Sufi Alchemical and Healing retreats

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”   – John Muir, naturalist, environmentalist and wilderness advocate-

Do you feel the need for sacred time out — to pause, to release the weight of daily life, and to reconnect with the Source of light and love within you?
Do you long for renewal — a gentle reawakening in the presence of nature, beauty, and spiritual companionship?

If so… welcome.
Our Sufi Alchemical and Healing Retreats offer a sanctuary for inner transformation and deep replenishment. These in-person gatherings are held in peaceful natural settings — forested monasteries, seaside sanctuaries, or retreat centers nestled in wild beauty.

Here, in a spirit of reverence and remembrance, we attune to the living presence of the Divine and the alchemy of the soul’s unfolding.

Each day begins with group meditation and Sufi healing practices — integrating sacred breath (Qasab), light, sound, movement, wazifa, and zhikr — to harmonize body, heart, and spirit.

Afternoons are often left open for rest, walks in nature, contemplation, or journaling — a time to deepen your connection to what is present and alive within you.

In the evenings, we gather again for music, silence, and sacred practices that open the heart and uplift the soul.

Why Retreat Together?

When kindred souls gather together with sincerity and longing, a sacred space is born — a field of presence where healing, joy, and spiritual intimacy unfold.

Sufi retreats are alchemical spaces. They support the gentle transformation of grief into wisdom, restlessness into peace, fragmentation into wholeness.  In a shared circle of seekers, we are reminded of our interconnectedness and of the love that flows through all of life.

At Lightsong group retreats, we honor both the solitude of the soul and the nourishment of community.

Through movement and stillness, song and silence, we remember that healing is possible, and that we are never alone on this path.

Come as you are. Let the beauty of the earth and the practices of the heart guide you home to yourself.
