Week 3C
OPHIEL
Music on the path of inner Realization
Music Retreat
August 2nd - August 7th 2010
Practices with light and sound (after the teachings of Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Hazrat Inayat Khan) will bring us into
contact with a deeper level of our being, where we can identify with clarity, pure energy and love.
We will meditate with music that relates to the several levels of our consciousness.
Creative musical practices and sound experiments will support the faith in us, sowe can integrate the inner reality which we
experience in meditation into our personal being.
Musical experience is very welcome in this seminar but is not a requirement
