Week 3F

SAKI LEE & FRANZ KREJS


Awakening!
An experiential retreat guide training

August 2nd - August 7th 2010

»The aim of the mystic is to stretch his/her range of consciousness as widely as possible, so that he/she may touch the highest pride and the deepest humility.«

This summer, in the beautiful surroundings of the silent retreat area of the camp, Saki Lee and Franz Krejs offer an experiential retreat guide training for all lovers and seekers of the inner life.

The orientation for this week begins with our own dedication to open to the amazing bounty that is inherent at all levels of the human being. Our own integrated awakening and loving heart become the foundation for helping others to realize the freedom of the soul, which depends on awareness of existence as the intersection of many realms of consciousness.

Throughout this week, we shall share in attunements and practices as we go through the stages of the Sufi alchemical retreat process for our own personal unfoldment and transformation. Our intention is to include spaciousness throughout the week for participants to be in their own silence and solitude.

From a purified and clear consciousness, we will also devote time to refine our intuition and sensitivity in our face to face partner practices.

There will be evening zhikr circles as well as early morning meditations offered throughout the week.

Please note that if you are already a retreat guide candidate, this retreat could be part of your certification process. In this case, please contact either Saki or Franz personally before coming to the camp.
