Healing Ourselves and Our Community: Harmonizing in Retreat
with Dr. Randy Weston and Pir Zia Inayat-Khan
September 22 - 24, 2017
REGISTER NOW
In a world of diversity, music is the universal language that can speak to hearts across the distinctions and differences that divide us. Master Musician Dr. Randy Weston speaks the language of not only music but mysticism, influenced by Sufi mystic and musician, Inayat Khan. Hazrat Inayat Khan’s son, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, founder of the Abode, was also a musician and Sufi teacher and so this retreat focuses on music, mysticism, and the healing that comes forth for serving all of humanity.
We invite you to join us for this people of color heal the healers weekend retreat of sound, healing, and harmony! People of color in North America have a distinct experience with privilege structures that have limited their ability to determine the healing processes needed for themselves and the communities they serve. This retreat creates an opportunity to gather, heal, and share their understandings of the issues facing themselves and the communities they serve.
This event is inspired by the intention to bring healing to the world and the most marginalized communities which have experienced the brunt of pain and suffering -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We need healers of color who are supported and can experience healing themselves. By being present to their own suffering, they will be able to be more effective, life-affirming and self-determining. Healers of color are under-recognized, even in their own communities. This event will bring them together in sacred space to honor their own experience, connect with each other, provide support and offer them resources to bring back to the community. We include the universal language of music, that generates our spirit. Randy Weston epitomizes this, through the form of jazz which comes from the African experience in America, bringing people together. The organizers and Dr. Weston have all benefited from the Sufi path. This program is for healers of all spiritual traditions. The goal is to support not only the Message through this path but also the music and the contributions of all who will participate, the Message of Unity. This event is to recognize and support humanity, wherever we are, in a world that is continuously hurting.
Healers of color are often limited in available resources, and funds are needed to support participants to attend this event for tuition, transportation costs and related expenses. Funds will also be used to support Dr. Weston's participation and to secure the venue.
Funds are needed immediately.
Your act of kindness and financial support is an affirmation of humanity, that we can solve all our problems together. This will provide us an opportunity to determine, ourselves, what is important to us and our community, and to contribute in ways that have been difficult to accomplish heretofore. The heartfelt need for justice, social repair, and support of the needs for healing spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically for those who see the pain in the world can be met by coming together. We will be very grateful for your help.
