THE ALCHEMY OF LOVE: Walking with the Mystics
A year long Online Series with Saki Lee
“Love is the alchemy of the soul: it transmutes copper into gold, the ego into light.” Hazrat Inayat Khan, the Gayan
This year-long online series invites you into a living alchemy of the awakened heart. Our classes are rooted in the universal Sufi teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Pir Zia Inayat Khan. We shall also draw upon inspirations from some of the Christian mystics, including Meister Eckhart, Hildegard von Bingen, Teresa of Avila, and St. John of the Cross.
Themes along the journey
-
The pain of separation and our longing to belong
-
Descent as initiation: entering the unknown as sacred ground
-
The fire of love that transforms and heals
-
The heart as crucible for transmuting wounds into gifts
-
Rediscovering kinship and the sacred “We”
-
Creativity as a vessel for divine expression
-
The quiet rising of the soul into coherence
-
Living as love — embodied, enacted, and shared
This path is not linear. It spirals, pauses, and deepens. Each month, we listen anew for what is being asked. You are invited to move at your own rhythm, to engage with the practices as they resonate, and to trust your own unfolding. Together, we hold space for the mystery — allowing love to reveal itself, gently, in its own time.
What the series includes
Since 2015, these online circles have brought together seekers from more than 17 countries. Each month includes 4 sections, each not exceeding 35 minutes.
✧ A morning meditation with sacred music, prayers, breath, light and purification practices
✧ A teaching and practice session with divine names (wazaif)
✧ A remembrance (zhikr) practice
✧ A brief musical interlude for mystic relaxation
You’ll also receive weekly inspirations, transcripts of practices, and monthly opportunity to gather live on Zoom — with an optional in-person meeting at the Sufi Center in Den Haag if you live in the Netherlands
