Sufi Night — Spiritual Communion
Albuquerque Center For Peace & Justice
202 Harvard Dr SE
Albuquerque NM 87106
See the Center’s online calendar for meeting dates
All are welcome to join: we do group drumming, chanting, dancing, live music, movement & breathing, and we usually partake in a vegetarian meal together afterwards.
These practices are based on the many cultures which have come together for thousands of years under the label of “Sufi,” which simply means the authentic expression of our deepest essence, beyond the ego. The purpose of our group work is to practice unity, to bring inner peace, and to open the intelligence of the heart.
We ask for donations to cover expenses — to keep the P&J Center open — $5–$10.
We bring drums and blankets — but if you have a mat/blanket, drum, or any other instrument, please bring it along.
