Black and White Hands

I just got off the phone with Dr. John Abd al-Qadr Davies, faculty and co-founder of the Masters in Peacemaking Program here at the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he has offered to join us for a prayer call Friday, Inauguration Day in the US.

He is in the middle of teaching a 3-week intensive program at the University of Maryland on Multitrack Diplomacy: Transforming Violent Conflict, but he’ll be taking time out to offer words of wisdom, peace and healing.

Dr. Davies lives his mission for peace in all areas of his life. He reminded me today:

“It’s important to come together, for us to remain positive and look for the opportunities for positive change that come when so many boundaries are being broken. It is important that we not allow ourselves to be pulled into the dynamics of negativity and fear.”

Dr. Abd al-Qadr Davies will share a few words about how we can respond for the good of our country and our people. Then we will engage in an ancient Sufi meditation practice called Remembrance.

You are invited join us in person for a live call – about a half-hour.

It’s FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2017
at 1:00 PM US Eastern / 10:00 AM US Pacific

Just scroll down to listen in.

If you are not available at the time of the live call, a replay will be available here after the event. Just bookmark this page and set a time in your calendar to come back and go through the prayer and meditation with the recording.

We hope you can join us live. You’re welcome to invite your friends to attend as well.

Here are the event details:

TIME: 1:00 PM US Eastern / 10:00 AM US Pacific

Sufi-Webinars-Living-Peace

New Online Program begins January 31st.

We are blessed to live in “interesting times,” beyond the sublime order of angelic existence, and to seek the gifts that are hidden in the apparent uncertainty and chaos that periodically threaten to overwhelm us. This year’s federal election has blown away some comforting assumptions about where we stand, so this webinar series is a timely response to help us make sense of the challenges we face as a nation, an ummah, a community or family, and as all of humanity.

Join Dr. John Abd al-Qadr Davies for this special series to learn:

How to move from focusing on others’ failures to stepping into real responsibility for catalyzing constructive change.
How to connect with empathy to the hearts of those caught in fear, overwhelm or reactive blame.
How to recognize how others mirror for us the places that need healing in our own lives.
How to respond to prejudice, alienation or hatred, to defuse threats of violence.
How to live in peace, in love, now.
