Abode Village View – Week of 12/11
“The knowledge of plurality begins life; but in the consciousness of unity is life’s culmination.” – Hazrat Inayat Khan
Dear Friends,
Winter is in full swing at the Abode! Come and share the warmth of companionship (and a hot beverage) at one of our upcoming events!
New Year’s Eve Retreat
The New Year’s Eve Retreat begins 12/29. Aziza invites you to start the new year with a sacred journey to yourself. Yaqin will be assisting this year, and a Livestream option is available. To register, visit theabode.org/programs or email programs@theabode.org.
Rumi’s Urs
Next Sunday’s Universal Worship will honor Rumi. There will be time to share. Bring your favorite Rumi poem, bring a memory or a song for him. Share with anyone who knows to listen that they can catch a glimpse of what Rumi knew, here at the Abode next weekend.
“On the seeker’s path, wise men and fools are one.
In His love, brothers and strangers are one.
Go on! Drink the wine of the Beloved!
In that faith, Muslims and pagans are one.”
Abode on the Road
On the winter solstice, Thursday December 21, Yaqin’s class on light will be held at Stable Gate Farm and Winery, home of the Stable Gate Dharma Collective and a hub for interspiritual events.
