The purpose of life is for each person to become aware of that majestic aspect of himself or herself. Hazrat Nader Angha Pir Oveyssi

A time to relax, release, let go, and simply be.....

A time for peace,
 A time for quiet,
  A time for hope,
   A time for love,
    A time to seek,
     A time to find,
      A time to reflect the Divine...

What happens at a Tamarkoz® retreat?

Retreats vary, for each retreat focuses on a different theme and distinct activities related to the theme. At each, people relax, recharge and revitalize. It is a time to let go of everyday habits and worries, and concentrate on nourishing your soul. At each retreat, you listen to beautiful poetry, enjoy the melodious chanting of the Sufi Zikr, practice breathing techniques, release tension in relaxation exercises, savor the beauty of nature, and focus on reconnecting with the spiritual realm. You practice Movazeneh® each morning, and enjoy the Zikr and a guided visualization each evening. The retreats are led by instructors with master’s or doctoral degrees who have been selected and trained by Hazrat Salaheddin Ali Nader Angha, Pir Oveyssi.

Where are the retreats held?

The Tamarkoz® retreats will now be held in the new Sufi Center in Sacramento, California. It is a quiet, peaceful setting, only 20 minutes from the airport. In addition to the khaneghah, there is a community room large enough for the varied activities, a kitchen and dining area, two cottages for guests, lawns, and a garden.
Attendees can fly into Sacramento, and if they wish, drive to the Memorial Building on Sunday morning and fly home from Sacramento, Oakland, or San Francisco.
