Participate in the setting up of our new initiave The Hermitage at Unawatuna, Sri Lanka

Details

  Description

  This secular hermitage is a place where people from all over the planet who are engaged in attempts to understand themselves and the world from which they have emerged, can find the time and a suitable and supportive environment in which to do so undisturbed. It is a place that we hope will facilitate the Spiritual Transformation of those who seek spiritual and psychological development and growth.
  
  Writers and Researchers and Anthropologists and Students and Practitioners of Spiritual Development may also find that the hermitage supports and facilitates their activities. Those who wish to spend extended periods of time in the pursuit of these practices are also welcome.
  
  Taking my orientation from the traditions of Sufism I am moving towards secular Universal expressions and practices of Spirituality and Spiritual development and their support and facilitation. The setting up of this hermitage is my most current engagement in this direction.
  
  Those who voluntarily seek to assist in this initiative will be treated as people interested in this initiative and will be welcome to access its processes and dynamics and participate in its activities.
