Gleaning the Harvest: An Autumn Retreat
November 11th – 13th, 2021 via Zoom
Inayatiyya Retreats invites you to join us for a special three-day retreat led by Amida Cary, Mary Risala Laird, and friends. This retreat will explore the process of transformation contained within the perennial spiritual teachings and practices of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and their contemporary expression by Pir Zia.
The retreat experientially explores the soul’s journey and the stages of alchemy that support its unfoldment in life. We will retreat from 8 am to 4:15 pm San Francisco time, 11 am to 7:15 pm New York Time, each day.
To register, if you are a US resident, please send your full name, email address, location, and a check made payable to Peralta Avenue Sufi Center, 638 Peralta Ave, Berkeley, CA 94707. The cost is $150-$225 on a sliding scale. For all others please contact retreats@inayatiyya.org. Upon registration, a Zoom link and further details will be sent to you. Please register by November 8th.
The soul manifests in the world in order that it may experience the different phases of manifestation, and yet not lose its way by regaining its original freedom, in addition to the experience and knowledge it has gained in the world. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
