Calendar of Events

This workshop, in the scheme of Comparative Religion studies, will present an overview of the five pillars of Islam and then go into depth exploring the pillar of Salaat (Prayer/Meditation). Using a discussion-based method, it will explore Islamic approaches to prayer and meditation, examining scriptural guidance, traditional stories and practice. Special emphasis will be on comparing Islamic approaches to Yogic concepts of prayer and meditation. One of the aims of the workshop is to help participants deepen their own prayer/meditation practices regardless of what spiritual path they follow.
