River of Guidance

River of Guidance is a program offering short online experiential courses, to further deepen into the heart of our lineage wisdom and practice. The River of Guidance flowing through our silsila inspires us to look afresh at how we apply perennial wisdom to our life conditions and how we manifest our realization in service to the world we are part of.


A home-based retreat where the winds of the world

may soften and your inner fire may begin to glow again.

Guided by Saladin Pelfrey, Rahimah Sweeney, Nur Mariam Simmons, and Jelaluddin Hauke Sturm

Friday, February 13 - Monday, February 16

Registration opens Monday, January 26

We invite you to join us for a special opportunity to experience Khilvat—a time of retreat—from the comfort of your own home.

Retreatants will gather twice each day via Zoom for one-hour sessions. These meetings will include guided practices and inspiration to support your inner journey throughout the day, even as you continue to mindfully engage with your natural rhythms and balance your responsibilities of daily life.

Each day will also include small breakout groups, offering space to share reflections and experiences in a spirit of companionship and mutual support.
