This group-based retreat course continues where the 40-day leaves off and is intended to deepen and intensify our studentship of our reality further. Still based on the ‘four pillars’ of the earlier course (work, study, meditation and practices), it is structured around a reading of the Fusus al-Hikam (Bezels of Wisdom) by Muhyiddin ibn ‘Arabi.
Admission to this course is intended primarily for students who have completed the 40-day course, but it is also potentially open to others. These might be people who completed a six-month course, but who feel that they would benefit from submitting to the order of the course again and to studying the Fusus under course conditions – not as an exercise in academic scholarship but for the singular purpose of the knowledge of the real Self, experienced directly.
The fee is £3465 inclusive of accommodation, all meals and course materials.
