    Seminar on the Confluence of Alam al-Mithal and Material Reality With Murshid Shibli Lamont Green

    This seminar on Creative Imagination and Dream will help you make the connections that bring the Creative Imagination into your dreaming as well as your everyday life. It is for beginners and experienced dreamers alike. Opening to the world of al-Mithal (the creative world behind this world) will bring you new understanding on your spiritual path and will bring you closer to a cosmology that successfully incorporates aspects of the mind that you may have previously not considered.

    “Every atom, every planet, every being in the Universe is
    awaiting the moment of awakening”
    -Pir O Murshid Inayat Khan

    Shibli is initiated as a teacher in the Inayattiya Order of Sufism and has spent 49 years on the Sufi Path. He has dreamed lucidly for the last 63 years. He has studied Yoga with Ramamurti Mishra, Dream Yoga with Andrew Holocek, Conscious Dreamwork with Robert Moss, Lucid Dream Technique with Stephen LaBerge, Yoga Nidra with Swami Rama, Zen Buddism with Paul Reps and Sufism with Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Abdul Aziz Said, Shahabbuddin Less (who initated him as a Murshid in 2025) and others.

    Caravan of the Beautiful

    A Retreat of Song and Sacred Journey

    “At Night, We Can See the Stars”

    During dark times, dark nights of the soul, the country, the world, we turn to our spiritual practices, community, friends, and most true inner self for guidance. We must find again our stars, those guides in the night that help steer the course and find the way, wherever we might be. Once they are identified, we can navigate with purpose, direction, and confidence.

    Join us on a transformative retreat where music, poetry, movement, and meditation become the caravan that carries us deeper into the heart of the Beautiful.

    Guided by the timeless wisdom of tradition, we will gather in sacred circle to:

    • Explore devotional chants and zikr
    • Embody presence through movement
    • Reflect with poetry and writing
    • Sit in silence under the stars

    This is an invitation to step beyond words and enter a shared journey of love, surrender, and beauty — an oasis for the soul.

    “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” — Rumi
