The Freedom of What If
July 17th–19th 2020
Creative Workshop with Majida Heiß, Zuleikha, Pir Zia & Mirza Inayat Khan, Stella Biel, Maureen Zollinger & Ula Wyss
“The human spirit lives on creativity and dies in conformity and routine.” Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
The inspiration for this seminar is to be found in the two words from Pir Vilayat that immediately remind us of what is possible – “what if?”
For it is here that what troubles us can meet our imagination and in this intermingling new possibility is born for ourselves, each other and the world.
In our time together we will:
- Connect to our bodies and explore our relationship to freedom. Zulekhia will be our guide.
- Let the wisdom of stories be the catalyst for our hearts to remember who we really are. Pir Zia and Mirza Inayat Khan will be our storytellers
- Work with our imagination and our hands to guide us to the world of new possibilities. Stella and Subhana will be our imagination catalysts.
We will also have a special session for parents and children to come together and feel how the power of creativity can help us be ourselves. Majida will be our guide.
This weekend is for all those that are thirsty to be in spaces with people of all ages from around the world, and those of us who might not see ourselves as being creative but are willing to let our curiosity take us on the journey of wonder.
