YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THE FULL JOURNEY,
OR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOUR SECTIONS
The vision of this journey is rooted in the wish to bring clarity into the common essence of certain spiritual practices from different cultures, to have a shared experience, and create a platform for a:
deep personal process,
deep group process,
a meeting,
and a message to be send out to the world.This is an exploration of 40 days passage of transformation as journeyed by the prophets & saints of Judaism, Christianity & Islam, in the deserts of the Middle East. The wish is to create a new context for these ancient stories.Our prayer is that by exploring these archetypal stories of transformation we will learn many fundamental & forgotten components in the process of the becoming of leaders. This project invites the spirits of pilgrims & pioneers; following the paths of our ancestors as we create a new story for ourselves, for the Middle East, & beyond.The principle of the transformative effect of 40 days of a particular practice, quest and inner journey - is a fundamental key in the spiritual technology of Kundalini Yoga, rooted in the ancient wisdom of India and Tibet,
as much as it is known to be a key period of transformation through the ancient stories of religions born in the middle-East.The vision of this 40 DAYS IN THE DESERT project is to gather an international group of devoted practitioners from varied backgrounds, to dive deep into the spiritual journey, and to meet each other on levels that are usually unattainable in the pace of the modern times, and in the situation of the middle-east.
The commitment of an international group to this retreat in it’s unique context may create a platform for people from the middle east to participate and meet on new deeper level. The traditions of the middle-east, as well as the traditions of the yogis, tell about individuals who've been going through these 40 days as a solitary retreat. In the case of our journey, we will be coming as a community.
Join us!
We will be moving between these 4 deserts,
going through 4 stages.
Each stage will be a part of the whole sequence,
And a complete sequence by itself
