TENDING THE HEART
Rumi’s Path of Transformation Through Love
July 12-15 2024 (weekend only option also available)
with Shaikh Kabir & Selçuk Gürez, Master Sufi Musician
Agriturismo Le Case Loc. Santa Maria Di Lignano 42, 06081 Assisi, Italy
The human heart is the most precious faculty in existence, needing conscious tending, and energetic purification. Our retreat will be a deep synthesis of mindful awareness, a sharing of practical teachings from Rumi, an introduction to the practice of “turning” and dynamic group zikr. There will also be an opportunity for dialog about the spiritual challenges we face in a dramatically changing world.
Join us for these days of spiritual practice, dialog, music, and community.

Seek the knowledge that makes all the difference,
Not the information that clutters the mind.Listen only to those who have become nothing;
The rest cannot guide you.No one comes to truth by effort alone,
But no one comes to Truth
Who has not made the Effort.Stay among lovers.
The rest make too much noise.Kabir Helminski
