Murshid Moineddin Dargah Retreat Hut
Hazrat Moineddin Jablonski, Pir (spiritual director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International for 30 years, had the vision upon which the SSC was founded. His Dargah, or burial place, is located on Southwest Sufi Community land, on a site that he himself chose. He also chose a site on the hill above the Dargah for the Dargah Retreat Hut, which has been completed as a cozy retreat place for one person. The views from the Dargah Retreat Hut are vast and inspiring. The sheer silence is palpable. The stars glimmer in the velvet darkness and nothing detracts from inner and outer solitude. Guests are welcome to stay for one night or more at the suggested donation of $20 a night. Water, hand carried to the Retreat Hut from the artesian spring, and linens are provided by the SSC community. The hut is simply equipped with a single bed, wood burning stove for heat, a one-burner camp stove, sink and a nearby outhouse. The community offers options for having meals provided and brought to the Retreat Hut for a modest fee which is arranged before arrival. Alternately, the retreatant may prefer to make meals in the community Retreat Center and is also welcome to shower there. Individuals wishing to experience a personal guided retreat may request a list of local retreat guides. For more details, or to make arrangements and design your own unique retreat, inquire with the Host-Coordinator at sscvoc@gmail.com or PO Box 373, Silver City NM 88062.
