Iliona Khalili will present her late husband’s (Nader Khalili) extraordinary life and his well-known translations of Rumi.
This is an interactive creative evening where we will use the Persian tradition of ‘fal’ – opening a book of poetry (usually Hafiz) at random and reading the first lines that come to eye to see if fate can answer our pressing questions. She would be very happy if audience members would read out some of her selections from ‘Fountain of Fire’ (or make their own selection). As ever we are open to original poetry and music from you.
Ending with traditional Sufi ‘zikr’ meditation of chanting, rhythm, breath, movement at about 8.45pm
Saturday 24th January
7pm-9.30pm

This will be the last Sufi frame-drum workshop offered by Silk Roads for the year – just in time to raise the temperature for these cold dark days.
Check the video to this Sufi frame-drum workshop where aside from one person none of the participants had ever played the frame-drum before.

We will be learning the instruments with their rhythms and chants as quickly as possibly so that we can practice a Sufi ‘dhikr’ meditation with the daf frame-drums.
Please arrive promptly as the doors close at 7.15pm. (You can ring 07821 182696 to be let in if you’re late)
