Sufi Healing Retreat 2026

A New Awakening: Refreshing the Heart and Senses for Healing
The Annual Sufi Healing Retreat
October 15 – 18, 2026 via Zoom

Sufi Healing Leaders Training — Thursday, October 15 & Friday, October 16
Sufi Healing Retreat, Open to All — Saturday, October 17 & Sunday, October 18

Overview

"The way to spirituality is the expansion and the widening of the heart. In order to accommodate the divine Truth, the heart must be expanded. With the expansion of the heart the divine bliss is poured out."

"If God is to be found anywhere, it is in the human heart, which is love. And if the love element is awakened in the heart, then God is made alive, so to speak, and is born in one's self."

— Hazrat Inayat Khan

On behalf of the Inayatiyya Healing Activity, we warmly invite you to our annual Sufi Healing Retreat.

This retreat is based on the teachings of the Sufi musician and mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927), and is traditionally held in two parts. The first two days, October 15 and 16, are designed for Inayatiyya Healing Activity leaders. The second two days, October 17 and 18, are held as a general healing retreat open to all.

We warmly encourage you to attend the weekend retreat — and if you are an appointed healing leader (healing conductor, healing cherag, healing retreat guide, or shafayat), the first two days as well.

The full program is offered via Zoom, with video recordings provided at the end.

Details

Advance registration is required. Video recordings will be provided to all registrants after the retreat.

• $150 for the full four-day retreat (for designated Healing Activity leaders)
