Living from the Soul

A Winter Renewal Retreat with
Yaqin Aubert and Naima Brown

Saturday, Jan. 10th – Sunday, Jan. 11th, 2026
10:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST On Zoom

Pir Vilayat once said, “Put your soul in charge of your life!” What does it mean to live from the soul? How does this help us in our everyday life? How does the nectar of the soul renew us? We will share teachings and practices from the Inayatiyya on Breath, Divine Names, Zikr, and Light. We will also explore Pir Zia’s current teachings on the Sophic Whorl.

We look forward to gathering again for our online annual Winter Renewal retreat.

All are welcome! Ashiqs, Murids, experienced and new travelers on the path…

When: Saturday, Jan. 10th – Sunday Jan. 11th, 2026 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST On Zoom

Cost: $101 USD; Scholarships are available, please contact us to arrange one if you need it. Finances should not be an obstacle.
