The Intimacy of Belonging

The Intimacy of Belonging Week 3A  August 7th - 13th, 2022
Movement Workshop with Robin Becker The body is the capacity we have been given through which to experience life. 
- Hazrat Inayat Khan
In the Sufi Tradition, all of creation is considered an expression of divine intelligence. The human body is comprised of and nourished by the fabric of the planet. Like a wave rising in the ocean with its unique expression followed by a return to the ocean, the body is a similar manifestation of the earth. We all intimately belong to an ocean of wholeness, unity, and love. Throughout our five days together, we will weave together the perspectives of the Sufi Tradition with the somatic practice of Continuum. All life, including the body, has been shaped by the movement of water, and in Continuum, the body is understood as a boundless process of fluid movement rather than form.  Our water-filled bodies are highly sensitive liquid crystalline structures that are designed to receive and transmit the vibrations of life. The body’s method of communication is through the language of sensation. As we learn to expand our perceptual skills and sensory awareness, we invite a deeper experience of life to become consciously embodied within us. We can directly sense our essential, far-reaching participation in the life of the planet and learn to ‘hear’ the call of the earth and the call of the heavens through the non-verbal movements and response of our being. Please join us for 5 days of embodied inquiry, discovery, rest and renewal. This seminar is appropriate and safe for everyone at all levels of movement capacity. No previous movement experience is required http://www.robinbeckerdance.org/html/Continuumclass.html ...

Group Retreat with Aziz Dikeulias

Group Retreat with Aziz Dikeulias Week 4D  August 14th - 20th, 2022
Group Retreat with Aziz Dikeulias “Let the heavens be reflected in the earth, Lord, that the earth may turn into heaven.” 
- Hazrat Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan
Murshid talks about “the awakened souls, whose bodies are here, whose hearts are in the spheres of the jinn and whose souls are in the heaven of the angels, who, while on earth, can experience all the planes of existence.” This is rather difficult whilst dealing with the all-consuming turmoil of the everyday life, so we take a little time off, and go on retreat, to discover and reconnect to the essence of our being, feel the harmony and inspiration of the jinn plane in our hearts and hear the music of the angelic spheres “Saut-i Sarmad” lifting us beyond the worries and limitations of our perceptions of reality. This is where we can accept the gifts and insights of an awareness beyond cause and effect, beyond laws and dogmas, bathed in the light of pure consciousness, love and acceptance of what we were, of what we are becoming and of who we shall be. The retreat is open to all sincere seekers willing to take a vow of silence for its duration and follow the guidance by doing, to the best of one’s ability, the practices shared by the guide, in the alchemical tradition of the Inayatiyya. Aziz Dikeulias is a senior guide in the Inayati Order and has been guiding retreats since 1984.All sessions will be simultaneously translated into German. If you are interested in joining this journey, please contact me either through Zenith, or directly at: yaaziz@sky.com ...

Group Retreat with Saki Lee

Group Retreat with Saki Lee Week 3D  August 7th - 13th, 2022
Group Retreat with Saki Lee, Assisted by Latif Brinck “There is nothing in this world which does not speak. Everything and every being is continually calling out its nature, its character, and its secret; and the more the inner sense is open, the more capable it becomes of hearing the voice of all things”
Hazrat Inayat Khan –  During these challenging and ever-changing times, we need to stay close to the simple things in nature, for she is a shelter for our souls, and a holy place where the divine is clearly visible and audible.  We are welcomed into a precious circle of belonging with the whole of life and all living beings.  Even if we enter nature’s sanctuary with burdened hearts, we can expect to leave with lighter footsteps! To consciously create a pause from the uncertainties of outer life, spiritual retreat offers us a time-honored way to return to the essence of being and the purpose for which we have come to this life.  We are renewed and nourished in body, mind and soul as we tune ourselves to the natural rhythm of nature, her awesome beauty and hospitality. As we deepen our alignment with the higher frequencies of light, love and life, the call of our soul becomes a clearer and more reliable source of guidance towards our life’s authentic calling. We are delighted to hold our retreat after two years of absence in the silent, sheltered and beautiful retreat area of the camp where people have come for over 30 years for the alchemical process of transformation. Our retreat schedule this week includes morning sessions, during which we share sacred music, silent meditation, and practices with breath, light and sound as we explore the dance between inner and outer life in the world.    The afternoons will be on your own, allowing the splendor of Nature to unveil your own true nature.  Suggested walking meditation practices as well as an opportunity to have a personal sitting with Saki and Latif will be given.  In the evening, we meet together again for sacred songs and zhikr. This retreat is open to both newcomers as well as experienced travelers on the path of love regardless of experience with Sufi practices ...
