An open heart is an awake heart.

Roots of Remembrance is a three-night winter gathering centered on dhikr, the Sufi practice of remembrance.

Through sacred chant, breath, rhythm, music, and silence, we come together to awaken the heart, deepen our relationship with the Sacred, and cultivate the spiritual stamina to meet the world with greater clarity, courage, and love.

We'll share a private home in the Berkshire hills, gathering for guided practices, home-cooked meals, conversations by the fire, and time to rest and reflect.

Who this gathering centers

Roots of Remembrance intentionally centers Muslim, SWANA, and Queer Muslim experiences. Allies and companions drawn to the Sufi path are welcome.

You don't need prior experience with dhikr, knowledge of Arabic, or any particular religious certainty. Come as you are.

Three nights. Fifteen companions. One shared intention: to remember.
