to ourselves with creative body work (like in the last work

create something with wood and nature stones, cut wood ...
The rest of the day we'll relax, go for nature walks, to the beach and
on the mountains, meditate, make music, sing, dance, remember the One,
celebrate life and our community, sit at the
fire underneath the starry sky, share stories and impressions and have
a lot of joy together. Contact

Spiritual Astrology
May 23 - 28, 2010
with Siddiq Winfried Henkes
Seminar assistant and supporting programme (Yoga): Saroj Virginie Boudier
In Harmony with Heaven and Earth
The
birth horoscope is a map of the soul. It reveals cosmic seeds and
talents for the unfoldment of personality and the fulfillment of our
life's purpose.
What will come out of the seeds is not told by the horoscope, it
depends on many factors. Especially on ourselves and the way we mould
our lives in harmony with heaven and earth.
This seminar focusses on direct astrologic experience and spiritual energy work.
Previous astrologic knowledge facilitates the access to this seminar, but is no precondition for participation.
For
a while, we'll leave our familiar world behind and follow the primary
universal rhythm inside of us. The simple life at Cala Jami and the
magnificent nature of Sardinia will suopport this.
We will consciously breathe the purifying power of the elements, share
alchemical practises connected with the sun, the moon and the planets,
practise ritual movement, holy sound, and mystic relaxation.
Siddiq will provide each of us with a personal horoscope, putting the focus on the axis of time:
- Heal the
past - dissolve old wounds, imprintings, shadows, in order to
facilitate the natural unfoldment of the constellation of our birth.
- Master the
present - reconcile different planetary impacts and fractions of our
personality and reach the solar unity in our hearts.
- Create the future - implement our own ideals, goals and the purpose of our life in harmony with heaven and earth.
Please add the proper date, time and location of your birth to your registration.
For
further information see the info-box below.

100 years Sufism in the west  5 years Cala Jami
 
Jubilee Celebration
June 5, 2010
as well as the day before and after
„Create a beautiful world with beautiful people“
Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
Hundred years ago Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan travelled from India
to America, fulfilling his mission to bring Sufism to the west. Since
then, such beauty and fruitfulness have grown, outwardly and inwardly.
Also Cala Jami's coming into existance has arised out of Murshid's
vision: enthusiasm and love for the creation of a spiritual Sufi centre amidst the
beauty and power of nature gave birth to Cala Jami, have
nourished its unfoldment over the years, and are still holding the
vision and giving life to this magnificent place. Enthusiasm and love
in those of us who started the project, in those who joined later with
their support, and in all those who have come to visit Cala Jami,
to take part in a retreat or workshop, contributing in various ways,
enriching the place and its atmosphere with your own beautiful and
precious energy. That's why we want to celebrate and invite especially
those who have already been at Cala Jami.
 During June 5th, in the morning we will have a joyful and creative
celebration of Universal Worship. In the evening we'll celebrate
on the beach, in a beautiful bay.
Further activities planned for the three days of celebration: singing,
making music, meditation, Zhikr, walking on beautiful nature paths, cooking and eating together.

“I wandered in the pursuit of my own
self. I was the traveller, and I am the destination.”

The Sufi alchemical retreat is a
contemplative experience. It is a break from the routine
of everyday life for a focused period of
- reflection and meditation
- Sufi practices with zhikr, wazaif, breath, sound and
light
- walking practices (through magnificent nature trails and
the beach)
- inner and outer silence
The retreat process can
revitalize and heal us, giving us new insight into life, and
is a rare opportunity to explore the keys to your own
unfoldment.
This year you are invited again to come on
individual retreat in northeastern Sardinia, where the beauty
and sacredness of nature will support your inner journey and
essential self.
The Alchemical Retreat process has been
developed by Pir Vilayat Khan as a most effective way of
creating a genuine spiritual transformation.
If you would like to go on thos retreat, you should already have basic
experiences with Sufi practises. As space is limited, early
registration is recommended.

this retreat and have daily individual sittings with each of
the participants, has focused on this transmission of Pir
Vilayat’s teachings for more than 30 years. She is the

Zhikr
Allah - Dance of the Whirling Dervishes
October 11 - 15,
2010
A week of remembrance and prayer in movement with Fatimabi
Monika Grieger
Someone asked, "What is Sufism?"
Rumi
answered, "To find joy in the heart when sorrows arrive."
Fatimabi
will lead us into the world of
the Sufi mystics, a world
of love, devotion and ecstasy,into
deep meditation and into the whirling of the dervishes, the prayer in
movement.
Where can
we find God if not in the
hearts of the lovers? We are love, lover and beloved. In the depth of
our heart we find our home, our temple, the presence ot the One.
We dance inwardly and outwardly with our bodies, hearts and souls. In
deep respect of the beauty of the Sufi path and the beauty of every
seeker on that path, Fatimabi will sustain us on our way of
awakening and realization.
In
the Sufi tradition, dreams are known as marvellous guides on our path.
For some afternoons we'll share dream work, Fatimabi guiding us with
intuition and clarity. During other days, in the afternoons we'll have
trips to some poweful ancient places and to the beautiful beaches.
For further information see
the info-box
below.

Retreat 2010
with Munir Voss
November 1 - 5, 2010
Munir
especially works with the following Sufi techniques:
- breath and light
- the subtle centers of our being
- Wazaif: concentration
and invocation of the “most beautiful names of God”
- Zhikr („remembrance“),
the Sufi prayer that unites body, mind, heart and soul
During
the alchemical retreat
process we travel into the inner worlds of light and truth. On our way
we might
be confronted with our shadows and self-illusion. This is welcome: to
face all
facets of life, to become deeply aware of reality and to accept it as
it is,
gives life to a process that may – if it is the will of God
– cause a deep
awakening, which lasts longer than one week of retreat.
During
the morning
sessions we will meditate together. In the afternoon everybody will
spend most
of the time with individual training outside, in the powerful nature. In the evening we meet for
Zhikr.
Usually in the beginning of november the weather is still mild and comfortable. At
night it might get cold. There are warm blankets available. The
meditation tent
is easily heatable.
For further information see the info-box below. |
