Nowruz – A Celebration of Spring, Memory & Hope
Saturday, March 21 | 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM in person and online!
Led by KSAM residence: Ramona, Duygu, and Friends
Nowruz, the Persian New Year, symbolizes the rebirth of life. This year, we gather in a Circle of Presence to celebrate the light of spring while holding the weight of remembrance for the lives lost in Iran. Through traditional Zikr, Persian melodies, and shared stories, we transform "dancing grief" into collective dignity and resistance.
in person: The Mentorgarten 410 Precita Ave. San Francisco Online: Email for the Zoom link: khankahsam101@gmail.com
🗓 Every 4th Saturday of the Month starting March 28th
⏰ 12 pm-2 pm
📍 Mentorgarden – 410 Precita Avenue, San Francisco on Precita Park
Join Khankah SAM resident Duygu Gün for a grassroots gathering exploring Turkish folk melodies. These circles are for everyone—no experience or Turkish required. We learn by ear and let the repetition of song carry us.
Suggested Donation: $20–$25
Duygu began studying music at an early age, training in classical guitar and voice before deepening her path through Turkish makam music and Sufi musical traditions. Over the years, much of her growth has come through immersion, collaboration, and cross-cultural exploration — learning songs not just as repertoire, but as living traditions carried by people and place.

Through the Monthly Singing Circles, Duygu brings this experience into an intimate setting — creating spaces where songs can be learned by ear, sung together, and experienced as a source of connection rather than performance.

“The merit of the repetition of any name of God is nothing, compared to the reality one experiences, as in Zikr, when one completely dissolves in the Remembrance of Unity”
