Zikr
Zikr means ‘to remember’, we do this through group prayer which takes the form of rhythmic chanting. This method has been practiced for generations and allows us to come back to the remembrance of God. This event will take place in the Temple at Dunslair and is normally only available in-person. Please email us if you have any questions contact@harmonyoftheway.co.uk
100 days of Emptiness
Every Wednesday. Classes are online via Zoom.
For this course we will look at one of the most fundamental sutras of Mahayana Buddhism - the Heart Sutra. It is considered the condensation of all of Buddha's teaching on Ultimate Truth. Wisdom and the realisation of emptiness are from the Buddhist point of view the most important practices. Until we realise the nature of self we will never be truly free from suffering. The other practices of giving, discipline, patience, joyous effort, and meditative concentration (shamatha) are limited until we realise emptiness. After we realise the nature of self we then engage in these practices as methods to perfect our path to the Ultimate beyond words, thoughts and expressions.
Nothing could be more important than studying who we are.
The Holy Prophet said 'He who knows himself, knows his Lord'.
No previous experience is necessary - we have to start somewhere in our understanding of emptiness.
The Heart Sutra is a small text and is accessible. The course will contain teachings, guided meditations and discussions. Join us in our humble, loving and vibrant community of seekers of Truth.
"Form is empty; emptiness is form. Form is not other than emptiness; emptiness is not other than form" The Heart Sutra.
For the course we will use 'Heart of Wisdom' by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Ecstatic Dance at Silver Tree Studio
Silver Tree Studio, Peebles, Scottish Borders. Cost £10/£8(concession). Free for members of Sufi School. For any questions please email: contact@harmonyoftheway.co.uk
Dancing is one of the easiest and most enjoyable spiritual practices. In this context, 'spiritual practice' means a conscious experience. Celebration, love, joy and ecstasy can open up through the unity of body and consciousness. As appealing as these qualities are, for a lot of people the use of intoxicants is needed to allow these to be experienced without fear. A 'safe space' is needed to help us ease into opening up. In this context 'safe space' means we are aiming to have no judgements towards ourselves or others, 'to dance like there is nobody watching'. It is also a space of community, where everyone dancing is sharing a vision of supporting ourselves to open up without judgement.
Nothing is as liberating as dancing freely, without intoxicants, only the natural intoxicant of joy and freedom!
There is a wide variety of music played from pop songs to techno. The evening will consist of warming up stretches, the dance, meditation and sharing. No previous dance experience is necessary.
Lama Noah Samarkand is the Spiritual Director of the Nyingma-Rabbaniyya Sufi School. He has over 30 years experience of ecstatic dance. Attaining his degree in drama and performance in 2014 he worked as a theatre director and writer before turning full time to his Sufi School. He started his meditation training in 1994 and has engaged in and lead many meditation retreats in the last 2 decades.
The integration of creativity, movement, love and meditation is the ethos of the Sufi School.
