Individual retreats in a communal setting in the heart of the Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville, NC

Read on for full details

This Zoom series is an 8 week immersion in the teachings of Murshid Samuel Lewis, paired with practices in relaxed, purposeful concentration to heighten our capacity for personal balance, spiritual development, and collaborative energy work on behalf of planetary evolution

"In this world one is so open to impressions. . .The learning of concentration clears the [mind's] record, makes it produce what we like, not what comes automatically. . .Nothing in this world can be thoroughly accomplished without concentration, whether in one's business or profession, or in spiritual work." (Hazrat Inayat Khan, Vol IV)

This is a drop-in series, and while it is not necessary to attend every session, sustained attendance will naturally be of benefit for the development of concentration.

This class series is open to anyone and is by donation.

Program Description

The format of this gathering is inspired by intensives I led and co-led in years past at Rising Tide. The consistency of daily meetings, combined with the personal connections and inspirations that emerge, create a container of accelerated change. We will draw on the wisdom of each participant, as well as the dynamics of the group as a whole, to inform a living process which may include zikr/chanting, meditation, teachings, discussion, informal constellation work, planetary visioning, and more.

Intensives are an alchemical opportunity that can challenge us to arrive at new ways of being open, visible, vulnerable, powerful, and/or real. Stepping into the Future is best suited to those in transition or on thresholds of change, those who feel stalled in moving forward, and those wishing for spiritual immersion as a springboard for deeper growth.

It is expected that participants may need to miss sessions here and there due to other commitments and unforeseen circumstances. If from the outset, you know you will miss more than 4-5 meetings, it may be best to wait for a future opportunity.

Class Description

It is in spacious awakeness, in relaxed alertness, that we most easily find our true sense of ground, being, and joy. With the ever-increasing strife in many parts of our world, it can be hard not to get caught in the suffering and pain so many are facing, not to mention the day-to-day struggles of our own minds. And yet, it is our radiance and deep heart happiness that can do most to uplift the collective psyche and bring harmony to all of life, including our own.

In these classes, we will practice pathways of freeing ourselves from tension and learn how to share this atmosphere for the greater benefit of our planet. Real repose and relaxation is not giving way to habits of unconsciousness, but letting go into a dynamic, loving, spacious, and awake connectedness.

The phrase "Mystic Relaxation" is taken from the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, whose teachings on the subject we will embody, along with others. Our time together will be based on living experience, using guided meditation, contemplation, and concentration to soften the grip of the habitual identity and dissolve into the source of all being.

". . . Body in repose, mind at rest, heart at peace. It is that experience which may be called nirvana, the ideal of thinkers and meditative souls. It is that which they want to reach, for in it there is everything. In that condition, each person becomes for the time as a drop that is assimilated and submerged in its origin...the essence of all...It is newly charged and has become illuminated again." ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

This is a drop-in class series, and you are welcome to attend as frequently as you wish. However, the classes do build on each other, and the energy and intent will be strengthened for you and the gathering group if, after a class or two, you decide how often you will attend and hold to that rhythm.

Every Wednesday I gather with those near and far who are inspired to come together for a half hour of silent meditation. Please drop me a line for full details (or to know how you can participate even if the exact time doesn’t work for your schedule).

Due to the current uncertainties in international travel, ongoing global measures for health and safety, and the cessation of all trekking in Nepal, this trip has been cancelled until further notice. It is my great hope that we will be able to reschedule and take this trip at a later date. Details will be forthcoming in the event that new dates are established.

A Co-Creative Life   ~    6-Week Zoom Series

In these times of heightened anxiety and uncertainty, it is more essential than ever that we attend deeply to the life and future we wish to create for ourselves and our world. At our core, we know we are inherently creative beings, with more power than we can imagine, yet we are often derailed by confusion or lack of clarity about what this actually means or how to embody it. In this series, we will delve into the true heart of co-creativity, to apprehend more deeply how our souls co-create in unison with nature and the divine. This will necessarily involve visiting themes such as soul purpose, concentration, immanence and transcendence, the role of unseen beings, and more.

While six weeks can only offer an entry into this vast domain, with a spirited and experiential approach, we will begin to establish a foothold into a way of being and perceiving that can radically reshape our individual and collective unfoldment.  Classes are 90 min weekly, 1pm EST USA

For those who find themselves in a period of magnified growth or challenge or needing to work intensively on a particular issue, I offer focused one-to-one sessions.

These are typically every 2 weeks (or as appropriate), by phone or Zoom. We work from the real experience of being together, as whole humans, and informed by my training as a constellation-facilitator, empath, therapist, and spiritual guide.

Please contact me first, so we can determine if this is the best format for your aims. By appointment only. Open to all. Rates established on a sliding scale.

For Sufis: sessions do not conflict with or take the place of relationship with one's guide.

Due to the ongoing local and global changes stemming from the coronavirus, this retreat will be rescheduled at a time when it is once again safe to gather as a group. Thank you for your understanding.

with Shahabuddin David Less Full info, registration http://www.zenithinstitute.com/

To attain happiness in one's life, it is necessary to have a living and conscious relationship with one's soul or higher self. However, our lives in the world have become so active, we are often unable to maintain that connection without both active desire and spiritual training. Join Shahabuddin and I as we guide experiences that foster the deepening of our partnership with our souls, using the beautiful setting of the camp to propel us naturally into this state of awakened connection.
