Summer Movement Monastery

DANCEMEDITATION WITH DUNYA

June 17-23

AT THE MILL & MANSION IN PHILMONT, NY

The Summer Movement Monastery offers an extended time in a serene environment to deepen your practices with a community of like-minded people.

Come... breathe, stretch, move, rest, dance, bellydance, chant and whirl without words, with beautiful music, with your eyes open or closed. Enjoy a simple cleansing diet and the spiritual richness of Sufi practice. You'll experience the deep relaxation, abundant creativity, improved immune function, healing and inner peace you've been looking for, and return home with renewed vigor and inspiration.
