German Spring Retreat 2025
Symbiosis: The Intertwining of Lives, Loves, and Lights
April 17th to April 21st, 2025
Gersfeld (Rhön), Germany & via Zoom
“Is the survival of the fittest the engine that drives evolution? Such was the supposition of science for many decades. Increasingly, however, attention is being paid to symbiosis: the way in which organisms work together and benefit each other.
In this spring retreat, we will explore the mutuality that exists between Creator and creation, soul and body, planet and person, and two friends. Through prayer, meditation, and invocation, we will sanctify and energize the symbioses at the heart of our lives and of the world.” – Pir Zia Inayat Khan
This program is in-person and via Zoom, with registration for both through Inayatiyya Deutschland. Please see their website for all details.
