Fraternal Forum Spiritual Retreat: "Cosmic Balance: Exploring the Eternal Masculine and Feminine Within" in Collaboration with the School of Life


  • School of Life 4217 East-West Hwy Bethesda, MD, 20814 United States (map)

The School of Life invites our community to participate in this retreat hosted by the Fraternal Forum. This year's retreat will focus on understanding our relationship with the cosmos, with ourselves, our partners, and all our interactions in order to cultivate a harmonious and balanced life.
 
Join us for sunrise meditations, mindful gymnastics exercises, and silent vegetarian meals amidst nature's tranquility. Enjoy fraternal gatherings with inspiring spiritual songs, audio, and video talks by the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, evening meditations, true life stories about the Teaching, and interactive workshops on Cosmic Balance and the growth of Omraam.World (Fraternal Forum/Universal White Brotherhood) in the USA.
 
All welcome for the entire nine days, or to register for any one or more days. If you can only come for one day, do make it to the open-door event on Saturday, Sept. 28, which will be a special program including orientation for newcomers, a sacred dance performance, choral song, and a sacred Fire Ceremony in honor of Michaelmas aimed at uplifting ourselves and all of humanity. Feel free to invite your family and friends to this special day.
 
Whether this is your first time or another step in your journey with us, get ready for a chance to experience what life in the Golden Age could be like. You'll take part in activities that help create balance and togetherness in a caring community.
