The Sufis say, ’Oh Man, if you only knew that you’re free! It’s your ignorance of your freedom that is your captivity.’
Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
According to the Trappist Monk Thomas Merton, the most important question in the spiritual life is "Are you free?", because infreedom we discover our true self. If only we knew what the potentials in our being are, we would realize that it's our ignorance of those potentials that limit us.In this retreat we will practice the steps we must take to discover our potentials and embrace and live out this freedom.
