CAMP FOR YOUNG ADULTS
Mirza Inayat Khan, Deepa Patel and Friends
August 9th - August 14th 2010
For young Adults from 18 – 29 years
Every human personality is like a piece of music, having an individual tone and a rhythm of their own.
Hazrat Inayat Kahn
This program will focus on the exploration of Sufi teachings specifically for young people. It will include practice in meditation and the application of the experiences in one's inner life to one's outer life.
This will be a new format and new experience for all and we envision a week based on exploring new ways of teaching and interaction. This year we will once again be sharing the joy of exploring the Sufi path to help us " truly be who we truly are"
This is a special time during which we will work with different teachers, learning more about life, ourselves and our relationship to others through meditation and spiritual practices. Every day there will be the opportunity to choose between different groups where you can either go deeper into Sufi teachings and practices or choose a playful expressive activity, providing for both young adults and teenagers.
