“Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.”- Jelaluddin Rumi
Coming to this program you will see, experience, and embody humanity’s future – where Jews, Muslims, Christians, and other religions live together as one family. The Abrahamic Reunion’s greatest work is to be a living example of a harmonious, multi-faith family, which works to overcome the violence and trauma that threatens to tear apart the Holy Land and the world. How do they do it, risking their lives simply to be with each other as friends across religious and political lines?
The world is in such a sad and difficult period and now every spiritual human being is called to do their part – whatever they can – to help make peace in the world.
This program offers a transformational course of experiencing, cultivating, and sharing inner peace with uplifting, esoteric, and sacred practices from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Universal Sufi traditions.
