Muslim for a Month

Having worked with this community we share the views expressed in this article.

I am appalled by the accusation of Turkey's president, Mr. Erdogan, singling out Rev. Fethullah Gülen as instigator of the recent military putsch. I am appalled because I am familiar with the work of this Turkish sage, have studied his thought and learned how he understands his mission in society.

*** We're Back ****
When we launched Monk for a Month Nepal earlier in 2015, we were totally amazed by the huge response and demand of people wanting to go there. Our 1st program in April was full and we had a full group scheduled for May. Then in April the earthquake hit Nepal, devastating communities which have been rebuilding ever since. Now with our Partners GAP Nepal we are thrilled to be offering the program once again. A great way to help rebuild Nepal is to come here and what better reason is there to go than to explore the country's rich world-shaping spiritual traditions of Hinduism and the birth of Buddhism.
Come to Nepal, help rebuild the community and give yourself an "Adventure of the Spirit!"

Sad news to announce folks - after more than 2 years and dozens of guests, we have to announce the end of the Muslim for a Month / Sufi for a Month (10-day program) due to a lack of guests. The host organisation in Turkey, a NGO doing wonderful work in the field of cultural exchange and dialogue, were spending a high sum in maintaining the extraordinarily beautiful Sufi Lodge in the heart of the old city of Istanbul and there just were not enough guests to justify the continued expense. While we are sad about it, today we remember all the good times and the amazing experiences - everyone who participated on these programs is immensely richer for it. My thanks to Ahmet Abi, Kudret Abi, Sister Sevde, Father Tom and all my fellow fellow-adventuers; we shall always remember that we are not the drop in the Ocean we are the mighty Ocean in the drop. Salam alaikum.

Dear Friends of Muslim for a Month now known as the Sufi Mystic Experience,

We have now set the date for the next Sufi Mystic program in Istanbul for June 2, 2013. Sadly we have had to cancel some programs due to lack of attendees. Marketing this program globally is rather challenging.

I am calling on you on to please share the coming program with your friends and networks. All your friends and networks are entitled to a 15% discount off the program by entering the coupon code "past guests" when they book the program here http://www.sufiforamonth.com/program/itinerary.html

There is a facebook "event" here that you can share and invite folks too.
http://www.facebook.com/events/351084028332762/?ref=ts&fref=ts

We'll never achieve much without team work and we really appreciate your help in this regard.

Many blessings to you all for 2103!

Ben

"Now, 2 months after coming back from the trip, Nicole and I still feel so honored and proud to take part at the Monk for a Month program in Spiti (India, Himalaya, former Tibet). Often we see some of our pictures which we took there and we still cannot believe that we stayed there – that means in the heart of the Himalayas. The landscape up there is astonishing – for our mind it was very hard to understand the whole prettiness of this part of the world which is so different to the rest. Living among the monks, learning and studying the Tibetan Buddhism, eating and laughing with all the young novices and getting a deep insight in a short time of the Buddha teachings through conversations with some of the highest lamas of this very old religion, philosophy or tradition changed our life completely. After this we see the world with different eyes, we see our life with different eyes, we feel more compassion and more love for all beings than ever before" - Georg, Austria

Let us not wait and "see what happens". Let us instead take action and BE what happens. In the drive towards a more united world, led by the sincerity of global grass-roots movements, there is no "for & against" - you are either with us now, or you will be with us later. We are but the instruments of the inevitable.
