- **Event Name**: Sufi Buddhist Fusion Soundbath with Umer & Carson
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Do you long for a meditation experience that doesn’t leave you drowning in your own mental noise? Ever wondered how you could tap into Sufi mysticism even as a Westerner?

Violinist and meditation guide Carson Marshall has teamed up with Sufi vocalist Umer Piracha to create a soundbath-workshop that is equally grounded in their respective musical traditions and spiritual lineages, AND invites seekers of all backgrounds to draw from the richness of Buddhist meditation and Sufi Qawwali. (Think Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan meets Paganini.) Together, they lead their unique approach that is part soundbath and part meditation teaching. This is particularly helpful for those who find silent meditation frustrating!

Whether you are a serious meditator, casually curious, or simply an appreciator of incredible music, this is an experience that will move you - and it’s impossible not to learn something. Umer and Carson are gentle, attentive listeners and teachers. We didn’t get enough of them in the spring so we’ve brought them back this fall!

Come ready to be elevated - and bring whatever cushions, mats, or props you wish! Part of Florence Congregational’s Practical Spirituality series, this workshop is intended to be of use to people on any spiritual path.

This soundbath will be followed by a conversation with Umer Piracha, led by Pastor Marisa, so we can learn more from Umer about how he makes sense of centuries-old musical and spiritual traditions, Sufi wisdom, and Buddhist practice in his own modern life. Umer's band Falsa bridges the 14th and 21st centuries - and will be performing the night before!
