Those we love
don’t go away.

They walk beside
us every day.

In loving memory of
those forever in our hearts.

Join us in-person at this gathering to honor our deceased loved ones:

We will offer Qur’anic recitations, prayers, Turkish spiritual music and chants, with food in the intention of easing the transition and lightening the burdens of those who have passed on — as offered in the Turkish Muslim tradition.

All are welcome.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom. ~Rumi

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. ~Rumi
