West Berkshire Baha’i Shawn Khorassani is hoping that new people will be tempted to come along to the ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation meetings on Tuesdays from 8pm to 10pm to discuss everything from Hope to Humility to Love.
Shawn said: “Inspiration, rejuvenation, motivation, purpose, meaning are all essential ingredients to one’s sense that his or her life is on track and is worth living. But day to day, one is hard-pressed to find or feel them and is challenged to maintain a positive, hopeful outlook.
“ The Baha’i writings teach us that the Word of God provides inspiration, rejuvenates souls, gladdens hearts and renews one’s sense of purpose. The devotional gatherings we host in our homes are intended to create an environment of unity and harmony.”
The sessions are open to all newcomers. The meetings are often simple and accommodate participants regardless of their religious background. Music, food and discussion often feature, but the main purpose is to enable people to gain perspective on how spiritual principles can be applied to day-to-day life, using the power of prayer to transform, unify and revitalise.
Join in! Anyone who wants to join in any of these activities when they resume is welcome – whether you are a Bahá’í or a non-Bahá’í. Please call 01635 552558 or email myra@khorassani.com for more details.
