« True knowing comes from the emptiness of receptivity at the center of our being, exemplified in Sufism by the heart. What we are looking for is at the center of the heart of knowing, in the inner sanctum of the sacred chamber of the heart, where we find the doorway, the passage to the other world. It is a place beyond representation, in the timeless now, where "I" no longer exists to personalize the experience. »
— Wajid Gallien. Wings of the Message: A Sufi Perspective.

Join us on the weekend of April 21st & 22nd, 2012 for a workshop with Wajid designed to take us on a journey of self-discovery through the heart and into the Unknown.

Wajid is a senior teacher in the Sufi Order International, and has been a student of Sufism and ancient philosophies for nearly 40 years. He is presently working as a hospice Chaplain. Wajid's insights into spiritual challenges, cultural awakening, and contemplative studies are the product of his attunement to Sufi teachings, which he shares in his books, The Heart of Knowing, and Wings of the Message. He is a member of SOI-Seattle Board of Trustees.

Wajid maintains a website, and you can also read his article "Gift of the Formless."

There is an online map to this Ottawa event location. This event is sponsored by the Sufi Order of Ottawa, and you can visit their webpage to check for updates. Wajid visits Ottawa regularly and you can find past event pages at our website from 2011, 2009 and 2008. There are usually some folks from Toronto driving to Ottawa for his visits, so carpooling may be available.
