SHARING GROUPS

Sharing groups give you an opportunity to share your Asilomar experiences over lunch. There will be opportunities to laugh, play and share your experience of the Cayce Legacy with your new "family." Meet new friends and reunite with old friends as we come together in community.

SUFI DANCING WITH ILONA

Join us on Saturday at 5:15 pm for Sufi Dancing with our own Ilona Marshall before the dinner hour. Heart-Centered Sufi Dancing is a beautiful Spiritual Practice, a meditation of Divine Light and Bliss. We move around the circle from partner to partner, allowing our thoughts to fall away as we experience the Divine in each other. As we connect with our eyes, we do simple, graceful movements while focusing on the positive words of these powerful chants and songs. There are instructions before each dance and we teach you the words, but it is not so much about the dance as it is the Divine connections we make with each other.

HIGH SCHOOL AND YOUNG ADULT TRACK

Young people ages 15 through 21 are invited to join the youth track. You’ll attend the main program presentations but you’ll also have special sessions over meals and from 1:00-4:00 pm on Saturday. To enroll, register as usual and check the box for “Youth Track” housing. You’ll be housed together under the supervision of program leaders.
