The Kalyan Center, a Sufi Universalist center was founded in 2016 by Sura Charlier in response to the current need for spiritual training and community which is inclusive, creative, awakening, collaborative, mutually empowering, fully embodied, and service-oriented.

Individual practice and participation in community are essential parts of spiritual growth.  The Kalyan Center offers the opportunity to expand realization and actuation of the authentic Self through classes, music, movement, meditation, contemplative dialogue, individual and group retreats, the Healing Circle, worship services, social events, and community service projects;  all in an atmosphere of warm friendship on the spiritual path.  Participants who are interested, may also work on an individualized program under the guidance of a trained spiritual teacher who is insightful and deeply caring.
