About the Event
Murshid Samuel Lewis said this supreme practice was the equivalent of Mahamudra in Mahayana Buddhism. We will use walking meditations, dance, whirling, wazifah practice, the way of the Bodhisattva, sitting meditation, and Sufi/Dharma teachings as a way of respectfully approaching this Mushahida, an all- inclusive heart-centered active state of witnessing. This retreat is during in the peak of the fall foliage and expected to fill quickly.
