Night, Dawn, and the Body of Light w/ Pir Zia
August 23rd – 24th, 2025
Katwijk, Netherlands
During our weekend retreat we shall delve into the mystical symbolism of light, darkness, and color. We will explore how the Earth’s rotations -both on its axis and around the sun- stimulate different states of the soul, and how the awakening of the soul manifests through a spectrum of colored lights. Together, we will also plumb the depths of darkness to uncover a hidden luminosity that reveals the richness of existence.
