These workshops will run as a single course on prayer led by Sacred Roots' Resident Scholar Shaykh Trent Carl. We strongly encourage that you register and attend all 4 sessions, as each session builds on the other. That said, if you cannot commit to all four then each should still be of some benefit as a standalone session. We will serve dinner at 8:00 PM following each class.
