„Konzentriere deine Kräfte und Fähigkeiten,
denn das ist die wahre Bedeutung des Lebens.” -- Hazrat Shah Maghsoud -- Al Rasa’el
The M.T.O. Sufi Association held its first Tamarkoz (Sufi Meditation) Retreat for Young Adults on August 10-12, 2007 in the beautiful mountainside redwoods of Mount Tamalpais outside of San Francisco, California.
The Retreat featured a weekend of outdoor Movazeneh in the early morning, Breathing and Meditation, Self-Exploration exercises, Zikr and Live Music in the evening, Poetry, Creative Expression, and Stargazing amidst a beautiful and serene nature setting.
Participants were comprised entirely of young adults (students and young professionals) from across the United States and Canada. They enjoyed a peaceful and contemplative weekend of Sufi teachings as well as the opportunity to bond and share their experiences with one another. Social programs included hiking in the woods, a group talent show, and various sports and games.
