This retreat will be the final part of the "InLove" online course, dedicated to the deepest aspiration of a person - to experience oneness with essential love, with the Beloved, in one's own heart and manifest it in everyday life and relationships with others.
Late April - early May is a great time to travel to Turkey. Trees, flowers, and herbs bloom. Nature opens up with unimaginable force; the clear air is filled with the aromas of plants and birds singing. We will practice yoga, walk along mountain paths and sit by the fire in the evenings. We will also meet practicing Sufis and walk to the ancient Lycian ruins.
Program
At the retreat, we will look for a connection with essential love, the power of creation that creates, manifests, and animates the phenomenal world, including us. We will do this by practicing ashtanga yoga, pranayama, chanting, meditation, practical philosophy, and reading nectar poetry.

The retreat is for practitioners of all levels. Come even if you've never done yoga or taken the "InLove" online course. We are happy to meet any human being with a curious mind.
And More Unique Things to Experience
Modern teachers and practitioners of the Sufi tradition will visit us. We will get acquainted with one of the most excellent spiritual teachings with the help of those who today follow this path and learn about the view and methods of Sufism. We will spend an evening with the musicians from the Sufi community who explore the depths of the spirit through art and share insight with those who are ready to hear.
Sufism is a mystical teaching born from Islam, absorbing the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism. One of the famous Sufis is the poet Jalaladdin Rumi, whose ecstatic poetry we will enjoy during the "InLove" online course. Sufism explores the human desire to merge with the divine, which we will discuss in our exploration. The longing to experience the meeting with the Beloved is one of the critical topics of Sufi poetry.
