What amazing times we live in! And we were born to be
here now. Each of us has a place in the momentous
events taking place. Our dreams can help us to understand
why we are here and what we are to do, and give
us strength and inspiration to carry out our mission.
And so also with the Oracles. If we allow the Spirit of
Guidance to speak to us through them, wonderful and
often surprising wisdom and insight come to us.
Historically, dream work has been important in the Sufi tradition since its very beginnings. In this retreat, we will explore dreams together; each
dream told becomes a dream within each participant,
and we all benefit from the work. We will interweave
this work with enrichment from the Tarot and the
I Ching.
Friday 14 - Sunday 16 December 2018
Khankah SAM, San Francisco
This retreat will be guided by Sheikha Azima Lila Forest, with
40 years’ experience working with dreams, Tarot, and I Ching.
