Announcing A Sufi Retreat with the Sufi Master Videha

sufi poster 2


Sufi is a Mystic path, and the essence that is at the heart of all religious spirits. It is the ancient wisdom of the heart, and the path of love born from that wisdom. It's finding the true nature and realization. This group in a meditative process using different methods, like rhythm, breath, music, dance, voice, sound,  poetry, to enter a state of emptiness.
"Zikhr"  (Remembrance), an essential Sufi method, will bring us in touch with different layers of our being. Its waves will deepen and expand the different qualities of human consciousness and take us to the silent lake of our being. Whirling symbolizes and represents man's unity with the cosmos; is a movement where we dissolve ourselves with a world that cannot be understood with our mind, it has to be felt with the heart.

This gathering is a process of emptying  ourselves,  a process,  an atmosphere where love and wildness flower into meditation. We will also explore the beauty of Sufi poetry and music. This Sufi group will be a deep immersion into our inner world,  an exploration of the love and wisdom we all carry in our being.  A Remembrance of the joyful song, and luminous silence, of existence.

“By knowing the mysteries of our own heart,  we begin to resonate with the mysteries of existence”.

***

“This is love.
To fly towards a secret sky,
To cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of live,
In the end, to take a step without feet.
To regard this world as invisible,
And to disregard what appears to be the self.
Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
To enter this circle of lovers.
To see beyond seeing itself,
To reach and feel within the breast.” 

-RUMI
