BIRTHING SELF, DISCOVERING SELF, DISCOVERING HOME: A SOULWORK RETREAT
Led by Murshids Mariam Baker and Saadi Klotz, near Ashland, Oregon Oct 12th - 17th
SOULWORK, as developed by Pir Moineddin Jablonski is a way of freeing the body, heart and soul into greater presence and embodied spirituality. It is not a way of imagination, rather a way of experience. It follows the Sufi principle that each human being is here with the ultimate and primal impulse of the fulfillment of the Soul's purpose on the earth in the now. It is both an approach to spiritual practice, applicable to many paths, as well as a method of psycho-spiritual counseling. During counseling, from a place of deep relaxed breath and grounding, there is access to inner guidance and the wisdom that lives within each human being. On the group level, meditation, walking, art, movement, dance, breath, writing and poetry all become expressive components of this work.
This retreat is designed for those who wish to use Soulwork as a spiritual practice, and for those who wish to become certified Sufi Soulwork providers. Welcome to initiates and by permission.
Cost: $675. (includes workshop fee, shared room and meals)
To register send: $375. made out to Sufi Heart Community with your initiator’s name, your name and contact info, including email to: 9820 Wagner Creek Road, Talent, OR 97540
Deposit is refundable up to Sept. 12th
