Cosmic Sojourner is inspired by the Sufi Order of Hazrat Inayat Khan and his vision of the unity of all true religions. Our music is from the heart and captures the passion of the tradition it embodies. Many of the most loved and sacred words spoken on the planet have found a way to be expressed, with the deepest emphasis on Sufi zikr*, a form of body prayer that seeks to unite the spiritual aspirant with the Creator in a direct experience.
*zikr: “remembrance of God.”
