We will gather in retreat within the renewing energy of the Spring in the beautiful nature of the Abode in the Berkshire mountains. We will attune to the sacred manuscript of Nature, to seeing with the eyes of Sophia, the creative feminine, to the sacred wisdom of the earth, and to the alchemical and Ziraat teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan. Throughout the weekend we will deepen our intimacy with the elements as archangelic presences, experience meditations in Nature, and enhance and restore our sacred connection with the living Universe. We will engage with the element and astrological walks and xfdances.

We will share Sufi and Buddhist practices for purifying the mirror of the heart and cultivating the natural self, exploring the alchemy of the soul’s journey, and orienting more clearly to our unfolding purpose. Through retreat we touch upon our essential self, fresh and spontaneous, and affirm our rootedness in the sacredness of life. This, in turn, fulfills a deep calling of the soul; bridging our inner awakening with our sacred task of participating in an earth of beauty. This retreat is open to all, those experienced or new to spiritual practice.
