CREATIVE WISDOM
In 1922, an Indian musician and mystic moved with his family to a magnificent house in Suresnes near Paris. He named it Fazal Manzil: the house of blessings. His name was Hazrat Inayat Khan. His teachings, based on a philosophy of love, harmony and beauty, would make him a Sufi master celebrated the world over.
One of his children was Noor Inayat Khan, honoured to this day as a heroine of the Second World War.
Fazal Manzil and its garden have become a meeting place for all those who, like them, aspire to peace and wisdom.
A place of wisdom
Fazal Manzil is a centre for philosophical and spiritual study and practices, cultivating wisdom for our times.
A place of creativity
It stimulates creativity in a special atmosphere for music, retreats, inner life and self-unfoldment.
A place of connection
It provides a bridge between tradition and modernity where dialogue and tolerance work towards peace.
One may think of art as something inferior to nature, but I do not think so. I think art finishes nature; that in art is something divine, that God Himself, through man, finishes this beauty which is called art. In other words, art is not only an imitation of nature, art is the improvement upon nature, be it painting, drawing, poetry, or music. But the best of all arts is the art of personality.
Fazal Manzil is the home of the message of universal Sufism developed by Hazrat Inayat Khan. It is a destination for those seeking inspiration and renewal on the path to enlightenment and love.
The Inayat Khan Museum space and the Event Hall form a multi-faceted complex: a centre for the study of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s wisdom, a venue for groups, a destination for visitors and a place for contemplation.
THE EVENT HALL CAN BE HIRED FOR SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCES, MEDITATION, CONCERTS
AND OTHER ACTIVITIES IN HARMONY WITH THE ATMOSPHERE OF THIS SPECIAL PLACE.
