study and teaching of practices that bring us closer to the divine.

Tara Chishti is a representative in the Sufi Order, a retreat guide and a healer. Tara loves working with all those who are seekers on the path to help them fulfill their own God ideal. Tara is also a licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine, her work on the spiritual path deeply informs her medical practice.
