“When we think of our life in the world, in our material strife, in our spiritual struggle –
what do we need?
We need that light, the spark of which is within us, which is our being.
Beautiful qualities come by being light; light in the mind, in the soul and in the body.”
~ Hazrat Inayat Khan (Vol II)

In this retreat we will explore the Sufi perspective of light, the light within, and being a “being of light.” Clouds of limitation, such as confusion, uncertainty, and distress, obscure the natural light within. Heaviness of heart weighs us down. But when heaviness and limitation are removed, joy comes, and we feel light. How might “being light” unburden our bodies, minds, hearts and souls, and more so, inspire us, with the support of clear minds and loving hearts, to build a more beautiful world of beautiful people?

As we journey through the stages of retreat we will draw from our rich heritage of light practices to reconnoiter how light purifies, opens, reveals, inspires and creates. How does “being light” affect our sense of identity? Inform our relationships? Color our individual and collective understanding of and participation in the world? Imagine what it would be like to travel lightly through life!

Faculty for this retreat includes Amida Cary & Yaqin Aubert.
