David Biller - On site director and solver of every possible issue.
  Sophbet is a spiritual discussion on subjects posed by the community. Here Murshid Wali Ali, Mary Shaffea Bartley and Sheikh Firdousi Wyrick form a panel that explore some of the deep esoteric truths that are held by Sufism.
 
Nicola Amadora and Tofah Eileen Yragui hold a workshop on "Reconciliation between Men and Women". A powerful experiential process that brings one to the deep and shadowy abyss of our fear and estrangement from one another.
  Sheikh Firdousi Wyrick teaches on practices of light and the embodiment of spirituality.
  The South Bay Camp offers a unique opportunity to the community to sit with some of the truly great teachers within the Sufi Stream. Here Murshid Wali Ali shares from his wealth of understanding and experience.
  Early morning Universal Worship with Fehrunnisa and Junayad Moore beneath the cathedral of towering redwoods. Camp is a sweet opportunity to learn together, pray together and deepen in our connection to one another.
  The Dances of Universal Peace form the heart of the camp and their pulse can be heard from morning till late in the evening. They are Body Prayers using sacred phrases and traditional music from every spiritual tradition known.
 
The Dances of Universal Peace create a unique opportunity to practice opening the heart and looking into the Divine Nature of every person.
  May the beauty we see be what we do.
  Great meals prepared by the Happy Valley Conference Center to accomodate everyone's dietary needs.
  Afternoon break with Amrita Cottrell who plays the crystal bowls and other instruments in a meditation of sound healing.
 
Rockin and Jammin Kawali Music with Junayad Moore, Gitanjali Rivera, David Rhodes and guest drummer Kabir Massey fills the lodge in the afternoon.
  Yet another way to get high at Sufi Camp!!
  Evenings fill with the sounds of Zikr and the Sufi Community fills their hearts with the astounding love of the One.
