Fragrances of the Divine Feminine:
A retreat open to men and women
With Saki Lee and Zumurrud Butta
August 11th - August 16th

There is a growing interest and need to integrate the feminine spirit into contemporary religious and spiritual life. For far too long, there has been a deep split and overemphasis in the dichotomy between spirit and matter, light and darkness, analytic rationality and intuition, the transcendent and the personal.This is calling out loudly for healing and rebalancing in our world.

The seeds of the divine feminine have already been sown upon the soil of human consciousness, but need much tender nurturing and care so that they may blossom and bring forth the sublime fragrances of the divine unity that permeate all of creation and our humanity.
This retreat is an opportunity to come together to explore, re-sacralize, deepen and celebrate our relationship with the Divine feminine. Together in community and alone within the solitude of our innermost being, we journey to the places in our hearts where the essence of Sufism and the Divine Feminine live and call out to each of us.  We practice deep inner listening, attunement and tending to the garden of our hearts with love and authenticity through silence, spiritual practice, sacred music and dance.
