Southwest Sufi Camp 2022 and Volunteer Opportunities
This is a very exciting time here at SSC, as we have been busy refurbishing the retreat center and building a new dance pavilion!
We are offering three Volunteer positions to those who would like to experience living in a vast wilderness with community, be at our summer camp without cost, and participate in preparing the Land for our Teachers and Guests.
Come be a part of the renaissance of this magical place that Pir Moineddin Jablonski founded as our spiritual home. We invite you home this summer to experience this true Silence, Nature and Beauty. Put your feet in the Bear Creek, refresh your soul and spirit as you gaze out into forever views. Be a part of what’s happening here! Come and join us this for this very special Volunteer Opportunity! We await you here.
With Love and Blessings from the Heart,
Bahaar & all of SSC
