From Movement to Stillness

Five days to explore Sufi dance and silent meditation.
A path from body to heart, and from heart to silence.

This retreat is a progressive exploration of the Being, weaving together two practices that mirror each other: whirling and sitting in silence.

In the whirling, the mind quiets, the heart opens. Gradually, one discovers the silence at the centre of the whirling — and begins to inhabit the dance from that still place within.

When one sits, the outer movement stops. The vertical found in the dance continues inside. One becomes the witness of the inner movement — thoughts, emotions — and slowly detaches from them, until they too settle. Then the heart opens further, vaster. One moves from the heart to the Being — that space which watches, which holds everything.

Five days to navigate between the fire of movement and the depth of silence, between these two shores, until you discover they are one.
An experience that transforms the way you inhabit your body, your breath, your presence in the world.
