The Incredible Lightness of Being
May 27 - June 1

Led by Khadija Radin

In these challenging times we will explore the One Beingness out of which life arises and realize a deep gratitude for the Privilege of Being.

The Retreat will include a daily schedule of turning, meditation, yoga, breath work, visualization, sufi practices, and whirling ceremony.

Vegetarian meals will be deliciously prepared. Daily saunas with a dip in spring fed ponds and walks on the exquisite grounds will round off the retreat experience.

Khadija is walking her eightieth year, deeply grateful for still being able to guide you on the path of The Incredible Lightness of Being!

  • There is a way between voice and presence
    where information flows.
    In disciplined silence it opens.
    With wandering talk it closes
    -- Rumi


    A little while alone in your room will prove more valuable than anything else that could ever be given you.
    -- Mevlana Rumi


    Wisdom is attained in solitude.
    -- Hazrat Inayat Khan


    This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.
    This freedom is worth more than all the lands on earth.
    To be one with the truth for just a moment,
    Is worth more than the world and life itself. 
    -- Rumi
