Community Zikr

A zikr is a devotional act in which short phrases or prayers are repeatedly recited silently within the mind or aloud. This experience will be led by Muhammad Ichlas, a Murshid (teacher and spiritual guide) of the Lansing area North American Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Community. Muhammad will be joined on percussion by Carolyn Koebel.

All are welcome to experience this tradition; we will share music, sacred text, group chanting, frame drumming, whirling and meditation as practiced in the Sufi tradition.

Running October 18 – December 1, 2019, the Connecting Chords Music Festival events center around the common convictions and threads that draw our community together – the importance of cultural traditions, human dignity, and the increased understanding of various faith traditions.
