Passion burns down every branch of exhaustion;
Passion’s the Supreme Elixir and renews all things;
No one can grow exhausted when passion is born!
Don’t sigh heavily, your brow bleak with boredom;
Look for passion, passion, passion, passion! - Rumi

Learn to live from your deepest, holiest passion and become a sacred activist! Dive into the great mystical poet Rumi’s transforming practice of love and surrender to your highest potential through ecstatic dance, music and poetry  and unfold your passion into real action. Open your being to Sema, or deep listening with the heart through whirling, shaking, zikr and bowing - from wild abandoned movement to deep calm. Banafsheh and Andrew’s retreats are known for their ability to catalyze lasting transformation and healing through the integration of ecstatic dance, Sufi ritual, yoga, meditation, world music, sacred activism, a special performance and the poetry and teachings of Rumi. The experience will leave you feeling deeply nourished in an empowered state of embodiment.

Andrew Harvey is a writer, teacher, internationally renowned religious scholar, and the author of more than 30 books. Read more about him at  www.andrewharvey.com

Open to All, this retreat is held in Canada's leading retreat center in the spectacular natural setting on Cortes Island.

Banafsheh and Andrew will also perform Eshqh - Love's Wild Fire, an evening of ecstatic dance and poetry as part of the retreat.
