Upcoming Special Events (Toronto and GTA)


This is a list of special, one-time only events being held in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, displayed in order of the date of the event. A listing of all events we think might interest our community is listed here. Past special events are listed here. A separate listing is available for regular, ongoing events.

We aim to include in this list all the events sponsored by Toronto SOI centres that are participating in this website, other Inyati events in Toronto and the GTA, and some of the major Inyati events in the "Toronto region." We've defined the Toronto region as being within a seven hour drive from Toronto city centre. "Inyati" events are Sufi events sponsored by an organization that traces its roots to Hazrat Inayat Khan. The Sufi Order International maintains a list of worldwide special SOI events.
