Message Class led by Shakur
A Series on Aloneness and Being Alone
Thursday, June 10 | 7:00 PM ET
It is in aloneness that we find out what our heart really wants. How do we keep love and our connections? Aloneness brings fear of the unknown and feelings of survival and abandonment. We need to enter the terrain of loneliness with great tenderness.
In this series of classes, we will attempt to understand our aloneness and how we can find ways to ease this feeling of being alone.
We will use practices, breath, sharing, and the process of great understanding to bring us closer to ourselves and ways we can feel more connected to those close to us. All are welcome to join in the class!
Weekly Message Classes are free and open to all; held via Zoom on Thursdays with password: 119393
Message Class led by Yaqin
Thursday, June 17 | 7:00 PM ET
Join us in remembrance of Pir Vilayat, the founding inspiration for The Abode. Stories and gems of insight about Pir Vilayat will be shared by Yaqin and friends.
The 17th is the Urs, the day Pir Vilayat died, which traditionally is not seen as a time of sadness, but a time to remember we all come from the One source of life and we all return.
All are welcome to join in the class!

Universal Worship
Sunday, June 20 | 11:00 AM ET
Join us for June’s Universal Worship!
Universal Worship is held the third Sunday of each month. This Zoom link will work for every Universal Worship this year.
Would you like to help beautify the Abode this spring and summer?
Our service team is a group of dedicated people helping to tend a facility and land that have been considered sacred since the land’s earliest known stewards, the Mohicans. The Abode’s spiritual and service focus is the basis for offering sacred hospitality to all who cross our threshold.
As we plan for a Spring opening, we are seeking to recruit garden, maintenance, and facilities folks to help us undertake day-to-day care and upkeep and to facilitate upgrades. If you are looking to apply your skills and experience to preserving and rehabilitating something worthwhile, and to belong to a service-oriented team, please see the position descriptions below and connect with us!
