Letter from Our Spiritual Director

Coming Soon ....

Spring camp theme is Here...

About Inner Preparation: I have often realized, near the end of past camps, what I came for. "Oh, I wish camp was longer. Why didn't I remember at the beginning?" I know about intention and how I can be more and more conscious with each interaction, passing love and support along to others. But it takes some time to remember at a deep enough level to have the potency or the consciousness to pass it on to others. What if I start camp in the state where I usually end it. As camp approaches I intend to be more and more conscious of the possibilities of, "whenever two or more are gathered". Please join me in a way that you know works for you. Let us begin to prepare ourselves now so when camp begins we're conscious enough to serve at the deepest levels.

Spring camp in hindsight

My experience this year was different than any before; I dropped all baggage at the airport & drove to camp with an open heart, and lots of desire to experience whatever might happen. I found myself activating my "observer self" - not the detached judge of persons & events, but the One within who watches for sparks of the One around me. In the past, I might have had some resistance to the sesshin, but this year it was just what the Doctor ordered! During morning practice, Nuria gave us s… Continue

Managing a Sufi Camp

Dear Ben,

This is the blog where you and I can discuss camp management issues in a public forum. The hope is that all campers will gain a deeper appreciation of just what it takes to make a camp happen in a good way.

I look forward to your input, comments, etc. And perhaps others will join in.

Love only Love,
Shams
