Dear Friend,
We all wish to grow spiritually, and many of us make a great deal of effort to achieve it. However, experience shows that many times, despite our best intentions and sincerest efforts, we seem to be indefinitely stuck in a rut and fail to make the desired progress. We get caught in roadblocks such as ritualism, intellectualism, emotionalism, spiritual ambition, and so on.
Our upcoming 6-day (2-hour per day) ‘Practical Spirituality Retreat’ is about decoding the transformation formula used by the saints of the East. It explores the path of Rumi, Kabir, Baba Bulleh Shah, and others, and attempts to apply their wisdom to modern life. This workshop is a beautiful blend of presentations, storytelling, role plays, activities, and, of course, some serious philosophy explained in a light and relatable scientific language. It is a program that can go a long way in helping you live a rich and fulfilled life.
