That Which Transpires Behind That Which Appears
An Exploration of Pir Vilayat’s Retreat Process w/ Devi Tide
A three-part series Saturdays April 24th, October 30th & February 12th (12-3 pm Eastern)
On the first weekend of March, 1993, about 100 people gathered for an intensive, three-day spiritual retreat guided by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan. Out of this retreat came a book called That Which Transpires Behind That Which Appears. Through three, upcoming half-day retreat sessions, Devi Tide , longtime Secretary General for the Sufi Order (now the Inayatiyya), and close personal assistant to Pir Vilayat, will illuminate the offerings from this and other Pir Vilayat retreats, all documented by the Sufi Order staff from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.
You are invited to join us for one, two, or all three That Which Transpire retreats. These retreats are suitable for all levels. All are welcome.
