Pir Vilayat’s Retreat Process w/ Devi Tide - Part 2 of a Three-Part Series, October 30th,12-3 pm ET
About this event
Note: Each of the three retreats in this series stand alone, although all retreats make a complete whole. If you registered for the complete series in April 2021, you do not need to register again for this series. We will email you the Zoom link before the second retreat session begins.
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 the remaining two That Which Transpire retreats, scheduled for October 2021 and February 2022, 12-3 pm New York Time. There is also the possibility of still receiving the video from the first retreat held on April 24, 2021. These retreats are suitable for all levels.
The culmination of the series provides an experience into the whole of the alchemical process of transformation. Although the three-part sequenced series builds on the previous session, you may join at any time. Video of each retreat will be made available the week after, to review again or to watch for the first time on your own schedule.
