Zikr means “remembrance” and refers to remembrance of the one reality. It is a form of prayer that combines the chanting of sacred syllables with rhythmic somatic movements within a seated meditation practice. Zikr illustrates the journey of grasping at emptiness, which eventually drives us inwards, where we discover the soul and find refuge in the heart.
The Inayati-Maimuni Order is a Universalist Sufi-Hasidic lineage of initiation, founded by Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Pir Netanel Miles-Yepez. Honoring the mutual transmission passed between Reb Zalman and Pir Vilayat Inayat-Khan, and echoing the interfaith practices of Egyptian Rabbi Avraham Maimuni, the Inayati-Maimuni Order bridges the universalist Sufi transmission of Hazrat Inayat-Khan with the mystical Hasidic teachings of the Ba’al Shem Tov.
