The Alchemy of Knighthood
Inner Change and the 40 Rules of the Knighthood of Purity
Wednesdays, October 7 – October 28, 2026
8:00 – 9:15 pm ET

You are invited to join Sikander, Basira, and special guests as we embark on a noble quest to explore the alchemical process of inner change while working with the 40 Rules of the Knighthood of Purity as we walk the path of chivalry. Through the four weeks we will explore the origins of the Knighthood Activity and the 40 Rules, practices for purification, inner alchemy, and chivalry as laid out through the teachings of Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, as well as Pir Zia's commentaries on the rules. This course is open to everyone — especially current and prospective heralds, and anyone drawn to chivalry, alchemy, or the Knighthood Activity. To learn more about the Knighthood of Purity, visit https://inayatiyya.org/knighthood/. All four classes will be led by Sikander, with additional input from Basira and Suhrawardi.

Details

Tuition

We offer three tuition levels so that cost need not stand between you and this course.

Supporter — $120 for the series ($30 per class). If you're able to give a little more, this helps sustain the course and the wider work of the Inayatiyya.
Standard — $80 for the series ($20 per class). Our suggested level.
Limited Income — $40 for the series ($10 per class). If the standard level is a stretch.

These rates are set to keep this teaching within reach rather than to reflect what it costs to offer. Gifts at the Supporter level help make the lower levels possible and support the Inayatiyya's work beyond this course.

Please choose the level that best reflects your circumstances. We ask that you choose in good conscience rather than by any outward measure — no explanation is needed, and no one is asked to justify their choice.

If even the Limited Income level is out of reach, scholarships are available. Please contact astana@inayatiyya.org before registering so we can process your request.

If you miss a class, video will be made available a day or two after each session.

If you have questions about the Knighthood Activity or about this series, please email us at Knighthood@inayatiyya.org or caravanofsouls@gmail.com. Questions about registration, payments, scholarships, and logistical details can be sent to astana@inayatiyya.org.
