Join Sufi teacher, filmmaker, and Emergence Executive Editor Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee for an evening at St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London that will explore the seismic shifts in our natural and cultural landscapes and the new stories that are emerging in their wake.

We have arrived at a threshold: a liminal space where the world we have known is coming undone and new configurations are still taking shape. In this moment of great loss, possibility, and transformation, what are the stories we need to orient ourselves within our shifting landscapes? Set in the Otways in Victoria, Australia, this four-day, three-night retreat with Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee will offer participants ways of engaging with and navigating our present moment of unprecedented transformation.  Hosted by Emergence Magazine, this gathering will consider how Earth’s ancient patterns and pathways are changing rapidly, how cultural landscapes are undergoing seismic shifts, and how outdated myths are being discarded. Through lived experiences including talks, meditation, nature connection practices, walking meditation, writing workshops, and a special film screening, we will witness ways in which the world we have known is coming undone, and listen for the new stories that are emerging.

This two-day seminar at the CERES Environmental Center in Melbourne with Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee will explore how Sufism and its heart-centered practices can offer a space of deepening kinship with the living world and guide us into “falling back in love” with the Earth.
