Ride the waves of unity as the caravan assembles at Easter this spring in Prescott, AZ to feast on the
masterful teachings of Murshid Wali Ali in two residential retreats. Begin by exploring the Breath of Life during a weekend retreat, then dive into a wazifah sesshin “Exploring the Divine Within” from Sunday evening through Thursday noon. Both retreats will take advantage of this rich time of year to invoke and contemplate the great healing love, surrender and light found in the consciousness of Christ.

The Breath of Life, March 26th and 27th
|
The study of breath is at the very core of the whole inner school of Sufism. We will focus on a spectrum of Sufi teachings and practices that utilize realization of the breath as the vehicle for accomplishment on the spiritual path. These practices may include meditation focusing on the breath, walking concentrations and attunements, contemplation using wazaif, and of course Dances of Universal Peace.

Exploring the Divine Within - Wazifah Sesshin, March 27-31
with Maboud Swierkosz, Tara Andrea & Tawwaba Bloch
A new approach to the study of the Beautiful Names of God (wazaif) has been developed that has proven to be both elevating and balancing, bringing great joy and great peace.
Wazaif have been selected to cultivate an intentional flow of heart-deepening practices that we will embody through Wazifah Dances. Each Dance will be followed by a period of sitting fikr (contemplation on the breath) focusing on the Names that have been introduced in the Dance.
The afternoon solo practice period provides an opportunity to more deeply explore wazaif that were offered in the morning. Wali Ali will be available for drop-in interviews.
During this time together we will be on interpersonal silence to support inner contemplation and respect for the process we are engaged in. We are delighted to have Maboud Swierkosz and Tara Andrea share the Wazifah Dances they so skillfully crafted.
