Experiencing The Ecstasy of Unity
Munir Peter Reynolds
September 19 –21, 2014
Far Horizons Montessori School
Eugene, Oregon
Bring your original mind to an exploration of
Sacred Unity and our true nature in Wholeness.
We stand poised between the apparently dualist
world and the all-pervading Reality, how we see
ourselves determines our response to life and the
opportunity that every moment brings. Through
Dances of Universal Peace, Walking Concentrations, Contemplation and Zikr we will become
aware of our eternal, infinite being, and attune to
the thread that leads us into unfoldment of our
life’s purpose.
Munir Peter Reynolds is a Sheikh in the Sufi
Ruhaniat International, Executive Director of the
Dances of Universal Peace International, a senior
Mentor of Dance leaders, and a member of the
Guidance Council for the Dances.
Cost: $101 (sliding scale for youth and low
income seniors)
To register contact Zarifah Spain at
[email protected] or 541-337-4604 and tell her you
would like the taco lunch or bring your own. See
the flyer for time and location details.
