Join us for Silent Meditation alternating with Zikr and Dances of Universal Peace, integrating active practice with meditation, a deep and joyful experience.
“The Dances of Universal Peace and Zikr are an excellent way to prepare for meditation and meditation is an excellent way to prepare for the Dances of Universal Peace and Zikr.”
— Murshid Samuel Lewis
This potent practice combines the power and resonance of the Zikr Circle - Dance Circle with the profound calm and abiding insight of the meditative state. It is our goal that this integrative approach will move us toward a grounded balance of Serenity, Insight, and Awareness. The teachings and transmission of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel Lewis will be woven into the context of the retreat.
Our retreat site is The Bishop Ranch , a beautiful property in Healdsburg, CA. It has a spacious Dance/Meditation Hall, delicious meals and comfortable lodging in single or double rooms. We only have 50 beds available so early registration is advised. We can easily accommodate off-site registrants, commuter or camper-van registrants.
Cost for retreat, lodging, and meals is $895/double occupancy or $1195 for a single room. $625 for full-time commuters, RV and camper-vans (requires reservation). $150 per day for part-time registrants includes meals but will need to have off-site lodging. Drop in or partial day attendance also requires pre-registration.
$200 deposit secures your registration, although full payment with registration is preferred. Please assist us by registering early. Complete payment due by Jan 26th. Registration closes February 9, 2024.
