And the note that the Sufi message is striking at the present time is the note which sounds the divinity of the human soul – to make human beings recognize the divinity in the human soul."<br /><br />"There is one Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, which truly enlightens all readers." -Hazrat Inayat Khan<br /><br /><br />P.S.

Depending on how it’s been tended over your life, your voice might feel strong and healthy – or it may feel more like it has a shallow root system, a weak stem, or fewer leaves or blossoms than desired. In voice work, your breath, posture, body tension, and fear of how you’re “supposed” to sound are all aspects that need tending to.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Join Conie and Liz for two hours of vocal tending and singing from your full breath and heart: give yourself and your voice loving, caring attention to grow strong, healthy, and beautiful. We want your voice to sing out and clearly communicate your care, pride, passion, hurt, and dreams to ourselves, our beloveds, our community, and our world.<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*********************<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Masks up please as an act of community care while Covid is surging.
