“The Sufi recognizes the Murshid (teacher) in all beings of the world, and is ready to learn from young and old, educated and uneducated, rich and poor, without questioning from whom one learns. Then one begins to see the light of Risalat, the torch of truth which shines before one in every being and thing in the universe.” Hazrat Inayat Khan
We make the affirmation of “Turning Toward the Light” as we gather to renew friendships, to support each other spiritually, to dance, pray and deepen into practices. Our guest teachers Halima and Abraham Sussman travel the world offering Dances and Sufi teachings. Our local communities have a wealth of devoted teachers with much wisdom to share; and along with the camp staff and wonderful musicians make our sacred space a living treasure.
With love, Zahir and Karima

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sufi Camp, both spring and fall. I did not ask the question as a complaint! Rather, I am calling us to remembrance of the 'early days' when new ideas and ways of doing things was the familiar.
Have we gotten into a space of "we've always done it that way."? Are we complacent? Is it all "old hat"?
I have more questions than answers, and I welcome your thoughts.Posted by Shamsuddin Jim Norton on January 14, 2011 at 5:24pm
Yes winter is here... in full force... so why am I thinking of Spring Camp and scholarships?
Perhaps because I just recently had a conversation with the camp manager, Ben Moore. He told me that almost all the positions are filled. There is a wonderful position still open: Kitchen Cleanup Meister to oversee the operations of kitchen cleanup.
So how about it? Any takers?
Love Ya All,
Shams
