The Sufis and Henry Corbin called it the IMAGINAL: a real and living world accessible through the surrendered body.At the heart of the Sufi tradition are two divine qualities: Rahman and Rahim, boundless mercy and compassion. This evening asks a quiet, radical question: what would it mean to offer that same mercy to our own nervous systems?Led by South Asian artist Sahar F. Khundmiri, we begin with an ancient breath practice drawn from the Sufi devotional tradition; a conscious, rhythmic breathing that gently shifts the body out of vigilance and into what science now calls parasympathetic resonance, or the physiological state in which we stop defending and begin to receive.From there, we are carried by an immersive sound bath woven from sitar, harmonium, singing bowls, gongs, drum, voice, and more...instruments that span centuries and traditions, each chosen for its capacity to dissolve. The sitar traces the shape of longing, its resonant strings drawing the nervous system into stillness. The harmonium breathes beneath it all. The bowls open the overtone world. The gong washes form away.This is the Sufi teaching of fana, or the dissolution of the ego. You are invited to lie down, close your eyes, and disappear a little.Ticket price: $30 (in-person event only)Please Note: The PRS Lecture Room is only accessible via stairs.

Rooted in her South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Muslim heritage, she creates immersive soundscapes that evoke a safar, or spiritual journey through sound. Trained in sitar, raga, and voice, Sahar blends classical technique with crystal bowls, chimes, and devotional elements like zikr and Sufi poetry.
