Refresh and Renew in the Presence
July 30th through August 4th
Refresh your soul in the riparian beauty of the Voice of the Turtle Retreat Center,
nestled along perennial Bear Creek in the Gila Mountains of southern New Mexico.
Renew your spirit through the teachings and practices of Pir Shabda Kahn and friends:
Darvesha McDonald, Azima Forest, Matin Mize, Jamia Walter, Yaqin Sandleben, and other beloveds.
Join us in experiencing Presence as we commune with nature and each other, and nurture our hearts
along with the members of the Southwest Sufi Community, stewards of the land.
Pir Shabda Kahn travels throughout the world spreading the Sufi Message of Love, Harmony and Beauty. He has been a disciple of
Sufism since 1969 and is currently the Pir (spiritual director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International. Shabda brings warmth, humor and clarity in his efforts to help seekers on their Path to Awakening. You may visit his website http://www.marinsufis.com/ for more information.
The Voice of the Turtle Retreat Center of the Southwest Sufi Community borders the Gila National Forest near Silver City, New Mexico. The 1500 acres of high desert land include cliffs, mesas, canyons and a year round creek.
The land is mostly pristine and undeveloped creating a close to wilderness camping/retreat experience.
Camp fee $295 – Early registration by July 8th $265.
