We are so happy to be holding the ‘Crossing the Threshold Retreat’ again in Findhorn Dec. 29th - Jan. 4th!
We are looking forward to being joined for the first time by a wonderful Sufi Guide and Dance Mentor, Jilani Cordelia, for 6 days which promise to be a highlight for the end of the year!
During this magical time of the year, Barbara and Jilani invite you to 6 days of celebration in a community of heart, drawing on the riches of the Sufi tradition in song, dance, soul work, creativity and ritual.
There will also be time for a journey of self-reflection, connecting with the stillness found in nature and at the heart of our being. New Year’s Eve is celebrated within the community in our traditional manner, with pure, delightful fun!
"Having danced with Jilani Cordelia on our epic Dance caravan through France, Spain and Morocco with the Dances of Universal Peace and at a Sufi Dance camp, and having sung with Barbara Swetina for many years I can only highly recommend joining us on this journey Crossing the Threshold". Love Hanna Morjan
We have secured just 20 comfortable beds in the heart of the
community, in the beautiful Guest Lodge and the Bunk House, with single, twin and family rooms.

Testimonial from a former course participant: "This New Years Celebration has been, as I had hoped, transformational for me. It helped to clarify my next steps, giving me a tremendous boost in practical ways as well, helping me to see the balance between silence and action. Thank you for open heart experiences, singing together these lovely beautiful songs that touch you at the bottom of your soul. I experienced music as as way to connect with emotions, with self, with others, feeling the link between earth and heaven that music allows. I know that I can make a difference, it begins with me, "attitude changes everything”!"

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
