I believe we can learn through exaltation, through ecstasy, through joy and through love. At the same time we must also keep one eye open, so to speak, on our peace, if we want strength, because strength comes out of our inner peace

-- Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti)

What folks love about
Mendocino Sufi Camp

"This is my spiritual Homecoming
The week that makes the other 51 bearable.
I want my ashes scattered here."

"A wondrous world to live and be in for a week, filled with love, harmony, and beauty"

"Connecting with dear friends and Murshids in a spiritually supportive environment, where I can consolidate the previous year’s experience with a deeper understanding of myself"

"It’s a love fest."

(Quotes from the 2012 camp survey)
