Caravan of Love is our first Sufi Camp in many many years, and we are so excited to gather once more at the Abode! An immersive experience where sacred practice meets joyful celebration. Whether you come for the music, the teachings, the movement, or simply to be in loving community, the intention is the same:
We are love. We all come from love. We are made of love.
It’s a weekend to realign the heart, nourish the body, uplift the spirit, and gather in remembrance – together.
Rooted in Sufi spirit and universal love, this four-day camp weaves together music, meditation, movement, and community in a beautiful natural setting. Surrounded by forest and open skies, participants are invited to slow down, reconnect, and remember the love at the center of all traditions.
