In the 1920s Sufi seekers used to gather in Suresnes, France each summer for two months of sacred study, practice, prayer, and remembrance. After the Second World War the municipality appropriated the large Sufi garden to make room for urban sprawl and the Summer School moved elsewhere.

In the 1970s the annual tradition of gathering took the form of camps held in different places—most memorably, in the white-capped mountains of Chamonix.

The tradition continues down to this day: this summer I will be conducting retreats at two camps, one here at the Abode in the U.S. 3rd July – 11th July, and the other in the Swiss Alps, 29th July – 10th August. These camps are open to all mureeds and seekers; do come and join us.
